You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
The mrs has misplaced and since cannot find her engagement ring for about 5 days now. Searched the house from top to bottom, nowhere to be found.
At what stage do you approach the household insurance? Of couse we'd like to find the ring but we have honestly no idea where the thing is!!! Never been lost before.
Thanks in advance!
Lucky escape, you don't have to marry her now.
What thegreatape said. Tell her she had her chance and she blew it.
Pics and prices required here.
When can she remember wearing it last?
Does she remember why she took it off?
Retracing her steps might help.
lol. Married for over 10 years now i'm afraid, retract all those offers!
Leave it.
If she can't take care of it then a replacement ring won't fare any better (as well as not being the original thus will always be considered as a substitute)
If on the other hand it was very expensive you can use the payout for bike bits
🙂
Now. You've given it long enough.
Might not want to say it was lost in the house, a coworker did this and they claimed it was misplaced due to still being in the house and refused to pay out.
So you're telling the OP to lie if it was lost in the house?
Agree about the house bit. Its not lost if its in the house, I've found stuff I "lost" years ago.
Did she lose it after the works xmas party?
... but secured that promotion?
Make sure you also put a claim in for "distress" and re-training
So you're telling the OP to lie if it was lost in the house?
No he isn't, but you managed to extract any moral outrage pretty sharpish.
Obviously, she's having an affair! 😡 Probably with your best friend... ❗

If you know where it is, it's not lost. If it's lost, you don't know where it is.

You can call it moral outrage if you want.
I would prefer to call it honesty.
...and what is the honest answer to stating the location of something you don't know the location of?
if that's not what his post was[i] suggesting[/i] it was badly worded.No he isn't
I'm not talking about the op. I'm talking about the comment "don't tell them you lost it in the house". How does anyone know where it is?
If you say it's not in the house it implies you know where it is (even though the op has no idea)
Mrs North has variously lost the engagement ring I gave her 10 years ago in shops, other people's offices, at her parents house and into the interior trim of the car.
She is neither allowed to wear it any more, nor am I prepared to buy her a wedding ring.
This is a red flag! Check her phone messages, has she been acting distant lately? You need to leave this person now!!
Edit: Awfully sorry, please ignore, I was browsing Mumsnet earlier and now I have lost all sense of reality!
Haha, I see the list of responses is up to its usual high standard, even seasonal with the Xmas party gag!
Looked in all the 'usual' places. We ahve had building work recently, lots of floor boards up and excavations in the garden, so if it has been misplaced and accidently plopped into any of these its a gonner.
Ring valuation 1.5k so yeah probably worth claiming for.
I take the point re in the house.
I would seriously suspect one of the builders 😉

A fine example of moral rectitude we should all live by...
