Yesterday evening, I got in from school to the news that Rob had bought me a present. He pushed me in the direction of the kitchen and produced a polystyrene box from the fridge. After a brief moment or two (in which I did tea in the House) I then opened the box to discover two large fillets of fish. I know that we buy silly presents for each other, but the fish seemed quite practical - at least it was a present that I could eat. The conversation went something like this:
Me: A fish. How lovely.
Rob: I know. It's a Ling.
Me: Oooh. A Ling. That's very exciting.
Rob: It's a special Ling.
Me: Really?
Rob: I thought it might be an engagement Ling.
Me: An engagement Ling?! [at this point I start to cry and forget to say yes]
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is honestly how it happened. He's nothing if not romantic.

Fab, Congratulations
Congratulations Mad, Aims told me, it's fantastic news. Please whatever you do, don't ask the school choir to sing in the register signing, one of my teacher friends did that and they sang "When I get older loosing my hair"! It was very funny, but a little cheesy!
Well, it couldn't have happened to 2 nicer people!! Been a real trend this year! Congratulations!
Congratulations! :-)
All sounds very fishy to me.
Don't do it! That is always my advice. And don't say I didn't warn you. That sort of thing leads to the spread of nasty genetic material.
All the same... congratulations.
congrats -
