Just got home
May be slightly inebriated, as everybody came into the pub to see my ring (it's being resized *sob*)and buy me congratulatory drinks. People are so nice.
I didn't say thanks to all you lot for the lovely messages on Friday night, but I was too shocked and pissed and busy taking phonecalls from my dad where he played songs containing my name down the phone.
It's sunk in now. My grandad's still dead and I'm still determined to leave Facebook, but other than that I'm floating on air.

I always find that a female's ring gets resized whenever they see a DG post.

I suspect you're right.
There's another trip to Hatton Garden *tut*
*resizes*

my friend went to hatton garden to choose their ring
got caught up in an armed raid and had to be locked in the shop for safety. i think i'd take that as an omen. meanwhile the only other customer in the shop was the one who had run in, panicking and screaming about the raid.

yeah, the one who had left HIS fiancee in the street with the gunmen on bikes... i'd take that as an omen too...

Well all I found was a very friendly Benjie-type dog called Archie
and a nice lady called Miriam who gave me a plastic ring as consolation for the temporary separation while mine is made smaller (my baby-fingers have next-to-no knuckles apparently).

I like my omens better.

yes, yours are positive
and do not make me think you should run screaming into the next county!

Not unless I am allergic to dog tongue

unlikely, i think you should be fine!

( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 16 Nov 2010, 1:07, Reply)

I get to see Archie again on Saturday
Even if they have accidentally turned my ring into a hat pin, I shall be happy at seeing Archie.
And Miriam's pretty fit too...

i think you should try and steal him
mind you, my friend is thinking of calling her baby archie. i hope i have dissuaded her...

I have a colleague with an Archie child
He kind of suits it. Not as much as Archie the dog suits it. He has grey whiskers because he is a distinguished older gent.

this is my point
it is a dog's name. or it is archibald, and it is an old giffer's name!

If you have problems with that.
Let me know. I might have some ointment that'll help.

The things you people do since they canned Brookside!
Anyway, whilst I replied to the general congratulations threads, can I add a personal congratulations to you and DJ.

I don't know you, I'll never meet you but congratulations all the same.

I'd use the words 'made up, boss' but that would look like I was taking the piss.

It's ok, the future sister-in-law called me boss too
I like the affectionate regional ribbing.
It's not to say we'll never meet either. There's only one ring on my wedding finger ;)
I jest. Cheers dude. How's sheeit with you?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 16 Nov 2010, 0:56, Reply)

Interesting at the minute.
Well, interesting to me, not interesting to tell the Internet about.

The next couple of week will be crucial.

Oh come on Jeff
you can't tease us like that.
What's going on?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 16 Nov 2010, 1:03, Reply)

Hardly a tease
I jacked my job in a short while ago and I'm trying to relocate, I've got a few sniffs, but nothing in place yet.

I'm running out of money (and time) and I'm hoping the conversations I've had will lead to something!

Of course they will

It's making everyone else believe, that's the problem.
