I just made my biggest investment
For the past few months now I’ve been slowly increasing my cash in bank holdings in anticipation of a large investment to come.
Back in August it was my partner and I’s 5th year anniversary of boyfriend & girlfriend. We first got together just over 5 years after my 18th birthday and so I set about calculating the date at which I’d begin to have spent the majority of my adult life with her. That date was 14/11/2015.
And so on a freezing cold and very wet Saturday morning, I managed to convince her to join me in a hike along the Thames Path and up the steepest hill in the county:
At the very top, once she had caught her breath and finished complaining about being marched up a ridiculously steep hill, I asked her to marry me.
I’m delighted to announce that she said yes and we now begin the next stage of our lives together.

Congratulations! :-)
Thanks Weenie :)
Good luck
I would suggest having a very detailed discussion about financial goals before the wedding
Thanks Neverland,
We have regular ongoing discussions about finances and we’ve both got pretty similar goals so I’m sure it’ll all be fine.
Woohoo congrats! The ring looks like a similar design as the the one I picked out for Mrs. T.
Good taste, clearly ;)
Congratulations! I wish you both all the best for the future together :)
