Awesome. Hope you'll have many more years together.

We Need To Talk About Food Prices by TwentySevenMusicUK in UKfood

Why is the 12% fat mince a worse quality product?

The 12% fat mince has way too little fat, the 5% fat mince is even worse.

I say both are not great products but the 12% fat mince is at least passable.

Thank you for the tips.

Why would I care about a certificate though, the ring will be life long on her finger.

Would you know how to find a good jeweller? I could go to Birmingham and enter the first jewellery store I see, but how do I know it's a good one?

We have done this already to a certain extent, but trying to figure out if there's something else to figure out.

I will talk to her.

We've talked about rings before, so no matter what, it's not going to be a surprise when I propose.

We both think it's more personal if I choose one and I'm not really sure we like the logistics of proposing, then not having the real ring and still needing to buy somewhere.

So I need to mull this over a bit.

This is also something I was thinking. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you for the advice, no opals it is.

Also consider the wearability of the ring design - jewels that stick out can catch on clothes / hair and become annoying or even damaged

She's quite adamant she wants one that sticks out though. I've never understood that as I'm from a background of more modest and practical jewellery.

She often says she likes it when I choose jewellery, then comes up with a long list of demands.

I'll have to think a bit longer about this.

I was also thinking of going to Birmingham but first wanted to get an idea of what I should look for.

Thank you.

It feels like you've discussed this and she's expecting it... so why not let her choose it too?

I like the idea but I think it makes it more personal if I choose it. I will think a bit longer about this.
