  • Krystal - where is the jewellers in Walsall that do Pandora? Is it close enough if I park by Smyths?
    You can walk it, it's T H Baker on the ground floor of the saddler's centre... (And I think 1 charm would be fine... I'm sure she has family to bulk it out ;))

    What time do you think you'll be in town tomorrow? I have an order to collect from Mothercare... ;)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    :o I can't afford loads. Do you think it will look awful if I only buy her one?

    I may need other ideas ladies :o

    For DD's 21st I didn't want to give her just the bangle so I went to Warren James and got a cheaper version with a few charms, then coloured ones as well so she could change the look for a night out.
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    It will be early(ish), we are going to a birthday party at 2 and Benjamin will need a nap before that (stupid time for a party!) so probably about 10am.

    i dont think it will look awful at all and i think it's a lovely idea ..

    the charm you chose can symbolise your friendship/working relationship and i am sure that will mean a lot to her

    I would think that to get one 'Pandora' Charm though is a very special gift, I'd be extremely chuffed. X

    MFD, I think the whole point of the Pandora charms is that they should be collected, so no, I don't think they look terrible with just 1 charm, just looks like someone is going to have a lot of fun filling it. I personally, would be properly ever so excited about getting one! So much so I think I'll go price them up and start leaving post-it notes about the house

    Ah, I'll be having a driving lesson at 10:15... You'll probably be best being in Walsall seeing as I drive around Bilston ;)

    Just watching Don't tell the Bride... How selfish is that bloke!!!

    (I think I might be getting something pandora for christmas... D has been eyeing them up regularly... And he has had a couple of small jiffy bags through the post... But :shhh: don't say anything...)

    :o:o:o:( Now bearing in mind I'm shattered, and that on my '2nd' visit to a friend in need tonight once I wasn't driving I have had wine I read your earlier post as you were buying one for you, hence me saying loads. Very sorry, very stoopid, maybe I should just bog off now then?

    go and pick up a booklet from one of their stores and start circling ...

    if you dont have a store near you, i can pick you up one.

    i'm going to treat myself to another soon, just trying to decide which one
  • Pricing it up I am looking at £45 for the bracelet plus up to £40 for a charm (I think I will just go for the prettiest/the one I think she will really like) which is a lot for a leaving gift. Not that I begrudge her a penny but the baby's gotta eat ya know ;)

    :D


    Tara - that makes sense - I am buying one for my assistant who very sadly leaves me next week (not by choice on either of our parts :()
