Lol Tec :-D

Well I think I will have an early night I feel really tired after today.

Good night Linda and Tec <3

Enjoy your day Sue and any other down-unders who pop in <3

Was jet jewellery worn when a person was in mourning? I thought I read that somewhere. I remember someone on Antiques Roadshow bringing in a necklace and brooch - she was amazed at how much they were worth.

Our posts must have crossed Diane :-)

Wow Tec over a hundred years old, most jet jewellery was made for funeral wear many years ago, I like small jet set in a piece of jewellery but not keen on pieces that are just jet.

Jet was very fashionable in Victorian/Edwardian times, but you don't often see it worn today, especially the heavy necklaces.

That necklace will be worth a lot Tec, the old pieces are very expensive

Diane I just wanted to make sure somebody read it :-D

I saw a lot of jet jewellery in Whitby - it is very expensive but I don't really like it. I bought a little glass snail from one of the shops :-)

The Duchess has a beautiful jet necklace that was her grandmother's. We have a photo of her wearing it about 1910. Each bead has eight sides, but it is a bit too junky to wear these days.

Tec have you got a twitch, you have 3 post :-D

Thank you Sue, I'v have already posted why office work would be a problem even though I wouldn't mind doing it.
My other problem is getting to a job with my annoying fear of going out :-(

They still make jet jewellery there are several shops selling it. It is very expensive

Yes Tec I am disappointed :-(
When I was there today there was a lady there who obviously had cancer and to be there Atos must have found her fit for work at her assessment so that says it all doesn't it :-|

I hope it isn't to long before you get the ramp done as it would be a help to have it in place for summer.

How strange - my last post "jumped" another post, then reappeared :-)

I do know that Linda is refined - they even allowed her to walk on the same carpet as Her Majesty :-D

Hello Diane - that's disappointing for you :-(. As Linda said - office work may be the go.

Sounds like you had a nice day in Whitby Linda despite the fog.

Diane - OH said thank you for your best wishes :-)

Linda I think the appeal is the end of the line but I am going to ring my last DWP adviser tomorrow as she said if I lost the appeal I was to get in touch with her so she could help me as much as she could.
I don't have any qualification's to get an office job as most want English and math's qualifications and I don't have any, they also like you to have a good knowledge of excel and other IT and I don't have them either :-(

Sue I have a really good book on succulents, but it is rather heavy, or I would send it to you.

Linda do they still find bits of jet at Whitby?

Hello Diane, Sorry to see that you lost your appeal, you must be disappointed, but I understand that you need to be practically dead to win those appeals. :-(
No news on the ramps yet, it all takes time.
I have a man in the village coming to have a look this week, though I know he has lots of work on.

Just lie in the shade and get your OH to fan you Sue, he can do that sitting down and it will give him something to do :-D

Hello Diane, Is the appeal the end of the line? Can you go after office work rather than what you have been doing?
