A big shout out to the lovely hubby!
13 April 2014 
Okay, this is completely unrelated to my typical type of blogging and frankly a bit random. Basically, the better half noticed that my ‘about me’ section doesn’t make any mention of him – even though I mention the kids – and even the dog! So, feeling rather ashamed of myself and a little bit bashful, although in my defence when I wrote that I had only just started blogging, I was new to it, I didn’t know what to put there and, well, enough with the excuses. Therefore this post is all about my lovely husband Paul. This isn’t a Top Ten Tuesday but I’ve decided to give 10 bullets (basically because I’m a bit OCD about lists!):
- He puts up with my reading and book obsessed mania – and only grimaces occasionally at my stacks – you have to remember he’s a gamer not a blogger!
- He’s the reason I even got into blogging. He created my blog and even my Twitter account which I swore I would probably never use! (He may possibly regret this now as I do spend a lot of time either behind a book or behind a laptop screen!)
- It’s great having your own IT on constant tap.
- I read in bed until the early hours with the lamp on and he just falls asleep – which I probably wouldn’t be able to do – and doesn’t complain (much).
- He’s much more driven than I am – in fact in some respects we’re chalk and cheese because I would just be a lazy bum, sat on the settee reading all day (which does sound a little bit perfect) but he constantly drags me all over the place on breaks and holidays which are always amazing.
- He has a much better sense of humour than me – I’m a bit of a grouch until at least 11.00 am in the morning, I need a good 8 hours sleep (and two or three cups of coffee).
- Speaking of coffee, he always makes my first cup of coffee on Saturday and Sunday.
- Being into IT and games he keeps me uptodate with everything – I’m pretty certain I would be writing on a slate if it wasn’t for his digital obsession.
- He’s the family’s ‘on tap’ taxi!
- He’s great and I love him!!!!
That was really quite good fun – now perhaps you can tell me all about your partner/soulmate/love of your life or best friend and inspiration.

Who is this Paul person you speak of and where have you hidden your husband?
Who is this?? Haha, somehow Colin, I knew you would leave a comment. I’ve hidden ‘the real’ husband in the attic – a la Jane Eyre style! This new guy is working out very well indeed.
Lynn 😀
Just when I thought you couldn’t possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this… and totally redeem yourself!
There is always scope for me to get dumberer…
Lynn 😀
I’m also lucky to have an IT guy for a husband – sometimes all this tech stuff frustrates me to no end – he also puts up with my book buying and never complains, which is a big plus in his favor. 🙂
Hah, perhaps that’s going to be a common theme husbands and partners who are IT geniuses! Not complaining about books is definitely a big plus in my view. 😀

Aw, what a nice post. He sounds a lot like my better half. I also read late at night with the night on and only hear minor grumblings and I’m not a morning person. Not at all! Funny you mentioned the dog and not him.
I know – I’m so bad. But, I never really go back on there and check it out!! Otherwise I might have edited it and he would never have known.

IT husband here! 😀 He groans each time I get new books…but he’s pretty goodnatured about it.
Haha, another IT hubby – we could start up a club at this rate. They could all talk about how much time and money we spend on books – on second thoughts that’s a dreadful idea.
