This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

My most expensive mistake to date.
Well I say mistake I mean blessing, It was a surprize but a brill one.

I'll set the scene , I am in love with a wonderful girl (oh er) , and I wanted to marry her(oh er), so I asked her father before asking her, I have a old fashioned way of thinking. He said "yes but if you hurt her your a dead man", With this still rining in my ears I set off to my sisters house to tell her (big mistake here) , my sister works the beeb and has a rather large mouth (no sick jokes please , shes a loud girl , tells people secrets), she told my mother who in then tuened told half of centeral london , who in then put it as a group on facebook... (you can see where this is going)

So I decided to take my girlfriend on a trip to cambridge, we met there as undergraduates, I took her punting , and we had a lovely meal and by the river where I first kissed her I asked her to marry me. She said yes but she already knew and I had to look on my facebook. It infact turned out that she was going to ask me to marry her, and she was taking me to New york to do it, So I was up a new wife to be and a trip to ny. Wayhey you might think. 2 weeks later she told me she has missed a peroid, she was infact pregnant by 2 weeks, um yes I had go her pregnant on holiday. cost of holiday= nothing

new wife and baby = priceless
mistake of telling my sister = well a amazing blessing.

Not all mistakes are bad thing you know!
