Hey Velvet,
My hubby was the youngest of three and the only boy ! father died when he was 9 so only man in family - enter me
His mum was very high fashion, working in the city , had a boyfriend, lived in a flat - she may have been from outer space- total opposite of my life and family
First meeting I was nervous, but went ok. She was very house proud, gorgeous décor clean as a whistle not a thing out of place.
Second meeting I wore a gorgeous yellow mohair jumper , ok ok it was the 80's, anyway I sat on the plush brown velvet lounge . Sometime later I lifted my arm to reach for drink and horror of horrors saw my jumper had shed yellow fluff all over arm of lounge.
I lifted my back a little and looked over my shoulder and yep , yellow fluff everywhere .
I was paralysed . I kept trying to signal hubby with my eyes but he didn't get it. 2 hours later, still sitting busting to go to loo. Finally got hubby's attention, and asked him to find a brush so I could remove fluff.
After much guffawing , he told me his mum hated that lounge cos it collected everything and a new one was arriving the next week. I punched him in the arm as I bolted for the loo, positive pee on the lounge would not be as acceptable as fluff
Obviously this was a great story for many years and BTW future MIL was the best ever, loved her dearly and I'm sure she even loved me more than her own son at times- maybe
Be your gorgeous self\How could anyone not love you
Stressless
