Well done!

I must say I am so fed up of waiting until September when I can get some more that I have been sorely tempted in the last few days to just buy some, but have held out so far.

Impressive!!! I think I'm less motivated to buy as I haven't got a bracelet to put any charms on at the mo... Ah well, maybe a trip to Polka Dotz and Florida Mall will change all that..?

Hi everyone! Just had what I think is a great result!!! As I mentioned earlier, I had decided to start my niece off with a Chamilia bangle and a few charms for Christmas. Then just last week, I discovered my long-standing personal trainer (and friend) is emigrating to Australia at the start of September so thought I'd get her one too as I figured she'd prefer the style of the Chamilia bangle. So far so good...

Anyway, I had a £100 discount voucher from Ernest Jones which I could use from yesterday so went online this morning and loaded up my basket. I had to spend £300 to get the discount but that was fairly easy... Then I remembered Quidco and found that they are now offering 16% cashback on EJ purchases!!! So that's £300 worth of gifts for around £175 - I feel positively virtuous...

So what charms are you thinking of getting for them then? x

They look fab, Bob!!! I can't get used to wearing both bracelets together - they seem very heavy tho' that could be coz I wear them with a watch too...

 

[Pinky166]

Wow, they will love those bracelets & charms Karen.

 

[Kirsteen]

Lovely update Bob Great shopping Karen - they will love those!!

Lovley charms, i love the blue glass ones & the puzzle peice, i would like that as my last charm for my bracelet .x

Wouldya believe they arrived already!!!??? So here are the 2 Chamilia bangles - had to Google how to take the ends off but once I found that out it was peasy... I especially like the two spherical beads that push along the bangle to keep the other beads in place - very useful...

One for my niece...

One for my friend...

And the nice packaging they come in...

All in all, very pleased...

 

[Kirsteen]

ooh they are lovely Karen

 

[Pinky166]

Both are very nice Karen.

 

[CustardTart]

ooh they are lovely Karen

Both are very nice Karen.

Thanks, girls! They're much nicer than I expected TBH so big grins all round...

This morning I've taken all the beads off my bracelets (the things you do when you're waiting in for horrid men who don't arrive) and given them a clean. I think I'm going to re-configure them this afternoon then decide once and for all whether or not to get a new bracelet...

PS: Love the pics in your signature, Kirsteen...

Thanks Karen I came across a thread earlier today about the paying stones and thought I don't even have any photos up in the office so I though I'd add some piccies to my signature so I can see them everytime I post I updated Captain Jack's piccie too with his more grown-up Tigger suit

The look fantastic. I start to think rather than getting a Pandora bracelet for my Disney Chamilia charms that I intend to get in Florida, I might get a bangle.

I will order one of the leather bracelets for my Secret Mickey for my next cruise. She loves Tigger so I will get her a Tigger charm to go with it.

That's a lovely idea, Corinna!!!

My DD Sophie popped round last night and loved the bangle style - she insisted on trying them on (much to my horror!!!) and said that it's more comfy on her wrist than her Pandora bracelet... So she is very keen to get one...

So that's exactly what I did and have decided to stick with the two bracelets for the forseeable future. I tend to wear just one at a time with my bracelet watch (the Pandora clips match the strap) and that's definitely my fave look. Of course, I would love the 14kt gold one but I REALLY don't have that kinda cash to splurge - and TBH if I did, it wouldn't be on a bracelet...

In the spirit of change, I've now put all my silver/gold and gold charms on the silver/gold bracelet and, happily, have more than enough space on there for the gold handbag I have been lusting after for ages!!! It retails for $355 in the US so that must make it around £220 - needless to say it's £315 over here!!! Fingers crossed I can get my hands on one in September...

On hols, Richard asked me how much I thought the bracelets were worth - now what kind of a mean question is that??? Suffice to say, I stopped trying to add up after reaching £500 and resorted to distracting him with another glass of rioja...
