Hope the fact that it's now the weekend is making everyone feel better and colds etc have subsided! Get some wine down you, it is my cure all remedy!!!!

My kitty seems a lot better today too and seems to be behaving herself so we actually got a couple of hours out the house earlier, so.....

We went ring shopping!! YAY!!!! None purchased yet, OH will have to go back another time to get the ONE but we have pretty much narrowed it down to two choices!!
Apparently I am not allowed the one in the earlier post - as my OH doesnt think it's good enough

We walked round every jeweller in our town (a lot) but the two I have chosen are in the same place. One was a complete surprise to me as it is very classic and modern but very beautiful and sparkly and looked lovely on my hand!!
The other is VERY ME in a vintage art deco style which is just gorgeous and quite different to most engagement rings I've seen people with!

They are both about 3 times more expensive than my original choice and I protested that it was far too much money but he insisted that is what he wants to spend.... so I guess I shouldnt really argue!!

I would have posted pics but neither of the ones we chose are on the shops website so I'll wait and see which one I get and then will post a real life pic, so you can all be surprised with me!

I dont think 'The Proposal' will be on V' day as he was talking about it earlier saying that it's not a day that's personal to us - i dont think he means he is going to wait for a special occasion as there isnt any coming up, rather that he doesnt just want to share it with everyone else - I just assume he'll choose a random day so that can be our special day in the future.
He did say that we could have waited til we were on holiday in May but also said that would probably be too far away so that's a good sign!! So I guess I've got less than 3 months to wait!!!!

I have told him that he mustnt do it on 29th Feb as I dont think anyone would believe that it was really him that asked me, knowing how much I want this!!! Plus I dont want an anniversary that we only celebrate every 4 years!!!! :rotfl:

All in all, it's very promising!!!!!!!!

Yay!!!!! so pleased for you bet you're so excited!!!!! Think he's quite right about it being on a day that's personal to both of you !! very sweet!! xx

I am convinced my OH has been reading this thread....

Remember I posted (ages ago) about wanting to get married in NYC?? Well this evening, OH was looking at a website called 'Getting Married in New York' - then turned it round to show me and said 'this might be an idea'!!!!

Its funny because now im leaning more towards a uk wedding but still, great to know he's pretty much on my wavelength!!

I've totally found myself a keeper here!!!!

I still reckon someone on here will beat me to it with a surprise V day proposal - i hav my fingers and toes crossed!!! :T

Ekkk even more excited for ya!! xx

As for me, I did our special romantic Valentine's meal last night and everything went perfectly and we had an amazing time. After a very late night and rather too much champagne, wine and port, OH woke me up this morning with a cup of tea and a wrapped up present. He said it was an early V day present. I opened it and it was a woolly hat...

Awww a wolly hat he's thinking of your head!!bless!!maybe it's a decoy!! Xx

(sorry, see my signature!) ...and he said "You'll be needing this because we are going to Prague!" Turns out what I thought was going to be a very low key couple of days away somewhere in the UK, is actually a surprise break to Prague. We are going tomorrow morning, flying business class, he's even already arranged a car service picking us up from the airport (usually I deal with all those technical details), and we are staying in a really fancy suite in what looks like a gorgeous hotel, and he said he has booked Valentine's day dinner at the best restaurant in Prague.

Oh wow didn't read this before I posted about the hat!! lucky you Prague will be beautiful!! So pleased for you honey!!xx

The exact same thing happened last year with an ex of mine, left me for the girl he's now marrying, I hated her so much but one day last year we had a random heart to heart and she asked me if I could help her pick out a ring for HIM! Turns out she's lovely but he is a serial cheat but still a nice guy even though he broke my heart! Waiting for my wedding invite now xxx

oh no honey!!! sorry he broke your heart!! bleh but hey we're well shot of them now!!! That's so mad that it's weird coz my ex said too that me and the girl he got with (they were friends while we were together!) would really hit it off...once I rang her and spoke to her and she seemed ok... but I always wonder that perhaps they go for girls that are similar to us so we would get on...it's funny how the world works!!

He's still a serial cheat though has he cheated on her?

Yep he cheated on me with her and then he cheated on her with one of my friends... which she knew about and came to me to sympathise with her! All very odd but she is a very nice girl and I am still friends with him so it's all good

They say you go with people who are similar and I guess that's true. Most of the guys I have gone out with are geeky guys, into computers, digital art and the likes - my BF is a programmer... UBER GEEK!! (but very very good at what he does ) However, most of them have simularities to my first ever love (when I was very young!) like most of them have dark spikey hair and skinny... very odd!
