Well done you!
My wedding ring was too big when we bought it, so I took to wearing it on my middle finger, but now I don't bother! Dh doesn't wear his either! We do think of getting nice replacement ones for an anniversary (the originals were from argus, and only bought 2 days before the wedding as we had forgotten to get any :rotfl:, so we were limited to what they had in stock!) but haven't got round toit in 14 years...
Just realised we share a MFW target date

A skinny Mr MWC lost his too large wedding ring last year somewhere in London

I succumbed to a new duvet cover this afternoon - we don't need new bedding but it is perfect for our bedroom

No napping but my body clock is still a couple of hours out - it'll probably be back to normal just in time for a business trip to the US next week...!
We're supposed to be going to Wembley for the NFL this afternoon. I'll wake Mr MWC soon but I don't think he's going to be well enough to go. No sympathy for him please - it's self-inflicted :mad:
