that my son proposed to his gf Natalie today in a little park in the city, and she said Yes!!!!



I knew this was on the cards but didn't know when it would be happening. I have to admit I shed a tear or two when he rang to tell me. They have been together for over 3 years now and Natalie moved in with my son last September with her little boy who is now 6. (For those who remember the problems at the time, he is now doing really well at his new school and coping well with the pump he has on his leg for the insulin, with the help of the school and his family.)

The ring is platinum with a single diamond but has to be made smaller as Natalie has such tiny fingers.

I am sure they will continue to be very happy together, they get on so well, trust each other so that each can take time out with their friends with no suspicion or jealousy, and have a wide circle of supportive friends

Shall I get my knitting needles out, do you think lol?

Thanks all, I do have a rather nice hat I haven't worn yet, but will have to wait and see what sort of wedding it is, they haven't really mentioned that far ahead yet and don't have a lot of spare cash around as my son has only been back in work since last November. He has to wait another few months to know if this job is permanent, altho his appraisals each month have been good so hope the Council are happy with him and keep him on.

Also they will need a larger place if they decide to increase their family as the flat is small now they have had to make a bedroom for the little lad out of part of the lounge.

A nice lottery win would help right now, altho I have been lucky again recently, had two or three £25 wins over the past two months and one or two smaller amounts, got £5.80 yesterday - nothing tonight tho.

I haven't yet met Natalie's Mum or Grandparents yet, she knows me and her Gran will get on well as apparently we are similar, both talk for England lol, and are close to the same age. We will be getting together soon, I already know her younger brother well and he is a nice lad, always chats if I see him at a local supermarket where he works part time while studying.

I am very happy that my lad is with someone I get on with, and really pleased that he feels secure and comfortable about his choice of partner for the long term future (fingers crossed)

I was out yesterday at the coast and felt a sort of pressure on my back, a seagull had dumped on me so that should mean good luck all round lol Made a right mess of my cardigan but better that than had it been a bit earlier, when I was wearing a top with a lowish back - urgh!
