I just have this underlying gut feeling that my engagement has fell off into one of the bags that were either taken to the charity shop or dump :( and to be honest I'm dreading making a claim as I have no receipt as the ring was bought over 30 years ago plus the insurance card that came with my engagement ring has since been lost due to moving house 3 times but I do have pictures of it sadly the jewelers that we bought it from has since closed down.

I was wondering can anyone advice on claiming is it really worth the hassle as I just cannot be bothered as I have my Mum's funeral tomorrow. I'm finding everyday life extremely hard at the moment and I feel this is a hassle that I could without tbh and anyway the ring might turn up I just do not know what to do. Hubby thinks the ring is lost as we have checked everywhere and we should make a claim sooner rather than later but the way I look at it is we have the money to buy a replacement if needed so why be hassled with making a claim.

Sorry to hear this weenie but I lost my wedding ring in similar circumstances and later, after a load of panicking, found that it had fallen off in my bum bag when I'd put something in there. Before you do anything else just think about checking the other places you'd have been, jacket pockets, car, under the bed, sofa, kitchen draws, handbags, dirty linen basket etc etc. There's loads of places it could have come off. I even heard about a guy recently who'd found a ring having lost it years ago - it'd come off in a pair of gloves he used to wear and when he put them on there it was.

I hope you find it weenie and have a good feeling that you will. :hugs:

The engagement ring is going straight to the jewellers tomorrow to be resized.

I had put the engagement ring in one of the drawers where I keep the most precious things to me like my son's baby hospital bands etc.


Good news, really pleased for you :tu:

Computer threw a wobbly on boot this morning: a GREEN screen of death from Windows and suggested a reboot if this was the first time I'd seen it.

It rebooted with no problems except asking the normal "start windows normally" Seems to be running OK.

You do of course know the difference between an Engineer and a layperson?

Spoiler: 
The Engineer knows where to hit it.:D

So true, the less mature just throw it across the room, then next stage is the kick and as you become fully enlightened a thump of just the correct weight and location.

Tax credit overpayment!!! More than seven years ago but they finally caught up with me, still it's all paid off now.

Well it is all fiendishly confusing isn't it. No wonder mistakes are made.

Only tried to claim this once when it first came out only to be told a big fat NO, so never bothered again. Yet I have a friend who let just say is better off than us that received this benefit but I suspect her and her hubby never declared their actual earnings as he was self employed.

I know this is bad but the more I'm experiencing my Dad and sister the more I dislike them as human beings as they really are not very nice people in where family means nothing, honestly they do not have a family bone in their body peas in a pod that is what they are.

The two of them deserve each other with their weird idea's. My Dad promised me something only to be told that he and my sister had discussed this matter and guess what he has changed his mind it was nothing of value just yet another broken promise.

I will no longer be taking an active part in his life example hospital appointments, paying his bills etc I will still help out sometimes just not as much he can ask my sister and all I'm saying good luck with that as he will need it trust me.

I need to keep my distance to safe guard myself from further hurt and confusion, Weenie is no longer a doormat for them to wipe their feet on.

I'M DONE!
