I'm fairly sure my engagement ring has been delivered in the post today... it's an unbranded box but it's got a postal label on it with "antique diamond ring" and some value details on it.

DP was doing the gardening so I signed for it and have put it in the hallway as I normally would. He doesn't seem to have noticed the label. Do I say something?

(I'm fairly sure it's for me Grin)

Why would you even ask that question? Dont spoil the mans thunder for gods sake.

When I retired OH bought me a steamer chair which he managed to conceal behind a load of junk in the garage. Unfortunately I needed to look for something and saw it, even though it was really well hidden. He still doesn't know that I'd seen it, almost 15 years later.

To all those wittering on about bookmarks. Yes, I hover. Yes, the bookmark thing comes up and I can click on it. All well and good.

But it doesn't work when I try and re-visit the thread. I can't get back to where I bookmarked.

alife the op has updated since then.

I think an MNer needs to tell him to get a move on! Grin

DownstairsMixUp · 15/05/2019 18:53

I'm so excited! 😂

SummerRays · 15/05/2019 18:56

Keep your head. It could be something else. Also if it does turn out to be an engagement ring, he will have a plan. so don't get involved just let him know that a package arrived for him.

Mummyontherocks · 15/05/2019 18:57

Awwww he must be so nervous, hope he doesn't keep you waiting long, xx

Dahlietta · 15/05/2019 18:58

What the hell is a steamer chair? Yes, I know I could Google, but I'm choosing to let my mind boggle for a bit.

CodenameVillanelle · 15/05/2019 18:58

Aaaahhh I thought there must be an update!

TheBigFatMermaid · 15/05/2019 18:58

Nearly the middle of May.....

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 15/05/2019 19:04

i've had three rubbish proposals, but one pretty decent marriage

hope you're having a good time OP

and definitely not placemarking Wink

TanMateix · 15/05/2019 19:06

Oh! I want to know! Place marking, I’m sure it will take a little while for him to find the perfect place, time & position of the sun to do it Smile

smartcarnotsosmartdriver · 15/05/2019 19:07

What a lovely thread! My proposal wasn't particularly romantic but we're very happily married so I can live with it.

Somersetlady · 15/05/2019 19:07

How long’s the holiday Op?

kenandbarbie · 15/05/2019 19:10

How cute! Let's hope it's just as magical as you're expecting!

VampireSlayer19 · 15/05/2019 19:54

Exciting

SausageSimon · 15/05/2019 19:55

I was hoping there'd have been an update when I got to the end! Grin

SunshineCake · 15/05/2019 20:00

Me too SausageSimonGrin. I was feeling all smug at only seeing this thread for the first time and being able to read the whole thing in one go Grin.

BentBaastard · 15/05/2019 20:07
