This morning, Frances Devlin from Galway Kickstarted the nation (Paolo Nutini, Funk My Life, seeing as you asked) and she mentioned that every single morning after she wakes up, her partner Michael makes her a nice cup of tea. We thought that was lovely, but it gets better! While she’s getting ready for work, Michael heads downstairs and makes her lunch. Go Michael! Not to be outdone, the listeners of The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show began to text into 53102 and tell us all about the lovely things their other halves do for them. Love actually IS all around...
On my days at work, Chris gets up with our 2 year old and without fail I have my coffee in bed prior to getting out of the bed. On weekends Chris treats me to a lie in with breakfast in bed. He is most definitely the most thoughtful husband and he deserves a mention. Noreen
Hi Ian, my husband Gerry brings me a cup of tea in bed, then makes my breakfast every morning. He even unloads the dishwasher at the same time! Jenny in Shannon
I get a wee lie in and a cooked breakfast every weekend morning from my other half Paddy - from Roisin in Dundalk. I probably don't say it enough but thank u
Big thank you to Joe Keogh from Calverstown who has my dinner on the table every evening and the house and garden spotless! Thank you darling
Ian, before I leave home, I tuck the blankets in around my wife as she sleeps... It makes me jealous seeing her so comfortable in bed. Micheal from Cork
I do have a wonderful hubby who cooks fab dinners. Now, he makes a huge mess - which I have to tidy - BUT the dinners are worth it, thanks babes
My legend of a man makes my breakfast every morning, poached eggs and brings it up to the room to me while I'm getting ready! Some man!
My amazing fiance Shane makes me a hot water bottle every night before bed, even in Summer because I am always cold. It must be love. Roisin
Hi Ian my mother has been peeling my father’s potatoes after they're cooked for the past 20 years! He gets a terrible slagging from us!
Ian I have the most wonderful husband who spoils us with the most delicious meals all the time and just generally looks after me and our daughter (and dogs!) so well! He is amazing and we love him loads - thanks Darragh x - your wife Jac and little girl Maisie
Call out to Jack Keating. He does all the hoovering/ironing for kids, painting the house at the moment and working for himself too... I'm spoiled and he's the best daddy! Niamh
Hi Ian! My Dad brings my mum coffee and toast in bed every day. They'll be married 35 years this July. Think my ma is a bit spoiled! Liam
My husband who listens to your show religiously is by no means a romantic but he makes me a lovely cup of coffee every morning AND my lunch! It's the little things that let you know you're loved! Thanks jimmy man!
And of course, among all the lovey-dovey, smushy-mushy texts – there are always a few which land us back to earth with a big ol’ bump;
I used to get my breakfast made for me. Then I got married. Watch out lads.
No Ian, I would be in complete shock if my husband got my breakfast ready for me!!! Think that is pretty normal!
Hi Ian, I get up at 3.30 every morning for work and if I asked my wife to get up with me she would. She'd go down stairs and take out the frying pan and break it off me. Brian from Limerick
