[Danauk]

That might be the best idea, they might be restocking the shelves if you go later too.

A few years ago, we went down the Sainsbury's (who had 24 hour opening) at about 5am on Christmas Eve morning. It meant there was a reasonable amount on the shelves and was nice and quiet.

Tell me about it - I used to take paracetamol for a few days while it settled down again Hopefully it will have settled down somewhat by thursday though

The one I found worst wasn't the train tracks, but was the headgear that I was given. I think I wore it for about a week before I gave up with it because of the soreness it used to produce in my top teeth

I had a lot of problems with my braces though - they kept breaking and coming unstuck from my teeth so I was back and forth a lot having it re-glued and fixed. That was fine when I was at home, but it broke on holiday once - the A&E department at the local hospital didn't have a clue how to mend it or remove it so just left it

Oh no that sounds awful! Are your teeth perfect etc now?

I have vertical maxillary excess (gummy smile) and a new othodontist wanted me to go to Glasgow to get some upper jaw bone cut out I was seriously thinking about it but then looked on youtube .... enough said!

I then went to my next appointment and it was the guy in charge of the department I got (got him today too) and he said it should never have been mentioned to me about surgery and on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being I seriously need it) I was only a 2.... so that was it wrapped up and worked out in 10 mins and I had been worried for 2 months wondering what the right thing to do was!

In a weird kind of a way I think I might miss my train track!

I've just posted this over on the weddings thread, but would love to hear if you guys think doing this would make me go to hell.....I'm just so torn! It's giving me a headache!!

Right this is a little confusing so please stick with me!!

I am soon (hopefully) to be engaged, as some of you know my DBf and I had chosen a lovely ring from a well known UK jewellers.

But, I always wanted a family ring for my wedding/engagement as I think it means so much more.....

So - my very elderly grandmother had a stroke a couple of months back, and since then has developed pretty severe dementia, she doesnt really know where she is, or whats going on.

She's also lost a lot of weight, and has had to be put into a home.

All of her jewellery has been given to my mum, as her only daughter, and my mum wants me to have it all.

Now, one of the rings my Nan has been wearing for the last 10 years or so is her sisters engagement ring - a 0.5 carat solitaire, which is very beautiful.

I've been given this, along with my nans diamond solitaire engagement ring. I can't think of doing anything to my grandmothers ring, just incase her dementia miraculously clears and she asks where her ring is...

But do you think it's immoral of me to get my great aunts reset while my grandmother is still alive? (My great aunt passed away 10 years ago, and she never had children or grandchildren of her own, and really doted on me.)

Also, we went into the jeweller and asked about prices and styles yesterday, and i fell in love with a ring i could have my diamond turned into.....

...amazingly the exact figure was transferred into Jacks account today through a payment he has been owed for months!

Am I evil??? What would you do??

Just to add - its not a case of money saving, its a case of using family jewellery is my dream - and my nan is just crazy, not on her way out, and we will be engaged soon.......so to buy or to recycle?

I wear my grandmas engagement and wedding ring on my right had and my engagement and wedding rings on my wedding finger. Maybe you could do this? My grandma is also still alive and has demintia too, she lives in a care home.

Is anyone else not feeling really Christmassy or is it just me? I think because we are not hosting Christmas this year I am not having to prepare like I usually do and so I'm not really in the Christmas mood!
