Valentine’s Day Specialsaturday – Mr Savvy

This week’s theme is Valentine’s Day and do you get to spend time as a couple. For Mr Savvy and I the answer is no in 10 years , yes 10. Mr Savvy and I haven’t been out as a couple without the children. We don’t get any “US ” time either as one of the kids are normally awake . So with this in mind I thought I would share how I met Mr Savvy.

Back in 2000 I had a become mum for the first time. When my daughter was 3 months old my first husband and myself started to go our separate ways and despite trying to stay together it just didn’t work. We will still living in the same house, he was a control freak and wouldn’t let me out of the house.

We got our first computer and I soon realised that I could connect with the outside world via chat rooms. One Saturday night after a very trying week I went into the chat room as normal, just started chatting away. I said hello to people as normal then started to chat to a man but this was different. It was like I known him for years we sat chatting for hours before we knew it, it was 2 o’clock in the morning. We arranged to meet in the chat room the following night.

He had been involved in an industrial accident and had had his finger chopped off, four days before we had started chatting. Its amazing how fate works. So we began chatting more and more and texting. He then went on holiday for a week and it soon became apparent how much I missed him and vice versa.

As soon as he came back from holiday we started chatting again but some how it was now different it wasn’t just friends chatting this was a lot more. I couldn’t wait for the evening to arrive so I could chat to him again, then he would ring me to wish me good night, this became a regular routine. He invited my daughter( who was now 14 months old ) and myself to move in with him. The first time we met was the night we moved in with him – some how it felt so right.

10 years on we are still very happy we have been through a lot of tough times together, had to deal with some very difficult situations. We have a lovely family 4 children – he adopted my oldest daughter as his own. I couldn’t imagine life without Mr Savvy by side he is my rock. Happy Valentine’s Day to my Mr Savvy.
