    Thanks for the inspiration. I was wondering who to order it for. I have used the 'let it snow' one and uploaded a photo of the snowman my friend and I built earlier in the year. We took a bottle of wine into the garden and got very tipsy! Inside I have put 'thanks for all the good times we have shared this year' .

    Aw that's lovely Bookie :)

    Becky, yes that is a bit weird.

    Becky perhaps he is going to whisk her away for a romantic weekend and choose it together then ?

    I guess so Red just thought it was weird! Shes very indecisive - tbh I'm amazed she could decide to say yes ;)

    Dont think so Ellidee - he proposed on the romantic weekend...

    My husband is the last person I would want choosing a ring for me :) especially one I'm expected to wear every day for the rest of my life :rotfl:

    If someone was going to propose to me I'd like them to have gone to the effort of getting a ring, I'd like to think by that stage they knew my taste well enough.

    Although when I did get engaged many years ago (I was young and foolish), he asked and I just wore a ring that my gran had given me on that finger for a while before we bought the real one - not long though, only a couple of weeks.

  • @ Snaggs - :grouphug: Just read last night's thread, what an idiot. I remember in the good old early days of forums, you could find someone's IP address by going through the source code of the site and then you could find out whereabouts they were posting from. I've had a look though and there's nothing. I guess they've cracked down on that sort of stuff now.

    Try not to think about it though, they just need to get a life. :mad:

    I think its a bit odd but maybe thats just me who would want it done right like something to remember, maybe its spir of the moment so he's going to get her one at the weekend or something


    Also I really want one of these cards but what a dilemma to chose which one and who gets it
