What does this MEAN???

[colditz]

I was discussing my Bf's marriage status with him about 6 months ago, saying that ideally I'd like him to get divorced as soon as he can afford it. (he is still, technically, married)

he said "Well, yes, obviously, but I'm not buyng you an engagement ring anyway" (I have always said I detest diamond solitaires, not colourful enough)

So I said "I don't want a bloody engagement ring anyway!"

"What do you want then?"

"I want a panda. A real one, but very very small, so I can put it on a clip and wear it in my hair!"

The tone was verrrry light hearted and conversation soon deteriorated into how one would stop the panda pooing in your hair etc...

ANYWAY

Yesterday, he told me to hold my hand out. I assumed that this would be a handful of receipts (as it normally is) and refused. He was VERY insistant that it wasn't rubbish this time, he promised etc ... and...

it was this

Sorry but I had to bump this lovely thread, any news on the meaning of the panda, colditz?

Bump again, C'mon Colditz, dying to know

Well?? Come on!! Need to know

BUMP BUMP BUMP

And again!

BUMP!

He sounds ADORABLE (bf & panda)

I would take it as a signal of clear intent, rather than a proposal per se. A way of saying I can't/am not proposing yet (obviously, the distinction between those two is somewhat vital...) but we have An Agreement.

I think

Tis very ro-man-tique

I Am Engaged.

Oh, sweetie, I'm not usually a goer on marriage but I am bloody over the moon for you

Will you wear joint panda suits to the altar?????

Congratulations, colditz!!!

No, no panda suits. We have a theme of Mass Murderers Through The Ages. I intent to 'be' Catherine The Great.

And thank you for all your congratualtions.

I wondered what had happened to the panda thread! So happy for you

Congratulations!! Just read the entire thread

Congratulations! (have you got a ring now as well??)

Congratulations, Colditz!

Do you still have the original panda?

Ring - check. Opal and emerald (i don't like diamonds)

I don't know how divorces work but SOMEthing is going on, something arrived.

I still have the panda.

Congratulations!

did you ever ask if it was an engagement panda?

Is it a diamond in the shape of a panda, ring? Oh and congratulations!
