    Thank you! Have you guys talked about it? I have a work friend who has been with her partner for longer than that & she's recently got engaged, so you never know!

    We have talked about it. He won't let me propose to him on a leap year because he wants to do it, so I just have to wait because he said he wants to do it when I'm not expecting it!

    Thanks for your comments on yesterday's thread, noticed you're from "The Shire"...I wonder if it's the same "Shire" as me as it quite often gets referred to as that! Lol.

    I am from "The Shire" too lol!
