Hot diggedy dog !!
So how did Martin fix the Scrabble letters ??
peter999http://blog.moneysavingexpert.com/2008/01/03/thank-you-from-the-msf-and-i-for-all-the-thanks/
And now to answer the various questions about the Scrabble…
Q. How did I fix the scrabble letters?
A. Simple, in the hotel room before we went, I snuck the 15 letters needed from the travel Scrabble set into my pocket; and palmed them out while she wasn’t looking.
Q. Why 15 letters not fourteen?
A. Because I needed an A to guarantee I went first – that was placed in a separate pocket
Q. How many points did I get?
A. As I put it across two lines, I didn’t really get any.
Q. Did the MSG/MSF notice?
A. Half way through she said “hold on don’t you have too many letters”, at which point I asked her to ssssh in such a way she seemed to realize. Then I when I showed her the board and got down on one knee…. she got the hint.
Very sneaky !!

Congratulations, what a lovely photo of you both, and what a romantic setting in which to propose. Good Luck with all the preparations for the wedding/honeymoon etc etc. Look forward to hearing all about it in your blog in the coming months.
Just had a quick look, Martin if you received an OBE or MBE then you could get married at St Pauls Cathedral... ;-)“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” - Oscar Wilde0
