    Sounds very unusual Jules! I have still got my 1st engagement ring from when I was married to my Ex husband, I'll give it to DD when she is older! My other ex got me a nice diamond band, it cost a fair bit but I sold it - very MSE :rotfl:

    I have actually pointed this out to OH, doubt he'd remember it though!

  • Hi Jody and the other ladies and gents on this thread. Spotted this a couple of weeks ago when i was looking through various diaries and think jody's fish intrigued me. I would love to keep tropical fish but the OH is not keen. How did you get into it and did you find it expensive to start/ with the electric bills?

    It's taken me a fair while to get to the bottom of the posts on this one lol but sounds like you're all a lovely bunch and i would absolutely love to go to the maldives!! :D

    Like the rest of you the marriage thing is a dodgy subject in my house. I know the OH wants to get married and have kids one day, but I don't feel ready yet so think i'm the one delaying it.
    Would love to plan the whole thing but think once i realised it was me going down the ailse and stood in front of everyone i might do a Julia Roberts in runaway bride :rotfl:and i can't run very fast/far.
    Getting there slowly, but parents divorce never helped my opinion. His little sister is getting hitched next July so who knows....
    I did catch myself looking at pretty rings the other day in H Samuels haha sub-concious is evil sometimes :eek:
    I know for a fact though that i wouldn't be whisked away to paris for a proposal though as the OH hates france....think it's an anti Man U Eric Cantona thing he has (Liverpool fan).

    Hope you don't all mind me dropping in from time to time. :)

    oooh that's lovely :) A colleague of mine has a trillion cut tanzanite and 2 massive diamonds on a platinum band, and sometimes in meetings I find myself being mesmerized by it!
    It's a bit like this:

    but the diamonds are waaay bigger and the stone is more purple

    I just want to share his last name :(, sad I know!

    Oh and obviously the Maldives would be an added bonus ;)


    I could never take OH's last name - my first name really doesnt go with his last name - it comes out sounding like an animal... cryptic, I know, but trust me, I'd be laughed at for the rest of my life!
  • I would definately take OH's name, mine is awful and his is proper Scottish!

    Come and join the fun Purple Butterfly, not my thread, but we all hijack each others and comment on them all! :rotfl:

    Do you lovely ladies want to see my dream ring?!

    yes! :T


    (ooooh - tried to post reply and it said my message is too short - never usually one of a few words so that caught me by surprise!)
  • Well it's actually a bridal set, and just seen it's in the H Samuel sale! £175 off, very MSE, might hint to OH (yeah right! :rotfl:)

    that is stunning! I have never thought about a ring. But I wouild have so much fun with dresses...
  • Thanks Pennies
    Ohhh just looked at your ring very sparkly... Looks like the crown Jewels in the Tower of London hehe!!
    I'd be afraid of losing something like that or catching it on something. I would say it's a very :money: MSE price though haha.
    You need to get the HSamuel's xmas gift catalogue and leave it lying around. Plus save the web page in your pc's favourites or as your screen saver hahahah :D
    Hints might work then
