It’s Friday today, don’t ya just love it and I’m going to Ikea tomorrow.
I-K-E-A!!!!
I’m going in for a pair of curtains which normally means I come out 4 hours later and 3 hundred quid poorer, but hey, keeps me happy.

It’s also my wedding anniversary tomorrow (what a fantastic way to celebrate, trip to Ikea), 9 years! Oh my goodness, I don’t know how that man has survived, I really don’t. I couldn’t live with me.
Anyway, my friend Jo is home from Germany for a few days and we planned this night out and she kept it free because you know she has all these relatives and stuff to visit and we had this planned for absolutely ages and then I suddenly remembered what date it was!
So I felt awful, really guilty and I was going to cancel and let Jo down and Hubby was all like “no, go out, we can celebrate next week, I don’t mind” and I was all “no, I can’t do that, it’s our anniversary” and he was all “Go out, honestly, I’ll stay in and watch a film” and I felt awful, really, really awful but anyway. I’m going.

(They have these really nice fairy lights in Ikea that you wrap around your garden parasol, think I need some of these, and a new bedside cabinet.)
(I need one of these wooden box things that look like a table but you can keep stuff in it also, how clever are they!)

The thing is, if he arranged to go out with the boys on our anniversary I would KILL him, absolutely kill the man. It would be grounds for divorce and I would be in a huff for weeks and then I would totally milk it for all it was worth and put my “look at what you did to me you selfish awful man” face on whenever he looked at me until he felt really bad and bought me a car or something.

And he doesn’t even mind.

This is why my husband is a much better person than me. This is why after 9 years I love him more than ever and actually do wish I was staying in with him. This is why after 9 years I completely and utterly adore the man and he makes me count my blessings every single day.

Happy anniversary Hubby! Even though you probably won’t read this the whole internet knows I love you.
