Yay, looks good.

I bought the bow spacer today so my bracelet is now officially complete. I am going to start doing another colour scheme now (well as soon as June kicks in).

 

[Pinky166]

Looks lovely Torsie.



Well done Bev!!!

Not long to wait for June.

Thanks Claire. I had a look at the golf one in the Pandora shop today and it does look nice. I am now thinking of doing a bracelet with white and pink colours plus gold bits.

guyyyys im so gutted, i entered a john greed competition to win 100 pounds worth of pandora beads and i went on to check the winner today, it said In our lives we take many things for granted, for one young lady, walking out of the house was as scary as riding a jet-ski, taking a bungy-jump or going through a difficult birth. We hope that she is getting more and more confident and that her lovely boyfriend is encouraging her to overcome her agrophobia with the lure of more Pandora beads. Unfortunately, she forgot to put her contact details, but the story really touched us. i cant believe i didnt put them it didnt tell me to anywhere at all if it did i would have put everything down awww im so gutted it would have finished off my bracelet im so silllllllllllyyy

 

[Pinky166]

Oh no Becky. Can't you contact them & tell them it was you? I hope you manage to sort it out.

[Kirsteen]

Becky, did John Greed get back to you? That is a shame that you missed out. Maybe they will still honour that they picked your story... fingers crossed for you

I have just received an email and my Circle of Friends beads have arrived in the shop and are being posted out to me tomorrow!! Yippee. I can't wait to see them. The girl I spoke to on the phone said they were lovely - they hadn't seen them before either. They are being sent our tomorrow Special Del - I hope they arrive on Saturday - I won't be leaving the house!!! Just wanted to share with people who I know will understand my excitement xx

 

[beckypenguin]

hi guys nopes they didnt oh well! just one of them things! i might buy the elephant charm to cheer me up as it is sooo cute !! thanks for being so caring guys! nobody quite understands the excitement about pandora beads as u guys on here

 

[Pinky166]

I can't wait to see your new charm Kirsteen.

Thats such a shame Becky, I think you should treat yourself to the Elephant one, it is very cute.

 

[dolphingirl47]

I was thinking I'd have to hand over the Circle of Friends charm to DH (when it arrives) as I've put on since I was weighed last week. I like the remove a charm for weight gain incentive, that should keep me...

I've just emailed the lovely peeps at Chamilia to say thank you for the info they gave me last week and they told me that some Ernest Jones will be stocking Chamilia from 1st June. 15 stores have orders winging their merry way to them as we speak As they catch on more shops will be stocking them too.

I just spotted that Ernest Jones at the Arndale Centre in Manchester now stocks Chamilia. I am hoping to go to town before work on Monday and will have to check this out.

Had a great result in Bluewater, people!!!

I have coveted this retired thimble charm for ages but always thought it rather pricey when I've spotted it on eBay...

Anyway, I could not believe it when I espied the lovely charm on a display stand in Bluey's Pandora emporium!!! AND it was a mere £25... So guess whose bracelet it's adorning now as a symbol of all her hard endeavour..???

Congratulations on getting the charm and for such a good price as well.

My updated bracelet with my frog charm (for having frogs in the garden pond).

(Happy Hols Karen)

That bracelet looks wonderful. Congratulations on finishing your first bracelet.

I am so sorry that you missed out.

I can't believe it. Payday was over a week ago and I still have not added a charm to my collection. It did not help that I was on a cruise ship one payday and I have been flat out at work ever since. I have a six day week this week as well. I am hopefully getting the Queen Bee charm on Monday.

Sorry you missed out Becky.

Thanks Corinna.

Looking forward to seeing your photo Kirsteen.

Here is the start of my bracelet two.

The charms were all birthday presents. The golf one to represent my Dad's 4 hole in ones plus the fact that golf is big in our household. The silver and black one represents Whitby. Whitby is a small seaside town near me famous for Captain Cook, Dracula, whaling and jet. The black on the charm is actually Whitby jet. Whitby jet is special to me because my Victorian (greats) grandparents made Whitby jet jewellery which was a big thing in those days plus I love visiting Whitby. The other two charms pansy and rose are from my parents for my birthday.

I have some birthday money so will probably be adding to the bracelet then with the hubbie losing job at the end of the year I will have to resort to selling things if I want to buy any more or for presents, so next bracelet will be a bit slower to fill I suspect.

I think I will buy a pink pearl one next to represent my birthday.

 

[Pinky166]

Off to a great start Bev. I really like the golf ball one & may get it too for my next bracelet.

 

[wicket2005]

Thanks Claire, have you got your oxidised one yet?

Thanks Claire, have you got your oxidised one yet?

Well it arrived at the begining of last week & as I opened it hubby took it off me & said its for your birthday! I am sure he is doing it to wind me up now! Oh well not long to wait....it looked really nice for the split second I saw it.

 

[wicket2005]

Lovely, I look forward to seeing it next week. The orange charms will sit nice on it.

 

[Kirsteen]

Your bracelet is lovely Bev. You are off to a great start!

Can't wait to see your new one Claire. One of my friends will have to wait until Feb for her charm but she will have seen everyone elses by then! She was the one that bought myself and two friends their Pandora bracelets and two charms for their 30th's. So she is 'in' on the Circle of Friends charms although she still doesn't know which charm I picked yet - I really hope they like them!! It's 30th number 2 on Tuesday so I think the charms are going to arrive just in time.

The charms didn't arrive yesterday so I am hoping that the postie will be bringing me a lovely parcel tomorrow. I ordered some scrapbooking goodies too last week so hopefully the postie will have two parcels for me - the excitement might just be too much

 

[dolphingirl47]

Right, I got a new charm for my bracelet today. As I mentioned yesterday, I got the Queen Bee charm. I have been looking for ages to get a charm to represent my love for cruising, but could never find anything. I do not like dangling charms so the one with the anchor was out and there was really nothing else. Two weeks ago I was on a cruise. Whenever I am on a cruise I seem to live in the spa. On that ship, they had a fantastic thermal suit as part of the spa with Sauna, steam room, tropical rain showers, hot tubs, Thalasso therapy pool and heated tile loungers. This was my favourite part of the ship and I spent every spare minute there. Above the hot tub there was a piece of art work that I really loved. It was kind of a tie-dye effect with a medallion with a queen bee in one corner. I just had to get the Queen Been charm after that.

Here are some photo of my updated bracelet:

I got rather rudely interrupted last night by my DH telling me that is was bed time.

I had look at Ernest Jones yesterday afternoon. The shop in the Arndale Centre has been a stockist for Chamilia since 1st June. I could not believe my eyes. The prices for the charms started at GBP30 and although I liked the look of them, I did not think that the workmanship was quite as good as the Pandora charms and definitely not worth the extra GBP10. I am still hoping to get some Chamilia Disney Charms in Florida, but hopefully they will be cheaper there.

I also got the bracelet for my sister and the house charm to go with it yesterday. Unfortunately none of the local shops had the heart lock or the turquoise enamel butterfly charm in stock. The heart lock charm has been back ordered from one shop for over 5 months now. Fortunately John Greed had this in stock and this has been dispatched today. They did not have the butterfly charm either, but my local shop is trying to get this for me. Here is a photo of the beginnings of my sister's bracelet:
