I thought I would have a little contest here in May since I am moving in with my boyfriend. I can't take that many books with me so it will be almost like it has been now, with most of my books at my parent's place. Only a few loved books and a bunch TBR will be here.
The deal is I have moved almost everything but was left with some books, and from those I choose 2. They kind of fitted the theme...well I said kind of ;)
Winner gets to choose which of these two books she or he wants, and the runner-up gets the other book :)
Rules are simple:
1. Open Worldwide.
2. Tell me if you are entering and leave an email if it is not in your profile.
3. Since I have never lived with a guy before, then if you wanna give me some advice that could be nice. Cos it is always more fun to read comments with a little meat on them ;)
4. Ends May 17th.
My baby girl is growing up **sniff sniff**... How time flies!! =)
ReplyDeleteI think it is great! Just remember to never go to bed MAD with each other. No matter what you have said/done anything... Just kiss and say good night.
Of course I want to enter!
Love ya honey!
Hope you had a great weekend!
No need to enter me, but so exciting to move in together! Yay for you :-)
ReplyDeleteAw, congrats!! Moving in with a guy is a pretty big step and it's scary & exciting at the same time :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is the only guy I've ever lived with and by the time we got married & moved in together, we had been together for so long that it was all pretty smooth!
My advice is be patient! There's going to be an adjustment period where you'll be getting used to each other's habits.
Please count me in. I'd love to get a copy of Sue Ellen's book since I've started a collection of her novels on my shelf.
Best of luck!

Don't enter me. Just wanted to say have fun with the move. When David moved in with me, back before we were married, I think one of the most important things was to just let some of the little annoyances go.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me!

Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy advice is to try to tolerate the different living situations, especially if your guy is someone who's used to being messy.

Almost everything (except for kitchen stuff) was moved in this weekend so yeah was a good one :D
Aarti

ReplyDeleteIt sure is, I am loving it, but yes scary.
Great sounding advice, I have know him for a while, but there is always those habits I do not know. But I love him, and if he can keep up with me ;)well then it is sealed.
And good luck!
Thanks Fiona :D
Thank you Darlyn,
It will sure be great

Thank you Jeanette,
Some nice advice there, cos yeah messes.
Thanks patti :D
Thanks for that tweet Cherry! I appreciate it.

Oh the packing part is a hazzle, not to mention that I am the worlds worst packer. Things my mum can fit in a purse I need a truck for ;)
Yay on moving in together!! Congrats hon! :)
ReplyDeleteBe prepared for some fights and remind to keep communicating, then everything will be alright. Remember fights have a purpose, namely make up smexing ;)
Enjoy the living together, sweetie!!
D'oh - I think I was so focused on advice, I forgot to congratulate you! :D
ReplyDeleteNot entering the contest, but I have a toilet seat compromise. That is, if leaving the toilet seat up is an issue. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso keep both seat and lid down. Then you both have to do the same amount of work and no one (YOU) falls into the toilet in the dark of night.
happy moving! good luck and congrats!
ReplyDeleteno need to enter me hun, i'm swamped with books over here.

ReplyDeleteAye the smexing later, good advice there.
Thanks Chris,
I did once more or less fall in, was not fun.
Thank you Naida :D
Thanks for running the comp! I've never lived with a guy either so I don't think I can give any good advice...except maybe that a booklight is your friend when sharing a bedroom! Have fun :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to read Sue-Ellen's book.

ReplyDeleteExcellent advice! I must say that I have been eyeing those book lights lately cos there is no where to read (except the wc)where light wouldn't bother the other one. Ok kitchen, but I wanna be comfy too
oooh wow great give away and it's international. WOOHOO.
ReplyDeletePlease count me in.

My advice: Begin the way you mean to continue. So if you don't want to end up cleaning up after him all the time, don't do it the first time.
ReplyDeleteEg. If his stuff is spread all over the place and you want to straighten up because you know people will be stopping by, don't put his stuff back where it belongs. Instead, bring out a trash bag, put excess stuff in there and push it under the bed*. It will teach him two lessons. 1) a mess is not appreciated and 2) house elves do not work here.**
(Or whatever the issue is. Most arguments between couples are about money and chores/cleaning.)
Sit down and discuss how finances and chores will be handled. It might not always be 50/50 as situations change, but don't assume stuff and then be disappointed when he can't read your mind.
*Unless the stuff is papers to do with an important project/thesis/whatever, in which case do. Not. Touch!
**This may be harsh, but at least he won't later wonder WTF happened, why you don't care anymore, how come you got lazy…
Anyway. Congrats!
Enter me please.
Nina,
ReplyDeleteOf course :) Good luck!
Bookjunkie
Thank you for the advice. Finances and chores, I get why those could be huge problems if for example then just one takes care of it all.
I appreciate this :)
Count me in please. I found that when I moved in with my bf that our lifestyles were more different than I thought so we had to learn to compromise on things. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice :) I get what you mean
Congrats! It's such a huge step - but I sure you will do great :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I with Cecile on this one - never go to bed mad with each other - it's the best advice I've ever heard.
And please enter me in the giveaway.
Thanks Host :)
ReplyDeleteIt is sure good advice
Ooh, both romances look right up my alley. Please enter me in the contest!
ReplyDeleteI've never lived with a guy before, outside of living in a college housing with male housemates. I would say, um, be flexible with the placement of the toilet lid.
Thanks Mary :)
ReplyDeleteLol, oh yes the toilet lid question
No need to enter me.
ReplyDeletejust wanted to say congrats and good luck. Compromise is not a bad thing and communication is key. Have fun!
Wow that's a lot of books :)
It's May 17th, so not sure if I am in time for, but just in case I'm shouting out for a possible entry!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, girl! You're on the move and your future's bright! Very excited for you.
Hope you'll be very VERY happy together! :))
oh, and my advice is, don't sweat the small stuff - so what if he leaves the toilet seat up and the toothpaste lid off? :))
ReplyDeleteHugs
Thanks Sassy and Jenny! :)
