Hiya peeps.
I loved WhyWait's comment about being a home owning wife and mum in the next few years, it's kind of 
too!!! LOL
Well I let the cat out of the bag really on the way to the holiday after talking about Mum asking if we were trying, I couldn't hide that something had started that conversation and so ended up saying to him about that as well. Anyway when we got there we walked down this one street and he said 'oh look there's a jewellers' and we looked in the window, and at the next one, and so on and so forth. We talked about it without him actually asking the question but he knew what the answer would be anyway.
Went out for a meal on the Saturday night and on the way back to the hotel we stopped on a bridge over the river, he looked at me said 'is this pretty enough for you?' then I started welling up! Then he asked me to marry him, and I said yes. :o So not a surprise when he asked, but it's not about it being a surprise, it's about the fact he actually asked me :o I am sooooper happy about it.
I'm actually getting a necklace instead of a ring, personal preference at the moment and I will have a ring when we get married, so I'm searching for sparkly necklaces, have seen a few, will prob be a solitaire diamond on white gold chain.
We still have loads of people to tell, and so until we have told the specific people we want to tell we won't be changing our relationship status on Facebook to engaged(much as I am desperate to), we really don't want close friends finding out third hand or from the internet, if you know what I mean, but it's great to talk about it in here openly.
Really busy week this week with work etc, so not really chance to catch up with everything that's been happening, hopefully I will get some chance to check in on Friday.
