Had to add to this post...
Yes I did!
It was a leap year 29th of Feb, traditionally the only day a woman can traditionally propose in the UK.
i'd introduced my fella as my 'partner' not 'boyfriend' as we'd been together eight years - guess my work colleagues may have assumed I was gay post the christmas party.
A woman at work made a joke the day before the 29th and I laughed it off, saying we couldn't even afford rings - silly idea... right?
Next day a male colleague made a similar joke and I laughed it off, but by 11 I though ***k it - yeah I will - can I take the afternoon off!
I didn't think he'd say no -and I knew he'd never ask.. no .. to be fair he knew I'd never accept unless it was under the aurora aborialis and there's no way we were affording that holiday!
It was a cheap last second, balloon and candle filled perfect evening, I also nearly killed him with the cork popping off a cheap bottle of 'fizzy wine'.
Messy, romantic, nearly lethal evening - I wouldn't want it any other way.
My expectations were so high (or parent belief inflicted) it probably never would have happened.
I love my man, I did it and he said YES!
Good luck girls!! XXXX
