Bigonesmallone3 · 17/12/2018 05:14

227 messages is and we have our first bitchy comment 🙄

Bluesheep8 · 17/12/2018 05:36

Wow. Is there really any need to be nasty? Shock

Neverunderfed · 17/12/2018 07:23

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire wtf is that all about?

stripedcushion · 17/12/2018 07:31

2.09ct diamond in a platinum setting. I feel bad saying this but I don't like it- I feel it's too big and showy. Thinking of having the diamond reset as a pendant or something else.

Snapsnapsnap · 17/12/2018 07:44

Well it's big enough to be a pendant striped! Could you not get a wee diamond band and keep it for when you need to bring out the big guns?

twosoups1972 · 17/12/2018 07:48

It’s beautiful stripedcushion wear it and enjoy it.

WhatelsecouldIbecalled · 17/12/2018 07:57

Ha! I posted on another thread about Xmas nails 🙄. Not sure it was meant as a bitchy comment but if it was hope my awful nails haven’t ruined your Christmas 😂

Actually taken nail varnish off now as not allowed it for work as in this photo but had painted them for works do. 🤷‍♀️

WhatelsecouldIbecalled · 17/12/2018 07:59

Less offensive version?! 😂

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 17/12/2018 08:53

Whatelsecouldibecalled..your nails werent offensive. I read your comment first then read the others saying I was bitchy Blush

I havent been bitchy on here and didnt mean to sound like it guess thats the danger. Obviously nobody else knew about my christmas nail thread! The poster posted without nailvarnish on her but I saw her post showing her nails first.

They're lovely anyway shame youve had to take them off.

And if anyone saw my nails you would knoe I couldnt say anything about anyone else.

Sorry if i caused offence. None meant

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 17/12/2018 08:55

Stripedcuahion that's just beautiful enjoy it. Instead of a pendant could you get a smaller ring for every day and wear that one on special occassions.
.it is a beauty though x

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 17/12/2018 08:56

Sorry for all my typos/posts.

Not very good at typing on phone and I dont have access to my PC st the moment

CurlsandCurves · 17/12/2018 09:08

The realhousewifeofcheshire so what was the ‘ they look like they came from a lovely catalogue’ comment up thread all about?

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 17/12/2018 09:14

Just thought they looked really nice/professionally shot pics. Not bitchy at all genuinely think those rings and all the rings are gorgeous its a shame people automaically assume people are being mean

You will see from my other comments ive loved this thread wouldn't dream of being mean

I realise the nail comment was misplaced i should have linked to the thread maybe.

CurlsandCurves · 17/12/2018 09:24

Ok, it did come across as bitchy when I read it in my head.

Bu that’s the trouble with the written word, not always clear what sentiment is behind them sometimes. Apologies.

umpteennamechanges · 17/12/2018 09:31

Mine...pic taken while in the airport waiting to fly to NYC this morning Grin

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 17/12/2018 09:42

Thanks for understanding curls it is hard when writing on internet and people donr know you. I was shocked people thought that but then people dont know me and cant read it how it comes across in your own head.

I love this thread. I go in the bath to read it usually. Hence my own pic but i liked time to look properly and if people say they like a specific ring i go back and see who likes what. I love all the stories too

Holidayshopping · 17/12/2018 09:57

@TheRealHousewifeofCheshire your comment makes much more sense now! I didn’t think it sounded bitchy-I assumed there was more to it!

Neverunderfed · 17/12/2018 10:38

Ahhhhh, gotcha! That makes sense. :-)

SlowNorris · 17/12/2018 10:51

Does anyone have advice on how to clean a diamond and sapphire ring at home?

I’m sick of putting it in to be cleaned and irrationally worrying it won’t come back Xmas Grin

Seashell80 · 17/12/2018 11:03

Sapphire and diamond chosen by DH ( May have dropped a few hints!) never take them off 💍

My only request to OH was not silver. He did perfectly, and bought the matching wedding ring (ready for July!) which is something I would fuss over. He proposed in Italy at night by the lake with a violinist playing in the background. He's a keeper. BlushGrinGrin

I have looked through them all now and my faves are mooey, 'theresacat', 'idealist', 'writersblock' and 'loobylou' :)
