I think I saw a ring...

[withoutapaddl]

So OH and I have 4 kids between us, youngest is 20 months and is both of ours, the other three are pre relationship. Not that the info really has any relevance to what I'm about to say 🤣

Anyway, OH was showing me orders for Christmas stuff for the kids and I am 99% certain I saw a ring on an email receipt. He absolutely is a lazy enough bugger that he'd order online as we live rural and it's a real pain trying to get to a decent enough town with 4 kids to sort.

Anyway, he went all weird, skipped off onto something else that made no sense what so ever and then made a joke about not knowing what to get me for Christmas.

And now I am 100000x going through my head like wtaf, did I really see it. It's my 30th on New Year's Day... he made a joke again this evening about it not being that special a day with a wink.

Wahhhhh what do we reckon???

Omg don't! He would as well.

Hahaaa imagine if I've misread the email and it's a *ockring. I'd not be able to stop laughing.

Ive been thinking about this and just because it was an e-receipt doesn't mean it was ordered online. Lots of shops do e-receipts now, even if you are stood in front of them.

I hope you update this thread op, hope you get the best proposal!

I’m excited for you! Watching for the update. Pre-Congratulations OP

Well either I've definitely got the wrong end of the stick or he's trying to throw me off...

I will update! And if he doesn't ask then I'll show him this thread and he will probably howl with laughter (and then take a hint)

Please do show him this . Then next year your presents can include:

Rubber ring
Ring doughnuts
Lord of the rings (books and/or films)
Copy of ring of fire song
New ringtone (do they still sell these?)
Earrings

And the pièce de la résistance...
Ringworm medication

Any update?

You're going to love it 🤣🤣🤣

He did buy a ring...

It wasn't for me....

It didn't appear on Christmas Day so I thought ooooh it's going to be for my birthday!

You ready folks, I'm still laughing. It was a fidget spinner ring for his daughter (9yo) 🤣 That he lost for wrapping up and then found two days later.

We've had a proper giggle.

Exciting, happy birthday and new year to you x

You saw a receipt for a fidget spinner and thought it was a ring?
I suppose he’s had a few days to think of a half-realistic excuse🙈

@withoutapaddl - that's was the most anticlimactic yet amazing ending 😂
I can't even 😂

Here I was excited for a romantic proposal story- but I think this is better!

Sorry you didn't get the ring!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

• please show him the thread so he gets the hint 😉

How crap for you!!

Kinda funny though sorry

Yep and as he had lost it he raised a complaint with Amazon for a non delivered parcel so he showed me. The triple diamond ring I saw is actually a fidget spinner ring for a kid 🤣 honestly I haven't stopped laughing.

He's great. I think he'll take the hint but we've found it very funny.

I feel like it's a story for the future (hopeful!) wedding speeches.

I do feel like a bit of a tit though 😆

Ahhhhh how rubbish !! But hopefully he will be able to surprise you properly out of the blue one day

I reckon judging by the title of your post, this could be a lot worse! And also…. How exciting!!! Keep us updated!

That's hilarious 😂

Marriage is about the bit after the pretty ring and nice party anyway so a shared good sense of humour should stand you in good stead then!
