It was only repaired a few weeks ago.

I could have bought something useful with the money it cost to repair it too.

Sentimental value can't be measure Sharron. If you could find it, it is probably worth more now as the silver value has probably increased!!

What peaved me most was his paying £55 to repair something that cost £22.

As keeper of the purse, no doubt you're ever-so cross ;-)
Is it worth claiming on the household insurance?

OH lost his wedding ring a few years after we married. We told the insurance co that he was clearing snow out of the roof eaves. It sounded better than we were having a snowball fight - his hands were already cold from the snow clearing :-D

I lost some weight a few years ago Sharron and my wedding ring was loose. Was
afraid I'd loose it so I gave it to my wife. I think she keeps it in a drawer.

It is engraved inside saying David and Ellen, her's is also engraved inside,
hers reads Ellen and David.

I don't like jewellery and never wear it but OH thought he would like to wear a ring a few years ago so I bought him a silver one for £22.

He wore it all the time and, last year, hetripped over a paving stone and mangled it so much on his finger that he had to go to a jeweller to have it cut off. This cost a tenner which they said they would knock off the fee for re-making it.

Without telling me, he had it re-made and that cost a further £45.

He was a little unwell last year and lost a bit of body mass and now he has lost the ring!
