Lovely Maddy. I just new before I got to the end of your post you would buy both ;)

LOL, I'm so predictable  :P
I actually didn't intend on buying 2, but I do have 6 fingers free  ;)
CC, they're from a jewellers in your lovely country, in Nottingham...I was actually looking for an emerald ring to begin with.

EmeraldSue....good on you  8)

Maddy I thought my DW was bad with shopping but you win hands down. :)

LOL....Bet your thankful  I'm not your wife Den  ;D
Nice to hear you are giving our economy a boost Maddy :D :D :D

I may may have bought an eternity ring for DH to give me :-))
(With 10 Chanel set diamonds.)
My children are doing their sacraments this year, so I was buying them crosses and chains.
I didn't intend buying anything for myself, but my friend and I were just trying rings on for the fun of it. I tried this one on, and it complimented my other rings, and it was on sale........At least I didn't buy the 2 carat solitaire I tried on!
I did buy something for DH too.

Lovely setting you have chosen ES ;) ;D

Good on you ES. The friendship ring that DH gave me half a century ago died about 4 years ago. So instead of getting it repaired I bought a lovely ring with an Argyle diamond or two. similar to the old friendship rings but open in it's construction and with the cute very little diamonds in champagne and white.  He wouldn't spring to pink ones! I thought I did well as he thinks jewellery is only baubles.
Thank goodness I convinced him otherwise for our 40th anniversary. I adore rings and pendants, oh and bracelets as well.

I'm waiting on our jeweller to make up my ring. After waiting around 15 years to have it made now I can't wait another 2 weeks  ;D Cookie I ended up with quite a collection of Argyle diamonds including 2 pink champagnes - no where near the price of the actual pinks but when I took them to the jeweller last week they are of such high clarity and such a great colour he was sure they were actual pinks.

That's great Wonder. I love the pinks, they seem special. Maybe when I am older and greyer!

Couldn't resist. Just have to see what it is like. I wasn't a great fan of Good Taste.

The link here http://shop.target.com.au/p/acacia-chopping-board-with-drawer/P53164674

They are $40.00. You're in Cairns aren't you? If you are, I checked target Cairns Central and they didn't have any. I'm going to buy online.
