guilt trip

[Connemmara]

Well I have found a ring that I was telling you some time ago and it has been the ring I have liked on another person years ago. Anyway will be in the situation in November (my birthday) to buy it and I am feeling a little guilty. It is a lot of money for a ring in fact a lot of money for me to buy anything in my entire life. But the way I am justifying it I never married - so did not pay for a reception, did not have kids, so no christenings, communion and confirmation, and so on on on.

It is double thousands - just want to know what you Abers think of my extortionate spending.

Depends where you live in the uk if you live in a very deprived area with a high crime rate you might have concerns about wearing it but if its insured why worry...most of the uk is not that bad anyway,,, I am sure Sqad is not the first ex pat to give the impression he believes the entire country is overrun with feral youth and iilegal immigrant gangs.

I came from a pretty deprived background and my mum has always dreamed of owning a megarock if she came into the dosh she'd have one....and risk wearing it...

Get it.... Get it.... Get it...

and enjoy every single minute of wearing it. x

thanks mcfluff and to everybody for their wee opinions. It is absolutely beautiful (the ring) unfortunately it looks like an engagement ring so I will be engaged to myself hahahahaha - but I dont care. Bye all

Rowanwitch nearly every area has a deprived area close by, so does this mean we should never own anything nice or new in fear of being robbed?

I did an impulse buy a few years back. You see I never had an engagement ring, just a wedding band and through 25 years my finger always looked naked to me. I had the kids and all the things that go with them couldn't afford to splash out.
Then my aunt died & left me £2.000 I was thinking of treating the kids ect something for the house? - - Then I was at an antique Fair and I saw this gorgeous antique solitair diamond ring and fell in love, I tried it on & it fitted (an omen) so I bought it there and then. I've never regreted it and people to this day still comment on the ring.

Connemmara - - - BUY IT!...

Not at all,, Just invest in the insurance as well.... I used to walk through Brixton wearing a couple of antique rings and a pendant that werew worth a fair bit,, never had any problems,, lost them in a burglary didn't replace them wish now I had

You want it.......you can afford it........don't understand why would you feel guilty?

If all your replies were negative would you cancel plans for this purchase?

[sara3]

buy it! I blew some cash on diamond earrings years ago. I've worn them every day since (even in The Bronx, London), and love them as much as I did when I bought them.

just do it. treat yourself :o)
