“Happy Anniversary” we said to each other.
“Thank you for marrying me” I continued.
“Thank you for marrying me” Mr Man replied.
“Well, thank you for having the courage to ask me! Or even the courage to tell me you liked me!” I argued.
We then recalled how our relationship began…
I’d known Mr Man since 1993. For him it was love at first sight. He used to meet me at work and walk me home sometimes, but it was a few years later when we really started to become friends. Mr Man was living with his mother at the time and they had been receiving silent calls at their home, which was more than a little unsettling for her.
A friend was visiting me one night when I decided to call Mr Man to invite him round for the evening. As I reached for my phone book my friend reeled off the number to me.
“How do you remember that?” I asked.
“I just have a head for numbers” she shrugged.
Hmm… very strange, I thought.
Later that evening when all my guests had left, including Mr Man, I could hardly wait to call him to tell him what had happened. I called him on his mobile phone. He hadn’t reached home yet so he pulled over into a side road.
“I think I know who your silent caller is” I blurted out, and I explained what had happened.
“Why would she keep calling our house?” he asked.
“It’s obvious; she likes you!” I exclaimed.
“Oh, that backfired a bit then” he mumbled.
“What do you mean?” I asked, confused.
“I was hoping for someone else to like me” he replied nervously.
“Who’s that?” I asked shyly.
“You” was his simple reply.
“Well, it didn’t backfire then did it?”
And so began our
One year and two days later we were married, and the rest is history as they say. Today we celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.
Incidentally, the silent calls stopped when I just happened to mention to my friend one day that the police were going to trace the calls.
What I love about Mr Man

Congratulations! I hope you have had a nice day!
Ahh 10CC one of my favourites now I am showing my age - thats 2 from me this visit. Keep it up - now where was that Mars bar and what has a drum playing ape got to do with chocolate?
Too many broken hearts have fallen down the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love
(the things we do for love)
Communication is the problem to the answer
You’ve got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather’s turned and all the lines our down
The things we do for love
(the things we do for love)
Like walking in the rain and snow
When there’s nowhere to go
And you’re feeling like a part of you is dying
And you’re looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you wanna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
Ooh, you make me love you
Ooh, you’ve got a way
Ooh, you’ve had me crawling up the wall
Thank you TP! We didn't do very much at all, but I have been smiling like a cheshire cat for most of the day :o)
Robert, where's your style? A Mars bar??
I have to agree about the drum playing ape - I thought it was an advert for a new Phil Collins album.
You missed off the last part of the song...
A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree but disagree to part
When after all it's just a compromise
Of the things we do for love, the things we do for love
The things we do for love
As I said in my other blog: "having to compromise for someone you love so much is never a burden".
Happy Anniversary!
Thank you Donna! And welcome to my blog :o)
