HELP PLS!! Can anyone "see" where i may have lost my engagement ring

**~Gee_Whizzy~** · January 18th, 2010, 02:14 PM

i've just come back from grocery shopping and realised that my engagement ring is not on my finger

-- my wedding band is but the engagement ring is nowhere to be found

i've checked the shopping bags, my daughters carseat, my hand bag, the car and cannot find it anywhere. i'm going back to the shops now, but i dont like my chances of finding it

- Can any of you lovely ladies possibly "see" where i may have lost it

I'm sooo upset

Did you wash your hands and dry them on paper towel at the shops? Could have come off then. Or at home on a hand towel or they might be in the kitchen. You probably already have done this but try to think back when you saw it last and go from there.
Could your DD have picked it up?

I dont normally reply to metaphysical stuff as I dont understand it enough but I got a strong feeling of your car. Did you have groceries in the boot? Could it have slipped under the carpet in the boot? I would really have another good search of the car.

Hope it turns up for you

I dont' usually reply either but I saw a counter... God I hope you find it, how heartbreaking!

I know what it is like, i lost mine a while ago and fond it in the big wheelie bin outside!!

So maybe check your bins (or get your hubby to do it!)
What about your handbag? We reach into them a lot, to get keys, purses etc in and out, so maybe it slipped in there, in a side pocket? Sometimes little holes can tear at the bottom of the side pockets and things can slide in between the bag and the inner lining?

Also, did you call the shops and ask if anything was handed in?

Maybe it came off in the parking lots when you were loading bags in?

You could put a little poster up in the shop window offering a reward?

Hope you find it, I have my fingers crossed for you!

MrsB - i actually only noticed it was missing when i walked in the door and went to take them off to wash my hands

- Nah, DD def couldn't have got it she was already buckled into the car before we left for the shops and i ran back in to get my rings - ughhh i should've just not worn them

Thanks Ali, yeah that was my first point of reference as i thought exactly the same thing, but its nowhere to be found in the boot, i even checked under the spare tyre in the hopes it had fallen down there, but nothing...

Thanks Ella me too, but im not holding out much hope - the centre managment and the other 3 shops i went into said to call back tomorrow morning as they would have done the clean up by then

I thought about this - but if someone finds it they'll know its worth a bit

Hope you find it, I have my fingers crossed for you!

FT - i actually had put DD in her carseat and then ran back into the house to put them so i know I had it on when i got to the shops, i only noticed it was gone when i came home and went to take them off to wash my hands and saw that only the band was my finger

- i called all the shops before i went back to have another look and i even managed to park in the exact park that i was in the first time and there was nothing...waaahhhhh

Have you tried DD's car seat, where there is a slit for the seatbelt/harness to go through the cover? You may need to take the cover off for a really good look. (they swallow hairclips and tiny teddies whole!)

**Queen** · January 20th, 2010, 09:18 PM

I am about to go check there for my bangle!

Yeah, we actually took out DD's whole seat out of the car and took the cover off so we could check all the little nooks and crannies and theres nothing

- I've resigned myself to the fact that it is in fact lost and am now wrangling with my insurance company to pay out the value of what we had it insured for, which is proving to be a nightmare

thank you all for help!
