Absolutely devastated, lost my beautiful engagement ring today. Wondering if somehow Mumsnet can work her magic to help me find it.

Attached pictures here.

I went to Dowe’s Gym for an hour and then went to the metro convenience store next to the Subway. Attached pictures here also.

Please please please let me find it Sad

No, two.

NoSauce · 06/08/2019 06:18

Oh is there? I’ll go and look again, I could only see one.

RLOU30 · 06/08/2019 06:34

@FenellaMaxwell

The finders little fingernail is long but where do you see that OP's is? She just has chipped light nail varnish?

FenellaMaxwell · 06/08/2019 06:38

@RLOU30 on the photo of her wearing the ring. Nobody could take nail varnish off, of course.....

NoSauce · 06/08/2019 06:40

I don’t think it’s the same hand.
Still don’t believe it mind.

RLOU30 · 06/08/2019 06:42

OPs little fingernail looks a normal length compared to the finders. There nails and hands just don't look the same- I don't think they are the same person, that's all.

RLOU30 · 06/08/2019 06:42

Their*

Vanillelle · 06/08/2019 06:48

The nails are totally different shapes on each of the hands - they clearly aren't the same hand!

Obviously could still be a ruse cooked up between two people, but I prefer to think it's just an excellent and very satisfying thread Grin

hiddeneverythin · 06/08/2019 07:23

Aw I love this x

NoWayDidISayThat · 06/08/2019 07:37

^I've seen Mumsnet do amazing things.

Anyone remember zombie? (Candy) ?
People on here can be life heroes^

Zombie was a wonderful and genuine person who is sadly missed but if you are. talking about the incident I'm thinking you are then it wasn't an 'amazing thing' she did. It was foolish and irresponsible. She was egged on by other foolish posters. I was on that thread as events unfolded- it was awful

This thread is harmless but I wish there a way to stop all troll threads. They are pathetic at best and damaging at worst.

Benjispruce · 06/08/2019 08:01

Different hands. The ring finder(hardheadedwoman) has a long nail on her little finger but the op doesn’t- she has chipped nail varnish.

Benjispruce · 06/08/2019 08:02

fennella you need sleep, you’re getting confused Confused

Goingtoexplode · 06/08/2019 08:17

@NoWayDidISayThat what did she do?

colourlessgreenidea · 06/08/2019 08:34

This has to be the quickest outcome of a thread ever on here.

Things certainly happened apace:

16:36: OP’s first post
16:39: HHW sees post and is handily en route to that precise area
16:57: HHW has found the ring

A 21-minute resolution!

OP is extremely lucky that the ring was not spotted on the doormat of the bank by someone other than a well-intentioned MN-er who knew to look for it! Phew!

colourlessgreenidea · 06/08/2019 08:39

People are really sobbing and crying?

Genuinely terrifying if true. Truly, if you’re sobbing and crying over this thread get professional help ASAP! Hmm

ArgumentativeAardvaark · 06/08/2019 08:40

It wasn’t a bank it was a grotty corner shop called Metro. Her brother would have had trouble buying a protein bar in Metro Bank!

Enclume · 06/08/2019 08:41

Jesus yes we are sobbing and crying for real. It's like a Biblical flood here.

ArgumentativeAardvaark · 06/08/2019 08:45

Shop where it was found.

MoreFrog · 06/08/2019 08:49

Not sobbing. Just showing a mild interest. They should have played a longer game. Maybe let the thread die off then revive it in a week or two. Maybe longer.

anotheryearover · 06/08/2019 08:49

Changing the subject but what happened on the zombie thread? I too am finding this one rather unbelievable.

colourlessgreenidea · 06/08/2019 08:50

It wasn’t a bank it was a grotty corner shop called Metro.

Ah, my mistake.

It’s definitely true if it was a shop and not a bank, then.

Is this real.?

jesuschristwtf · 06/08/2019 08:57

I want to know the zombie thread too! :-)

dellacucina · 06/08/2019 09:00

Yay! I believe it. This is just around the corner from me and it's so fun to imagine it all going down!
