Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
It never rains but it pours as they say. My Dad wanted me and my sister to go through my Mum's clothes last Sunday personally I thought this was far too soon but naturally I did as he requested although I suspect my sister was the driving force behind this, anyway I realised mid week that my engagement ring was missing and I'm both very upset and kicking myself as due to weight loss because of my illness my engagement was too big and my hubby kept saying let's get that resized doll and guess what I never got round to it.
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. |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Weenie, you are really have a bad time, Did you ask the Charity shop to check for you, I hope it turns up for you, I am not sure about insurances but when my engagement ring was stolen from my house along with other jewellery in a break in, The insurance asked the year it was bought and what we paid for it and they valued it from that,
I will be thinking of you and your Dad and family tomorrow , take Care Hugs |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
I agree with Nash, I had to claim for a lost ring and the insurance claim was relatively simple. I was able to let them have a photo of the ring and they worked out the replacement value in a similar way. I think it helped that we had only made one previous claim and had been with them for over 15 years at the time.
I shall also be thinking of you tomorrow sweetie. Jo. |

@ nash I have asked my Dad to ask my sister what charity shop she used.
@ Jo we have only been with Direct Line for 7 years and although they dealt with our legal expenses we remain claim free. My ring was quite unusual due to being two tone, it was a half carat twist solitaire in two tone 18ct gold the base was yellow gold and the top of the ring was white gold many people thought my ring was all white gold. I have looked on line and have came across nothing that resembles my ring. The closest I have came across is this but my ring cost hubby £850.00 many many years ago no where near this price. https://www.fraserhart.co.uk/18ct-wh...aire-ring.html Image this ring being half yellow gold at the bottom and this is my ring. Thanks Jo and nash to be honest I'm absolutely dreading tomorrow. |

@ nash & Jo, looking through my phone I found these pictures of my lost engagement ring and to think I took these pictures to show my friend via text message the state of my nails. I hope this will help the insurance company should I claim as I am still undecided at what to do. If you look closely you will see the ring is both yellow and white gold. I'm still hopeful that my engagement turns up.
Why is these pictures showing today's date :confused: |

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
After putting a claim in yesterday I'm pleased to say that this morning the claim was cancelled as my wonderful husband found it in my jewelry box I swear we had looked here at least 5 times. I'm just so pleased that my beautiful engagement ring has been found and the claim cancelled, I know this may sound strange but my left hand feels complete again. 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. |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
That is fantastic news weenie.:tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
This is brilliant news Weenie, you have had so much on your mind lately and just forgot where you put it, You deserve this good news, So happy for you
|
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
I am so happy for you weenie.
I can now admit that I have spent several hours scouring the net for ring like yours hoping that I could in some way help you to come to terms with losing the ring that meant so much to you. I have found more preloved rings than I ever dreamed existed but never found one that matched yours. Jo. |
Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Glad you found it weenie. A replacement could never have the same emotional value as the original.

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.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
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! |

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
I'm scared. My Nan begged me to call 999, she wants to be in hospital because she feels safer there than at home. She thinks she only has days to live, I am trying to remain optimistic but I am struggling like crazy to be optimistic with her attitude. When she had the breast cancer, she was determined to fight it. This time, it's like she has accepted she will die imminently from the brain lesions. I feel so alone, and scared.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Oh Mark just remember that your Nan is very scared as she is at the moment facing what must seem another battle. It may seem that your Nan has given up but no one really knows how one feels or is dealing with their current situation. Mark all you can do is be strong for your Nan be there for her, be brave for her, be a ear for her, a shoulder to place her head in times of trouble and most important be strong for her by doing this for your Nan believe it or not you will be helping more than you ever know as been there done that and at times after dropping my Mum home after yet another hospital appointment I used drive around the corner pull up and cry my eyes out but never once did I show this stress or upset to my Mum as I wanted to be her rock and I have no regrets in doing this although it was extremely hard at times especially when I was asked how I was coping I simply replied I'm fine while inside I was crumbling.
Do you want to know something I would do it all over again in a heartbeat for my MUM and give my eye teeth for just one more minute with her and hear her voice. If you need to talk do not hesitate in sending me a pm but I won't lie Mark it is hard but you will be the Grandson I know you are and you do have the strength within you to cope my friend. |

