Update on my "scary" first date - two-and-a-half years ago!

A couple of years ago I posted this on this board:
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3977525

I was really grateful for the encouragement and support here at the time.

Well, we've been together ever since, without a cross word spoken, and I just wanted to let you know that we've just got engaged. :love:

It'll be quite a while before we actually tie the knot, as practical circumstances (housing/children) still prevent us from living together, but we're very happy.
Life is mainly froth and bubble
Two things stand like stone —
Kindness in another’s trouble,
Courage in your own.

    So there's hope for us all.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    Congratulations to you both. Such lovely news.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
