    ooh congrats that's great news. the way you described it i thought it was something down the road rather than an engagement here and now. That's fab. I'm so pleased for you.
  • Hello everybody I hope that you have all had a great weekend in this beautiful weather and are all making good progress with getting debt free. :D I have no real news to update with at all except that I took my boyfriend to meet my parents at the weekend and he still actually wants to know me so it must indeed be love. :rolleyes::rotfl: Oh and I am also now the proud owner of an extremely sparkly ring that I totally adore but not nearly as much as the man that gave me it. :D

    Is this an engagement ring? Or is he just spoiling you?
    Just wanting facts, for goss/ i mean verification, celebratory purposes.

    Thank you everybody and I am very sorry about any confusion that I may have caused which I will now try and clarify. :o I did not realise how poorly worded my post was yesterday but I was trying to hurry which never bodes well where I am concerned because I seem to be working even harder than I have ever done before at this moment only I feel like I am kind of sinking underneath it just now. :confused: We have discussed our situation at great length and we are both totally certain about how we feel about each other so engagement did seem like the logical next step. :D However we have decided that a very long engagement is a good plan because everything is so good for us the way that they are so we both see no real reason to change things just for the sake of it if that makes any sense? :confused: Our relationship has also developed and became really intense very quickly and although we both think that it will last and stay unchanged forever there is no real need to hurry because we have the rest of our lives to spend together which probably does not make sense to anybody else but it is right for us. :D So in short yes we are engaged and are planning the rest of our lives together but for now at least nothing is changing and we will continue exactly as we were a week ago. :o However I do have to gloat just a little bit because the ring is absolutely gorgeous and I cannot stop looking at it. :o :rotfl:
