  • gutted! I felt lost when I didn't wear my engagement ring!

    Also, my wedding band has a diamond in it, so it looks like an engagement ring. Think I was being silly when I picked it, all I want now is a plain white gold band, think I might get one for an anniversary or something - I am silly like that.

    I'm ok thanks, just desparatley trying to persuade myself not to go and buy a mcdonalds....!!

    Ooh, you really don't want a Maccy Ds. They are like the takeaway equivalent of a fray bentos pie. Skanky food made from whatever the slaughter house couldn't sell to the pedigree chum factory. Bet you don't want one now! :rotfl:
