Valentines

Forgive me if I have blogged about this before.. but seeing that tomorrow is Valentine's Day.. I thought it was perhaps appropriate to repeat it!

My very first date with Chris was in the Sheffield City Centre wine bar ALL BAR ONE.

I was trying to impress ( so actually looked clean and tidy for a change) and because he didn't at that time live in the city.. the night was my treat!

We drank a bottle of wine

We chatted and laughed

We ate and drank some more

and we flirted outrageously

OKOK we got all a bit silly and just a little drunk... but it was fun!

When It was time to go, the waiter ( who I knew) glided up to our table so I could pay the fairly substantial bill and trying to look cool, urbane, in charge and witty I took my debit card out of my pocket and slid it coolly across the table at him

He took it, smiled gently then   slid it back to me

I missed the real point  of his actions and slid it right back at him

He repeated his actions and slid the card back at me

I turned my head with a quizzical expression

as he said quietly right into my ear

"We don't take Sainsbury's saver cards in here sir"

I could have died

Chris had to pay for everything!

A couple of months later he moved in!
