    If the occasion arose I would like a nice simple one like that - but I'd be scared to wear a few thousand pounds worth on my hand so cheaper is fine!

    the one i bought was in the high hundreds but 75% off in the sale so circa £200 and something... and it's a carat or maybe a bit less...

    and i was very pleased with it.

    not sure about the whole 2 months salary or whatever the rule is....

    i mean who dictates that?!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Pap - So pleased Thomas is home!

    Never seen the attraction of engagement rings, didn't have one with DH (had one with ex but hardly wore it)...but then I'm not big on jewellery :confused:

    Seems very strange that I waved DD's off to school this morning, then went to France for lunch, got back, have done a load of washing and now waiting for them to come home....almost like a time warp.

    Brought loads and loads of wine in France but saved £135.40 based on current English Tesco prices :j Got lots of yummy things for tea too - french breads, cheeses, cold meats, pain-au-chocolat, nibbles, pate....my house smells like a deli counter :D

    DD1 was once given a dollshouse for Christmas from a guy she worked with. Inside was a ring - cartier round the outside.


    was that a proposal? or was it in there by accident?
