for asking my chap to marry me on 29th- do I get him a ring? But chaps don't generally have engagement rings? Do I get my own ring ( will only be a cheapy thing either way but more of a token I guess )

he better bloody say yes! After 8 yrs, buying a crap house and having a baby (wonderful) together I think he probably will haha

thanks for any tips

the vest I mean!

TwllBach · 29/02/2012 16:27

I've been avoiding this thread every time it comes up in Active Threads because I assumed it was someone new complaining that they didn't know how MN worked!

I'm glad I did though because now I don't have to bear the suspense for more than a couple of hours Grin

Good luck OP!

Oh Honeydragon the vest is amazing you are brilliant. Best of luck to you maddening keeping everything crossed for you. So romantic.

Loving the updates, Mad!

TheOneWithTheHair · 29/02/2012 17:59

I really thought I'd missed something then. Shock Glad he missed the vest. :)

DrowninginDuplo · 29/02/2012 18:04

Hope nothing happens in the next twenty minutes just off to put the DC to bed early so I can come back to watch the thread.

fabwoman · 29/02/2012 18:08

Oh bugger. I thought there would be an answer by now SadGrin.

Did anyone see the mass proposal on This Morning? It was crap and not how I would have had the women do it at all.

monkeybananas · 29/02/2012 18:10

I'm so glad you thought that fabwoman about the mass proposal- thought I was just being cynical but it was totally mince!!

Honeydragon · 29/02/2012 18:13
fabwoman · 29/02/2012 18:18

It really waw, mb, wasn't it?

I would have had them all write will you marry me? on the answer boards or just 1 couple. 10 women all saying it at the same time was awful.
