We even went camping with his brother. I didn’t like camping but agreed to do it. It was raining so after the second day I told them both we were going home and we went! Obviously living near my parents means we see them a lot and book holidays etc with them. One time my mum, dad and I booked a place for the weekend. My mum said, “Tell Colin,” but of course I didn’t until it was booked and then I showed him the hotel on the Internet and said the four us were staying there on 3rd and 4th – you should have seen his face! I loved it! The feeling of being in control was such a strong feeling and something new to me. I know I’m a bit of a control freak, I’m very house proud and like the house to be just so.

On another occasion we went away with my mum and dad and he had a row with dad and stalked off to bed. When I came to bed I gave him a tongue lashing and made him apologize which he did.

Recently we had the bathroom changed. Of course I picked the colour scheme and everything. We were walking through a DIY store and he got a bit short as I wasn’t letting him choose a cabinet. I had to take him to one side and have a quite word.

“Look, you know I’m in control, I choose, you can have your say but I choose.” He accepted that.
