Only just off out soon but not sure where to go or for what :eek:
Too many possibilities
and yes you and your mam need cheering up not people sitting round glum I know it is hard but people have to act happy even though they dont feel it. Plenty of time to be sad when they leave the room

Hi all.................may I come in please x0

hope all are well and hugs to anyone needing them.
hope you've all been getting loads of bargains and huge stashes0 -
My mum did the same thing a few years ago. She sold her Mums engagement ring after she was told it was worth several hundred pounds :eek: She didn't need the money for anything in particular but said she'd rather use it to enjoy herself rather than the ring just sitting in a box.
I've still got a ring of my Grandma's. It's not worth as much as the one Mum had but if i'm honest, it does just sit in a box.... Can definitely see Mum's point
My Nan gave me her wedding ring before she died and I swore to her I'd use it as my wedding ring too.
My Mum always called it my Nans curtain ring(it's just a basic round plain gold ring that Mum says used to have a pattern on it and it wore off)
I got married and followed through on my promise and it sits proudly on my finger (a bit tight but it's there) and even when money gets tight I don't think I could ever bring myself to get rid of it for the few pounds I'd get for it's weight - it's value is neglibile over it's 60+ year age (unknown because the hallmarks almost worn off).
I think I posted a while back my Nan would have loved you guys and this thead, I guess some of how they lived rubs off on us with our bargain sniffing, I know my Nan would have adored doing the whole APG thing to keep her mind active if she was still here (she hated wasting anything, I still remember her wrapping in a serviette some cold sausages at a restaurant because I wasn't going to eat them)
Sorry for wittering, your posts just made me remember silly things and made me smileHistoric Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55
