Yes LP I will marry you :kisses2:.

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 effortMortgage Balance = £0

Nearest Ikea is a good hour and a bit away. Bought some from supermaket, took just under 150 tea lights.the_end_of_the_rainbow wrote: »Who said I was a lady???????
I work off the philosophy of your a ldy until proven otherwise
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.

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"!!!MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0 -
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.
