    Yes LP I will marry you :kisses2:.

    I would try to be back inside behind her when she sees it.

    Aw, I take back what I said about you :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Nearest Ikea is a good hour and a bit away. Bought some from supermaket, took just under 150 tea lights.

    I work off the philosophy of your a ldy until proven otherwise :D

    Jewellers called the house at the weekend, OH answered so I quickly took the call. The ring is ready but I told OH its another 2 weeks away. I specifically told them not to call the house.....

    So off today into town to pick it up, will leave work a little early so she doesn't suspect anything. Main problem could be the weather.

  • I was going to stick tea lights to some cardboard from work, light it in the garage then carry out the pieces. (and hope its not a windy night :rotfl:)

    Well I think you have a good chance of it working then. And even if the candles go out, she'll still be able to see the message and you'll laugh about it in the future.

    Good luck.... fingers crossed for a "yes"!!!

  • Well even though there was very little wind it was still enough to blow ALL the candles out.... so I set it up inn the kitchen instead.

    She said yes but after three kids that was never in doubt I guess.
