the PANDORA bracelet thread

[coconkally]

I seem to be possessed by it at the moment! Lol!! I need to have a good sort out of them tbh!

i think after ive had this lot i am just going to calm right down and just buy occasionally instead of all the flipping time otherwise i will have nothing but my pandora lol.

 

[melanie789611]

you know you sound just as bad as me i am waiting on an order of 10 and a order of 2.

Haha well I've blown my student loan... Spent over 1200 pound.. It's a good job uni is finishing and I can work to earn some pennies lol! I'm glad my parents don't know! They would go mental!

oh gosh i really wouldnt of been impressed had i of lost a gold clip infact i think i would of flipped and near pulled my own head off.

That made me laugh! Pulled your own head off! I would have been quite upset like! I only lost a silver one, I'd be devastated if I lost one of them now to!

Uh yeah, I turned to drink after that - I was pretty mad at myself, you see it had fallen off before twice in the past week when I was on holiday - and I had noticed it happening both times, picked it up, looked it over, tested it and it seemed fine -

I didn't know if it was just one falling off or both had gone kerplunk on the floor. So I was a bit paranoid and instead of taking them both off, I left them and you know, packed luggage, lugged luggage, taxis, airport lines, waiting rooms etc...

I know I had it when I boarded the plane though, so either it was lost there or the luggage areas or the taxi home etc.. blah.

Lol you turned to drink!

The feeling that you have lost something is the worst! As you always look back and think 'where???!!!'

your within your right to send it back even if she says she doesnt accept returns as thats not ebays policy i would just say you want to return the charm as it is faulty and also the murano as you are not sure it is genuine, she cant refuse i would just tell her nicely and ask for the return address if by any chance she is funny with you just tell her you want to sort this out but you will go through a ebay dispute if you have too.
and dont let it upset you just sweep it under the carpet and put it down to experience.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. It was a very long weekend (we're getting the carpet torn out of 2 bedrooms and having the wood floors resurfaced. My husband hates the carpeting and wants wood floors in there) & so we had to move everything out of there. Poor kitties are going to be in the basement for the next few days. So dealing with this Ebay stuff kinda stressed me out. Well at least the primrose path charm I have coming from a different Ebay seller should be real. He had comments where people were saying the charms were authentic.

Anyway, that seller wrote me back after I told her I wanted to send back the hynotic one but was going to have the murano checked out. She said that's fine, no problem. So she seems to be working with me at this point. But I think it's probably easier to just send both back instead of running around trying to authentic the murano?

Very stressful time for you and getting Pandora should make it better - not worse!

Our house is for sale right now - we are downsizeing to a condo, I have to keep on top of everything - everything clean and tidy because we never know when an agent will want to show it. We recarpeted a room last week (we called it the cat room - thats where the litter boxes were) we pulled up the old gross carpet (10 years there) and put new stuff down. I like hardwood the best but didn;t want to spend a lot on a house we are selling.

anyway... skittles - taste the rainbow

Northshore, that's what the sales associate told me but she could have been wrong. We all seem to know more on this Pandora thread than any sales assistant anyway! I'm not an expert but I do love the dice. It's funny because I passed it up a few times but now that i have it it's one of my favorites!

I love the die too and mine came from a very special friend

I also know that many times we know as much or more (or at least earlier) than many sales associates. I guess it's because we are obsessed with the product!!!

have you thought of taking 2 charms off at either side and having the clip on safety chain?

I have both kinds of safety chains and I actually prefer the regular screw on kind as the clip kind takes up too much bracelet real estate if you know what I mean.

Would be a shame to lose such a good deal on a murano if it's real.....on the other hand, with all of the other things going on in your life, returning it might be the easiest thing for you to do. Good luck!!!

awww you sound like you have a right load on you need to relax some.
at least the seller is being responsive so you should have any problems.
take it easy hunny.x

Haha well I've blown my student loan... Spent over 1200 pound.. It's a good job uni is finishing and I can work to earn some pennies lol! I'm glad my parents don't know! They would go mental!

arghhh you need to go easy and not get yourself in a pickle trust me i got in a mess with credit cards before now buying pandora and even had to sell alot to sort myself out.
i used to be really bad and buy like 30 charms at a time i once spent £6,000 in a month and didnt really have the money to do so.
i have straightened myself out since then as i actually used to be an addicted gambler so you can imagine just how bad i was.
the trick to it is to remember the charms will always be there when the cash is available i absolutely refuse to get myself in a mess again as there is no way i ever want to part with my collection again.
when i think about what i had lost to sort the debt out it makes me feel sick (i once had a gold pandora and that had to go.)
i dont want you to feel i am being all parenty and telling you what to do as thats not the case i am merely just trying to let you know this addiction can land you in hot water if not treated with caution.
hope you dont take offence.

lol i felt abit out of sorts saying it on here but i think its something alot of women go through as far as pandora goes.
i am very lucky i could sort myself out and still be able to carry on collecting pandora with my partners blessing no debt is a great feeling it really is when it comes to buying and you know you are able to pay out of available funds is just great.

Ooo I wrote a big reply and my Internet went crazy! Thank you for being so caring and truthful! Tbh not many people do say the truth like that and I respect it a lot! I'm fine though, I just have little spurts of addictiveness then I tend to move on to something else it's just my personality, and I'm very impatient, however I won't spend beyond my mean ( I can't really) and as being a student with a BF and doing a law degree I can't really go out and spend as much money on the student lifestyle, and I prefer it really, it means I can buy what I like, designer bags and lots of jewellery that I like, I get quite a good student loan as my mother is disabled and she wants me to spend the money on what I like, and because I work as well a few times a week, it means my pennies are topped up, all my rent and bills are sorted so what was left was just play money hehe! I'm saving for my BFs bday now in June so I will chill out! There's only 3 more things I definitely want but I'm waiting for a few pay days!
But I am genuinely thankful for your honesty, and I'm glad you have sorted yourself out and have the knowledge to pass on to other people xxxxxx

Thanks so much You're right, I need to take a deep breath and relax. Yeah, the seller seems nice and it's really not her fault. I looked at her buying feed back and she did purchase the murano recently. Wonder why she resold it on ebay. Probably didn't like it I guess, or for the doubting thomas in me, maybe she knows it's not real and didn't want it? Gotta stop over analyzing this.
