Yeah he did, he says it quite a bit these days - since that time he first said it on 1st September.
I mean, even in that horrible email he sent me a while back, he said it in that - 'I do love you but you always behave like (this, that and the other), LOL. That's when I phoned him up in tears and said I don't care if he flippin' loves me, he does my head in and I was going to run away to Australia to go fruit picking.
Well, since I said that he's been extra nice! I should have threatened to leave him ages ago, LOL.
