Ladies, please forgive me for this. I am so sorry, but I have just read this thread and I've been laughing out loud, it reads so hilariously. I know that it could have turned out to be a really bad problem, but, since it was sorted without too much trauma, except perhaps for Pat, sorry, Meesh - I hope you don't mind me giggling like a mad thing at the sheer surrealism of your posts. I don't usually venture into the Jewellery section of the forum, but I think I may pop on occasionally from now on.
thanks so much for making me laugh, albeit unintentionally. xxxxxxxxxxxx
