It doesn't have to mean that you've intentionally kept something from your partner. It may be that you haven't yet learnt about this 'true you' yourself. In our relationship, I learnt that my husband was, and is, a geek. I should have seen the signs, and we've all heard the phrase that hindsight is 20/20...

Thankfully, this year I didn't make any! and now I'm having my mid year personal review, I feel the better for it. “Fail to plan, plan to fail!” being the usual story of my life. But in these circumstances its actually worked in my favour. I've not set http://www.probert.me.uk/lud/2006/08/midsummers-evaluation.htmlRachel Proberthttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/32297440/posts/summary/115489869607406526Sun, 06 Aug 2006 21:10:00 +00002006-08-06T22:11:36.076+01:00I have a real problem with pushy sales people. In fact, I hate them. I hate the way they assume that you are ready and perceptive to buying new products or services to replace the ones that you are perfectly happy with! “No thanks, I don't want double glazing, there's nothing wrong with my Windows. “ or “ NO, I don't want to get the exterior walls of my house painted in a fantabulous weather http://www.probert.me.uk/lud/2006/08/ethics-of-sales-person.htmlRachel Proberthttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/32297440/posts/summary/115489861357270552Sun, 06 Aug 2006 21:09:00 +00002006-08-06T22:10:13.576+01:00I'm not religious in any way, its purely coincidental that I had to go without Internet for a fortnight during Lent - not exactly forty days I know! Actually I had to go without broadband, which may as well have meant no Internet. Believe me, Dial-up is Hell! On a bit of a raw deal with our old provider we decided to switch. Problem being our old guys didn't have a migration package and it http://www.probert.me.uk/lud/2006/08/lenternet.htmlRachel Proberthttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/32297440/posts/summary/115489851673222775Sun, 06 Aug 2006 21:08:00 +00002006-08-06T22:08:36.736+01:00I'm used to a feeling of a sense smug satisfaction when I've slipped a couple of extra vegetables in a meal and the children haven't noticed. “Mmmm, this is delicious Mum. I love Spaghetti Bolognaise.” Little do they know they're actually eating mushrooms, peppers, garlic, onion and probably carrot (all of which they claim they dont like). Blend it all in with the tomatoes and the mince beef;http://www.probert.me.uk/lud/2006/08/childs-play.htmlRachel Proberthttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/32297440/posts/summary/115489841909797091Sun, 06 Aug 2006 21:04:00 +00002006-08-06T22:06:59.100+01:00If you look really hard, you can see it. Little signs of spring, little shoots of new life and growth. Day by day, week by week the season rolls round and we notice how it affects our being. We too, like the new baby lambs, will have a little spring in our step as the days get longer and warmer. Our lives will feel brighter and more positive as the sun feels stronger.

In a bid to understand my good husband I have decided to learn about Linux. I recently read a very interesting Ezine article called “Women: Confused by Men?” The advice given was to be more interested in what makes them happy! Well, knowing the endless hours of glorious fun my husband shares with his Linux box, http://www.probert.me.uk/lud/2006/08/stylish-geek.htmlRachel Probert
