Hi girls! I'm off work today poorly sick and I've just managed to get on my Mum's laptop as mine won't connect to t'internet after OH's brother tried to 'fix' it. Grrrr.

More like a posh sparkly diamond ring!!!!
We're keeping our engagement (ooooh, wierd!) quiet for now as the ring has to be re-sized so it's going to be about 10 days till I get it and OH wants to do it properly and ask my Dad for his consent, brave boy! We got it on a bit of a whim which is why he hadn't already done it. We were just looking in the window of the jewellers and saw My Ring and he just asked me if I wanted it and bought it for me! Apparently he's been thinking about it for a while and was worried about buying me a ring on his own as he thought he'd get it wrong! It's lovely, white gold brilliant cut solitare... I wish it didn't have to be away from me for so long!
In about 2 weeks we shall be officially engaged, as opposed to our little secret at the moment! Eek!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -

Lol I don't think any guy would ever have my dads approval if they didn't know well enough to ask him first!

Aye that's a good way to do it, time to enjoy being engaged, having time to save up the money, and work out exactly what you want your day to be.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
