Would you purchase fashion jewelry online?

Nowadays everything is digitized and everybody wants to save their time to go for shopping. Every woman love jewelry and never refuse to have it. I heard many positive aspects of shopping jewelry online.

Contrary they have hard time feeling themselves wearing jewelry online. I am doing a study on percentage of people will purchase fashion jewelry online. Can anyone help to share your opinion?

Thursday Nosy Post No. 34...and about time too!!

Having been pretty much away from the Forum for a fortnight or more (due to family and health problems...which aren't quite resolved, but which I've come to terms with), what better way to return to the fold than with a Nosy Post!:D

a. Have you ever been to a working farm, either to stay, to visit, or to an annual, organised, "Open Farm Sunday"?

b. If you get a boxed set of CDs, or a set of books or novels, do you watch/read them all as soon as you get them (like I'm about to do with Game of Thrones!:rolleyes:), or do you space them out, or ration yourself, to prolong the enjoyment?

c. What was the last thing you got out of your freezer?

d. Do you know your trees? Do you know an ash from a larch, for example, or a rowan from an aspen?

e. When you were a child did you collect free gifts...like those politically incorrect little characters from Robertsons jam, which you could exchange for various little politically incorrect metal badges :confused:!! Or the Beatles cards with bubble gum, or the Brooke Bond Tea Cards?

Looking forward to reading your answers, and being part of this lovely Forum again.

My answers:

a. Yes, been to a couple of farm open days. Part of Mr R's job is delivering building materials specifically designed for farms (barns etc.), and he's become quite interested in the industry.

b. See my note re. GoT above!

c. 1lb (or should that be 454gms:)?) of mince for tonights shepherds pie.

d. I'm not bad at trees. I can recognise quite a lot. My Dad could name lots of them (he came from country stock), and he taught me when I was little.

e. Yes, I collected those Robertsons g******gs, and had several badges. I remember I had the football player, and a few musicians. I also collected, and swapped, Man from Uncle and Beatles cards, and World Cup coins from 1966.

Tumble Dryer Dramas

Good morning one and all

Well last evening I discovered my tumble dryer was one of the offending faulty dryers that catch fire. I found scorch marks all over my lovely fluffy towels and so I thought I'd better check the serial numbers etc and lo and behold. After registering my dryer with the supplier they contacted me to tell me that they would assign me a date for service in 10 weeks time but I could still use the dryer even though it was damaging my clothes. I don't think so, why would I want to use a faulty dryer that is burning my clothes etc.

Anyway, today it is raining heavily and looks set to continue throughout Easter so I am not waiting for someone to fix my dryer I'm just going to scrap the one I have and buy a new one.

I'm sorry for the rant but I feel much better now.

I hope you all have a lovely day xxBBxx

Has anyone bought a gas patio heater?

Last night whilst flicking through TV channels and messing about on my Kindle I decided to buy a new gas patio heater. One that looks like an isosceles triangle! I'm just hoping it's as good as they say they are. OH has always fancied one so I thought I'd buy one to treat him. It won't be delivered until around 2nd or 3rd April so I'm hoping we can use it then if the weather bucks up.

We've had gas patio heaters in the past but they've never really lasted and soon get to look tatty. I was just curious as to whether any of you ladies have bought one of these new-fangled types and what you think of them.

Cheers my dears x

Day 18 Alderney

Never been here!

I have this lurking around so an early in the thread random





Alderney is the most Northerly of the Channel Islands and famously has a railway

It carried its first official pasengers in 1854, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Its main purpose was to move stone quarryed from the north of the island to build a breakwater in the south.

During the war, the pesky Germans changed the track to some continental fangled guage and it all had to be changed back after the war.

Little interactive map of the extensive line, ahem

Alderney was considered by Hitler to have huge tactical value. Virtually all the islanders were evacuated in 1940. Four labour camps were set up, one of which was the only SS camp on British soil. Thousandsof slave labourers died - its commonly thought to have been the worst place to be a slave labourer of the four islands.


Kiwi here is the main street, sorry it's the best we can do, it is only a small island

Day 18 Alderney

Good morning Thursday

Checked my phone this morning to get the right day!

Didn't sleep too well last night, first time since we have been here. Think it is because we return home today and, drum roll please, the plumber says he is coming at 9am!

Did a blitz on the house yesterday so just have to put the vac round again, make up our bed for our next visitors and pack the car. Will be down again in May and maybe a few days in April, but not sure about that one. Hope we remember to go via Paignton and put the spanish key through YS and partner's letterbox.

Otherwise not much happening today!

Have a good one

Well this is heartening …….

Have been sitting with the TV on while reading my mail. Head down and concentrating I suddenly realized that I was hearing a foreign language and it wasn't Greek. One of our Greek television channels has created a News Spot called "News for Refugees". It is full of general news but also valuable information and advice (many of them have access to TV in the camps they are in now and also those who are in hotels or being accommodated by Greeks in their homes. It also gives them a weather report which hopefully will encourage them to take advantage of being indoors instead of mucky soaking tents.

So much better than a piece of paper being pushed in your hand listing things you don't want to read or are too tired to. The programme has Greek subtitles so I was very interested and impressed with the content.

Maybe not something you all wanted to hear but I thought it worth mentioning - I think it's encouraging for them. One thing I did pick up was that once moved to accommodation they will stay for 2 months when their individual situations will be reviewed.

For once I feel like congratulating the Media.
