    Good morning all, gloriously sunny day here and two loads of washing on the line :D

    Started putting my washing up water on the garden, still no substantial rain :(



    How do fridge shelves disappear, weird! Although, that said, we were at a client's and OH was carrying a load of kit literally 10 ft across the floor including two screws, when he got there he only had one screw, it had totally disappeared, was nowhere to be seen! So things do disappear into thin air :eek:

    Happy birthday Emerald :bdaycake::bdaycake:

    I would find a picture of an emerald but I prefer Tsarovite myself, came back from Kenya with a tsarovite and diamond ring, it is a beautiful stone.

    Morganite for me, haven't got one yet but we have a wiser in the window with my name on it :rotfl:

    I can't see why people go mad over normal diamonds, yes they sparkle, but they are technically only semi-precious and very common. I have this unfortunate habit of coming back from holiday with a different coloured stone, either on it's own or mounted, it is a rather expensive thing to do, but then I don't smoke or drink so it is probably cheaper than those combined, that's my excuse anyway:rotfl::rotfl:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    We lost the handle to our grill pan when we moved. Found it about 10 years later!!!!

    Morning Everyone :)

    I'm the opposite, I love the pure sparkle of diamonds and wouldn't think of getting a coloured stone, I find them dull in comparison.

    Luckily we are all different!

    Don't blame you, have a look at morganite next time you're away. ......unlike you am quite fond of diamonds. We got an emerald cut ring in last Thursday, an absolute stonker, it sold on Saturday! If only all the stock went that quick :rotfl:
