Spring clean- You dig out your home and get rid of all the Christmas decoration dust and unwanted presents. What? Spring doesn't start till the end of March so that's when the cleaning commences in your house- the universe says so.
Relationships on Female First
Go outdoors- Now the weather is starting to pick up you can take some more romantic walks in the park while talking about your relationship. But these result in you bickering because one of you says something that gets the other's back up. And that's why you don't talk 'feelings' ordinarily- because it always ends in tears. The movies lied.
Have more morning sex- The sun wakes you up early- like nature's way of telling you to have a quickie before work.
Plan for Easter- You argue over whose house you're going to or you give in to hosting it yourself. Then move on to whether you've having lamb or just serving chocolate for ease. The latter is a bonus because no-one will want to come back next year.
Spend time with your Mums- When Mother's Day rolls around you have to make a choice- do you see your mums separately- or together? If you go it alone will you make the other one jealous? Or offend your partner in the process? You decision will affect the rest of your year so it's important that you get it right.
Try to clear out your wardrobe for summer- Then realise that your bodies aren't bikini or swim-short ready and put it all back. Then one of you books a holiday to cheer you up and give you both a focus not to look like beached whales when it rolls around.
Make an attempt to gardening- Then you kill every plant you buy- the realisation that it's not for you only comes after you've spent a fortune on compost and plants with weird names. You resort to burning things in your chiminea and sitting out in the garden with something alcoholic and call that 'spending time in the garden' instead.
Eat lots of chocolate- You have JUST finished the Christmas chocolate- and there may even be some stragglers lurking in the cupboard before your house turns into Willy Wonka's again.
Reinvent yourselves- The new year's resolutions went horribly wrong so you both decide to do more exercise and eat more healthily… just after this Domino's pizza and House of Cards marathon.
Comment at least once a week- On how quickly the year is going, that your life together is slipping through your fingers and how it will be Christmas again before you know it. Sigh.
