to not know the etiquette

[maddening]

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

mads

Sorry for the hijack OP, didn't mean that.

So what's the final plan? Have you got a ring in the end?

Brian...I'd be cutting it fine to do it on time by the time it gets here as I have a big order of t-shirts on the go now for some stupid corporate day out. I'm not bitter at all doing the worlds most boring job after cute baby vests

Bet you could easily get a T-Shirt done locally though, lots of people float around doing the same as me.

Or if DS is 3 why not buy one of those paint your own mugs you get in craft shops and put Daddy will You Marry Mummy - on it complete with artistic splodges. Then you and Ds could make him a Leap Year Day cup of tea

Honeydragon I think I love you, will you marry me?

aaaaaw g'wan then, it's been 10 years since I married dh (I proposed), the novelties worn off now, time for a change

:)

Shameless place-marking.

moi aussi

I am quite excited about all these proposals!

I hoped you market in a Mnet way Tobes, not a Wolef way

marked

I don't care what you do markets

Love this thread, marking my place

Pinot is the 'marker' round here...

Tobes S'true. Actually, that reminds me I stuck a cork in it.... hang on

I need some lots of to pluck up the courage to ask DP
Can I sit here too and drink your

eeeeeek Brian exciting! (do it do it!) we need to convince vivi now!

Well I nearly had a moment when thought my plan was scuppered! Dp announced they had moved some eve work from this week to next wed - was thinking of calling his boss to ask him to postpone but didn't want the risk of dp finding me out so quizzed him on details and he isn't leaving the house till 8-8.30 anyway which is after the planned event and will be in bed with ds as cosleeping so going to go ahead anyway

my plan is thus : baby group in morning, home for nap then lunch. Change ds in to'vest and dps fave outfit, might even put on some makeup, dp gets home at 4 and he makes dinner (yes he is a catch) after dinner dp runs ds' bath and undresses ds whereupon he discovers v smashing vest with proposal - I whip out cufflinks that I secreted earlier and hopefully seal the deal! Will have shloer and cake (dp loves cake) and hopefully a bowled over dF!

this is so romantic :)
*also marks place

Love your plan! Can't wait to hear your update for his reaction, am sure he'll be bowled over! :)

What a lovely plan and good luck! It's my wedding anniversary on the 29th so I think it's a fab date - I'm sure it will become the same to you!

I can't wait to find out how it goes.

Which cufflinks did you get babe?

How old is DS?

All so exciting!!

Ds is 1, I got silver cufflinks inscribed with marry me one one side and marry mummy on the other, the marry mummy has as dob on and the other has 29/02/2012 on the back .

I have already marked my place, so am just here to squeal a bit more
