Ha! Good for you, if the shoe fits etc......

I had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago. Been married 15 years this month, 3 kids, etc. etc. and never had an eternity ring Never the right time to spend the money, and my engagement ring is 3 diamonds in a rub-over setting so quite unusual. Don't normally see eternity rings with this setting - usually claw set. So imagine my surprise (delight) when I passed our local independent jeweller and there it was in the window - THE RING OF MY DREAMS. It has 3 x round diamonds and 6 x baguette diamonds all in a rub-over setting, and in 18ct gold like my engagement/wedding rings. I made a quick phone call to DH (landline and mobile) and he didn't pick up, so....I bought it :D:D:D That was an expensive phone call to miss :rotfl:

Oh, that is so lovely, I hope you enjoy your beautiful ring for many happy years!! It sounds GORGEOUS!! :T:D

*nervously enters room* hi all erm well iv been lurking on this thread since march and keep thinking i want to try that BUT couldnt get my head round it at all however at about 1am this morning i had a revelation that i can and should still budget for my usual weekly shop and then buy extras on top to build my stock (please correct me if im wrong) i have a teeny tiny budget of £40 per week but hopefully could put £2 into my 2nd purse each week. please can i join in (think iv got the concept sorted now)
p.s. sorry for the long post feeling slightly daft that i cant figure it out :rotfl:

Welcome lynnsey30, and good luck with your 2nd pursing! Please do ask any questions - we are a friendly bunch on here!

Latest DR order just arrived. I got 48 pork meatballs, 8 pork chops, and 16 steak burgers. These have been added to my stock.

2nd purse still in overdraft until the end of the week, when I will tot up what I owe it. NSD today as I'm gloss painting the hallway wood - picture rail, architrave, skirting. Did 5 x pannelled doors yesterday - try doing that when you have 3 x kids and a hairy cocker spaniel to contend with :rotfl:

Welcome Lynnsey20 :wave:

Its entirely up to you how you run your 'shop' if you want to use a bit of your grocery budget to help your stock out then you can or you can keep your £2 for 2nd purse money and donate the rest of the cost or you can have your 2nd purse owing your grocery budget for the multibuy if you want

Personally if you can afford it, I would just donate the multibuy to your shop and pop your £2 in your 2nd purse. Remember its your shop so its also up to you what you charge yourself when you buy them back we are so flexible here, we're like rubber
