Not AIBU but using the busy traffic!

I've just done the thing I didn't think possible and washed my engagement ring down the plug home. How the hell do I get it back? I've just undone what I assume is the u bend (?!) and it's not in there. DH works away so can't help and I don't want to tell him unless I need to. It's gone isn't it?? Is there anything else I can do?

Find the outlet to the drain, put a pair of tights securely over it, and a sieve in the hole too ... then run the water. Thats the only way you'll flush it out, if it hasn't gone that far.

I feel for you. Its an irreplaceable thing.

Was about to get on my high horse and do a Trills report for being in the wrong place but I haven't the heart, you poor thing.

No advice but I really hope you find it.

Anyway it has caught between the plug and U-bend? Can you unscrew the plug bit to have a look?

[numbum]

OMG I love you lot!! I did what jumping said and then saw randoms message so undid the u-bend again and unscrewed the plug hole bit. Thank god I tip fat down the plug hole is all I can say

One engagement ring found!!

Hurrah ! A thread with a beginning and a happy end!

[McHappyPants2012]

:) so happy for you

[numbum]

I'm so happy! random is my heroine! I can't stop smiling. I was sobbing when I dropped it and knew DH would be gutted too. Have told him what happened and he said 'I would have told you to give up looking, those women know more than me'

[Floggingmolly]

Wow, you were lucky! Glad it had a happy ending

[Bobyan]

Aww, at last a post that has a happy ending and doesn't involve the DH shagging around, rabid inlaws and shouts of 'leave the bastard'.
