Things she does that you're quite proud of

Looking after me and our three (grown up) lads for the best part of 35 years, that's enough for me.

she cops some flack for her lack of height, everytime the skirting board needs painting I offer to get her the ladder, or more recently I dont ask but just put the ladder in the room, apparently, this isnt funny!

How often do you paint the skirting board for this to be a running joke?

Three moves in 2 years, plus she is an obsessive decorator, things get refreshed or changed yearly almost, you can see why she has tired of it

She gives great head.

Err, can't think of anything else sorry...

Pleased to read so much positive input on this amusing thread.

Me? ...Some said it wouldn't last back in the 1960s whilst at the same time my wiley old Dad told me you've got a good 'n there son.

Close on fifty years later she's still my best friend. ........

We've a lot in common. Being both from an impoverished ( ie. permanently skint ) East End working class broken home backgrounds which of necessity made us both self sufficient from a young age. That has stood us in good stead and although close, we are still independent. Both would survive quite well without the other should that ever arise.

You've got a good 'un there son.
