Screen 9 of 21

Then, in February 2001 I saw a job in my area which he could do which was promotion. He went for it and got it! That meant he had to sell his house, put his stuff in storage and move in with my parents. Suddenly the balance of the relationship changed. It was my friends he saw – not his. I started buying him male clothes on my frequent shopping trips with my mum and generally updating his wardrobe. Occasionally, I would buy him female clothes like knickers etc and I loved the fact he was wearing them and no one else knew. He bought me a black leather skirt which I wore for him. We got engaged in October 2001 and by April had found our own house. It needed a lot of work but I saw the potential and we bought it. We decorated it to my taste in furnishings and moved in August – my first home. Colin had a lot of his things but I didn’t like them so we bought all new furniture and his things were relegated to the shed or got rid of!
