On with the story ( if you are joining me here- please go back and read previuos posts or this will make even less sense than it does already!)
Before chris and i met up after our 18 year separation i said to a friend "I have found the person i am going to be with for the rest of my life!" She just looked at me and said "based on what?" I said "On his voice on the phone- it goes right down my spine and i just know!!" She looked again and said " Look you have just come out of a 12 year relationship, have you heard the term rebound.....)
I just laughed and said "You wait and see!!"
On the fateful day 20th April 1999 a tuesday, I turned up at the address I had been given and was looking for his flat i had to ring him and say i could not find it he came down and I vividly remember him saying turn around 180 degrees, i turned around and there he was all i could think was how he had grown ( well he would have since age 11) and that he was really hairy! lol!!
We said our hellos and hugged. we went up to his flat and he had made me a meal ( I was like wtf- a man who cooks!!) We just clicked straight away it was like the last 18 years melted away, we chatted about my sister and his sister ( who i had never met) his brother. Our families our jobs our lives etc. We told each other every thing that we had gone through since we last met. We looked at photos osf us as kids etc we talked about our favourite books which turned out spookily to be the same series of books ( how likely is that??) Eventually at 3am I apparently said "Well are we going to bed or what?" - Hope My parents are not reading this...
The next day we said our goodbyes and I went off on a holiday to Cornwall to visit my sisters grave, I rang Chrsi every day and ran up a mobile phone bill of £150!! in a week eekk!! ( no unlimited tarifs in 1999!!) He invited me back at the week end I stayed for the weekend and we walked and talked by the sea.
I went home packed my bags left a note for my husband ( we were having a bizzarre timeshare of the marital home with me at weekends and him in the week) saying "taken your advice and f***ked off. Washing in the machine, tea in the freezer you need milk."
I moved in with Chris and 10 years later to the day 20th april 2009 we married at Barnard Castle with me dressed in one of my creations as a medieval princess ( based on a sketch i did when i was 10) he wore a replica 8th Doctor who outfit ( made by me of course) Our two children wore a minature version of my dress and velvet knickerbockers and a waistcoat. Chris and I had a daughter in 2004 and a son in 2007 I will let you work out who wore what!!
