    Morning, that's shocking selling him the wrong sized ring!! Things sound like they're settling down for you both now that NIM's working normal and regular hours :) I'm shattered today after staying up watching Seven last night and I'm so sick of my stupid job and all the stupid people! :(

    Morning!

    How annoying that they gave NIM the wrong size! At least you know your right ring size though, I still need to find out mine.

    What do you work as Tete? I agree with the ice cream. It seems to solve many of my problems! :p

    Jogging went ok last night, I only did 10 minutes but I was pretty pleased! And then when we got back, me and my OH were talking and I said 'you know how I feel about young people getting engaged, so I'm not hinting, but I'm just letting you know that I like this style of ring' [showed him the ring I posted on here yesterday], he thought it was really expensive and I said it was £44 and he said that because it's our 4 year anniversary in a couple of weeks he will buy it for me! :D I couldn't believe it! Bless him. :o

    Hope everyone has a good day! :)

    Can't :( Must do washing and packing and sorting car insurance and other riveting stuff. And he's guinea pig sitting anyway. But looking forward to watching Girl with a Pearl Earring on the telly :) How's everyone today?

    ETA- I put on leadership courses for teachers Zig, and as we're a couple of weeks off the summer hols everyone's pestering me trying to get stuff done before then - teachers should know better than to leave things til the last minute, tsk! I'll have six weeks of quiet time after tho so looking forward to that. That's sweet of your OH to get you the ring!!

    Just thought on, was this the week Poddle was starting her job? Wonder how she's getting on...

    Ah I see, that must be annoying! I'm teacher training, and I'm looking forward to the school holidays already! :rolleyes:

    Ooh I forgot about that film, I wanted to watch it too. Doubt OH will wanna watch it though.

    How old are you Zig? Was really odd last night with the girls from church, I'm the second oldest unmarried one. The only one older than me is getting married in 3 weeks. Felt a bit like the honary old maid!

    Tete - Girl with the Pearl Earring will make you feel happier. Colin Firth in a wig playing moody artist man thing, phwoar!

    I'm knackered too, got my jab after work today and I'm just looking forward to going home and watching Ugly Betty! I caved and told OH where we're going on holiday in December and he's all excited, bless!

    Lol that secret lasted a long time Cinny!

    I think I'm a broken woman - I can't stand Colin Firth. Or Russell Crowe for that matter.

    I'm 20, and my OH is 24. But I still feel like I should be at school, so when people my age are getting engaged it seems strange!

    'Honary old maid' :rotfl: How old are you? But I remember you explaining that Christians get married quite young...or something like that! :o

    You're just like me! I'm useless at keeping secrets like that. Me and my siblings bought our mum a laptop for her birthday in October....she got it in April cuz we couldn't wait that long! :rolleyes:
