10 Things Fi is good at

In no particular order:

**Laughing louder than anyone else in the cinema

**Making me laugh through the power of her personality quirks (see No. 3 below)

**Encouraging advertising executives by responding with more wonder and desire to commercials than anyone else on the planet

**Sleeping

**Giving Christmas and birthday presents (Thanks for the Wii Fi)

**Encouraging me to stay fit by simply working so hard herself

**Forgiving me for making the same mistakes over and over again

**Being silly when she thinks no one else is watching

**Saying incredibly nice things in public about me and letting me steal them to say back to her (see No. 10)

**Being the best wife in the whole wide world!

10 things James is good at

In no particular order:

**Making me laugh

**Being very (very, very!) patient with me

**Lying on my side of the bed just before bedtime to warm it up for me, and also making me a hot water bottle

**Karaoke ~ 12 out of 10 for stage presence, 20 out of 10 for enthusiasm

**Accidentally hurting me without even trying

**Forgetting to turn the oven off ~ at least 4 times in 2006 we discovered that James accidentally left the oven on, sometimes for as long as 3 days

**Telling lame "Dad" jokes (the scary thing is, he's not a Dad yet!)

**Adding enthusiasm to anything, even the most boring task in the world

**Being a good sport, as opposed to me, the sore loser (I don't know how he puts up with playing games with me; I'm often not happy because I dislike losing and he usually wins, so ironically it can become a lose-lose situation. I'm getting a *little* better though, promise!)

**Being the best husband in the whole wide world!
