Me bogey insurance has jumped up 30% this year. Spoke to them on the phone and got it reduced. Still up 15% though - but I saved enough for some more Chivas Regal
Not quite. E's got the top and bottom, the bit in the middle is missing

Hello folks!
Quiet day today.
But brill news.
Yessdi W spotted a diamond had fallen out of one of her rings, a tiny little "illusion cut" thing so we turned to and searched all around where she had pulled them, (there were three other rings) off her fingers and put them on a side table.
No findee.
Then upstairs to where she had first tried to pull them off but couldn't due to her fingers swelling towards the end of the day, again, no findee.
So W very distressed, although it was only money, not sentiment.
After she had gone to bed I calmly had a good search all around where she thought it might have gone, no luck neither.
Then about an hour ago she happened to move her hand along the arm of her chair, a leather one with a seam on the outer edge and felt something.
Yowzaa! the diamond. It had lodged in the seam.
And this is a chair that I had tipped to one side to be able to roll it out of place and back again, twice, on its circular ballbearing based thing that allows it to turn when you are in it.
How does this sort of thing happen?
I think it might have been because she has a swing out table thing attached to that side which meant neither of us would have put our hands into just the right place to either find it or dislodge it.
So she is happy at not being £50 to the bad!
We were both sure it had gone for good.
So that was the best thing that happened today in an otherwise rather boring day! (paperwork etc.)
£50? It would cost more than that for a jeweler to do the work, a replacement stone would be on top of that. My daughter lost a saffire from a ring I bought her. I couldnt find a similar size saffire so I took the ring to a local jeweler with a diamond I had. It cost £120 just for the stone to be mounted 2 years ago.Hello folks!

You are right although I have to say she goes to the jewellery quarter in Birmingham as she was born and brought up in that town, and she always seems to get good deals, on repairs, resizing and modification or transformations like broochs into pendants or rings into pendants, etc. When I can I fix her jewellery issues. She gets quite a few as she loves to go to the local auction and buy and sell stuff. It's her only vice really and it odesn't cost her that much as she has very slim fingers so she buys stuff no one else wants. But some stuff is beyond me, it is blessed fiddly.£50?