She didn't go to hospital in the end, I think it was just a panic attack. I came so close to calling my manager last night, I know we've had differences but for some reason I just really wanted to hear her voice last night. I resisted though. Ugh. I know she's scared, I am too. I have cried so many times at work over this.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
My hubby is really annoyed at me I called my Dad to see how he was doing as he never calls me any more unless he wants me to do something so I decided to call him and the first thing he asked if my hubby was home and I said no he's over at his mates. In the very next breathe he said that my sister is complaining about doing his washing and that he had no intention of doing his own washing and guess what I said don't worry Dad I will do if needed, now I'm just so annoyed with myself as hubby is really annoyed.
I asked hubby if he thinks my sister knew I would offer and he replied of course they both knew as honestly you are the most selfless person I know and your Dad and sister take advantage of that. I'm just so annoyed as all weekend I have been saying and promising my family that things have changed and I will not be doing A,B & C well I have landed myself in it by offering to do my Dad's washing. My sister who is complaining about the washing only washes it then takes it back to our Dad's still wet, whereas I wash, dry and iron it for him so I know my Dad prefers me doing it, my eldest has said Mum you need to that just wash it and take it back wet just say that your too busy to dry and iron it as you have a family of 4 and even my Aunt could not do this and there is only the two of them. What was I supposed to do talk about being between a rock and a hard place, should I have allowed my Dad who does not want to wash his clothes, bedding etc and has now got rid of his washing machine get on with it or do I annoy my family who think I'm being taken for granted. I just could not have allowed my Dad to get stressed over something so trivial that I can do so easily, I really do not see the big issue here so what if my sister & Dad do not want to do the washing like I say I can do it quite easily but hubby and eldest son thinks I'm being taking for a mug, they just keep saying you really can't see it can you but I keep thinking they can't see it from my view point do they really expect me to allow my Dad to do something that he has no intentions nor wants to do. |

Suffering. So many people I love or care about are suffering with different things right now, and I feel so damn helpless seeing them suffer, as there is either nothing I can do or they don't want help in any form.

I have experienced family who did not any help or to talk about things only for them to eventually want my support 24/7 which was ok with myself as I just let them go at their own pace. Mark you know of my situation and I have brutally honest it is not easy. I have said that I used to say my Good byes in the best cheery voice that I could manage then pull my car up just round the corner out of sight and cry like a baby as I knew if I showed any form of upset then everything would go back to the I'm fine attitude we have also discussed this and it is my view this is a generation thing stiff upper lip and all that. Mark honestly the family member's who do not help will do eventually maybe they are just coming to terms with what is going on and just ready yet. In regards to your Nan you will feel helpless (because your also angry,scared and hurt) but I know your doing everything possible for your Nan and that is what makes you the fine young man and caring Grandson you are Mark. You know where I am Mark should things get too heavy or you just need to rant, I may not be on much but I do check my emails daily so I will get back to you as soon as I see your PM. Mark if your family mention medical worries that you can not answer jot them down on a piece of paper and you can either ask at the next hospital appointment or you can make a appointment with your GP, I did this Mark and I made the decision to tell my findings depending on the answer example when I found out that my Mum was getting tested for Motor Neuron Disease I decided not to say anything and I'm so glad I did as my Mum never had that but what my Mum did have was a tumor at the base of her skull again I discussed this with the hospital and it was agreed not to let my Mother know of this and she never asked for the results of the scan and neither did my Father, Mark this was one of the hardest thing's I have had to do. Take care Mark and remember I think you should be proud of yourself. |

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Mixed news today. They are going to arrange radiotherapy to start ASAP so they can reduce the steroids, because the steroids are causing the weakness and lethargy. The oncologist then told me alone that even with radiotherapy, the likely time frame she has left is 3 to 12 months. It knocked me for 6, and then I find out that my mum knew on Wednesday afternoon but didn't tell me. I had to find out today on my own. I am so low right now.

Phoned VM retensions got through to India (Ugh) tried to haggle a better deal... I said I paid £61.50 for (L) TV; 150Mb Broadband; Evening/Weekends free calls (does anybody think this is a good deal). So she offered me BT Sports and some other channels for £73.00 up £11.50. Talk about bloody useless. I wanted a better deal for the same amount of money not £11.50 more. I told her I wanted better TV programs.
She then sent me an e-mail listing of what I already have.... What the hell. Seriously considering going to Sky (much to my hesitance). |

Mark posting on my phone so hopefully it will upload. Mark just concentrate on your Nan atm try and not let your Mum bother you I know it is hard when you have a relative that screams me me me but on occasions like this your Mum and her views really are not the most important matter nor person here. You and I both know it's your Nan so you just carry on being you and caring for your Nan.
