    And you have proof from the jewellers that the ring is real, genuine and you know it's worth

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    honestly no I didn't. It wasn't a postal type envelope, it was more of a large jewellery pouch thing. So I just grabbed the watch out and chucked the thing away. I didn't expect a ring to be in the bottom of it. But yes, I should have checked.

    I see what you mean though, it's putting me right off contacting the insurance at all because it looks as if I'm trying to pull a fast one.

    I think there's a chance the jewellers pulled a fast one - why would they not put it in the box? That's mad!

    Agreed, if you took it into them in a box it should be returned to you in exactly the same way!

    I was also offered the opportunity to start a business today making and selling jams, chutneys etc (I thought the etc could be baby food) with all the equipment and stock bought for me and I do the making, selling, marketing and then a straight split in the profits.

    Nice thought but I think the market is already flooded.
