I've done the bling thing to death. Anyway, aren't you supposed to be married to wear an eternity ring?

dunno. don't do bling personally, but having not bought her jewelry for years, took the hint when mentioned. she does not wear much, suppose this was the only thing to buy and funnily the most expensive, though strangely i was not laughing.

Isn't the "traditional" 10th anniversary gift something really odd, like rope??

Errr - okay...not sure where I dreamt that one up, LOL! It's actually Tin.

Modern one is meant to be diamond.

See, see. I knew I wasn't senile. It used to be tins of beer, not cans, didn't it?

Typical, cake and eat it too! I was under the impression women wanted the big grizzly grunty men. I don't often see them browsing at jewellery shops. The guys who are, swing by the flower stall on the way home for something to bring home to their Mum.

he said "well you aren't"
