Next time you come down to visit,<br />maybe you could stop on the hard shoulder and have a quick look. :+:<br /><br />06 January 2008, 15:20:14PhilP.S. I like the phrase &quot;measure of<br />pleasure&quot;. I&#39;ll have to start using that. :+:06 January 2008, 15:21:39LisaIt&#39;s painful to read as I&#39;d formed quite an<br />attachment. I&#39;ve managed to hold onto my senses longer than the ring and<br />they&#39;re not entirely stable at the best of times.06 January 2008, 15:41:41ZI&#39;m so sorry. That really is a dismal tale.<br />Right up to the end, I hoped something wonderful would happen and it&#39;d turn up.<br />I&#39;d still consider giving your cat a laxative and examining the results<br />carefully.06 January 2008, 16:52:38PhilFunnily enough, I have checked the<br />litter tray. Twice in fact. Frankly, twenty-four hours into the search, I was<br />willing to look anywhere. I was even tempted to grab a torch and give<br />Lisa some kind of internal examination. Actually I still haven&#39;t ruled that one<br />out.06 January 2008, 19:34:57DaveTake the u-bend off every sink in your flat<br />and at Pease Pottage services. Women apparently take rings off to wash their<br />hands, and they fall down plug-holes (the rings, not the women).06 January 2008, 19:55:47Phil&#39;s MumI&#39;m still hoping that someone has picked it up<br />and hasn&#39;t yet had time to take it to a police station. But perhaps I&#39;m just<br />naive. Your niece found a £20 note in the front garden and took it to the<br />police, so there are still some honest people around!06 January 2008, 21:39:28Phil&#39;s MumFailing all else, we could start a &quot;New<br />Ring for Lisa Fund&quot;. I&#39;ve got a very nice M &amp; S coat I could sell for<br />it.06 January 2008, 21:45:18KathyThe ring looks loose in the picture. Maybe it<br />fell off. Look inside her coat lining or purse lining or any where she may have<br />taken off her gloves. Strip the bed and shake the blankets. If you charged the<br />ring on your credit card, maybe you&#39;re covered. I also lost my diamond<br />engagement ring before my wedding and here it is over 20 years later and we&#39;re<br />still happily married. Pray to St. Anthony.07 January 2008, 01:36:57DaveThe credit card tip might be useful - they do<br />usually include free insurance on things you buy with the card. Worth asking,<br />anyway. <br /><br />Unless you did get it from the pound shop,<br />obviously.07 January 2008, 07:51:11PhilSadly I&#39;m too impoverished for major banks to<br />trust me with a credit card, so I only have debit cards. And even so, any<br />insurance would probably have expired - I bought the ring a while ago, and was<br />waiting until I had enough money to buy the ingredients for gingerbread.07 January 2008, 08:14:53&#39;old&#39;<br />friend from BexhillPhil &amp; Lisa <br /><br />I can&#39;t tell you how sorry I am. Like Dave, I<br />too was waiting for a happy punch-line. Perhaps your mum&#39;s idea isn&#39;t such a<br />bad one!07 January 2008, 13:35:49DashPhil &amp; Lisa, I&#39;m so, so sorry to hear about this. It&#39;s<br />dreadful. Let me know if you start a fund for a new one - I know a vicar we can<br />raffle. I think he is house-trained. He might not raise much money but it&#39;s a<br />start! Dash x09 January 2008, 02:42:56ClivePhil - Your stories always have a funny<br />punchline, even if it&#39;s not it the same posting. So I live in hope that within days we&#39;ll read<br />some hilarious tale involving either i) - an expensive veterinary bill, ii) - a<br />trip to A&amp;E or iii) - A phone call in broken English from Pease Pottage. However it ends, we wait for the happy ending.11 January 2008, 07:45:37Philhttp://www.mulledwhines.net/noreply@blogger.com
