You guys are the biggest bunch of sweethearts - all your lovely messages have helped keep me buzzing since Saturday night.

Iluvcatats: If you do visit Australia (or emigrate!!!), you MUST visit Seal Rocks - It really is wild, unspoilt beauty - the true Australia. Beautiful!

Bliss: Thanks for the bold, caps message! I was hoping for one of those reactions.... hehehehe. Although not HUGE next to your beauty, but the halo works wonders for my 7.5 fingers!!

Crooked Rock & Wishful: I''m glad I went for the surprise diamond - it''s amazing how much of the side view you see while wearing it... it really finishes it off.

Everyone: THANK YOU DARLINGS! xxxxx It''s a pleasure chatting with you all in LIW - you kept me sane and lightened my spirits during my ''wait''! I can''t wait to return the warm wishes to you all on YOUR engagements!
