How about proposing as a birthday presenttoottifrootti wrote: »yes it was greenbee who dubbed him MR Toots - it just proves that most of you dont read my posts:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: he has been mentioned on several occasions since I posted my wish list - nearly always by greenbee-he has been one of my closest friends since 1999 and has supported me through my chemo- if you recall i said then I wanted to be married. well its no further forward and if I recall valli asked if he knew how I felt and yes he does. Its his birthday next week and I had hoped to have a coffee with him but since he has SF that wont be possible and maybe not before Christmas either. End of story - no further details will be available for public scrutinY:rotfl:
