They are more expensive that the glass ones, but probably safer.

My nan had an outside toilet on her farm untill she left in the late 90's. Also only a good ol' fashioned tin bath in the living room. So it was sink baths most of the time. She lived a hard life including 4 heart attacks and about 4 hours sleep a night and ran that farm with her son as my Granddad stayed in London during the week doing security work.
Never once did you hear her complain.
Miss you Nan.

Just about to set off, I am more excited than a man of my age should be.

Looks real to me... Wonder if the Ct stands for carat, so the band might well be gold at least... Could be silver overlay for the setting. If the colour has come off the back of the blue one, then I wonder if the stone was a couplet. It's often done to cut costs, producing a showy ring at a lower price point.
+1 for taking it to a jeweller to get it checked out.
Recently I picked up a sugar bowl in a box of assorted kitchenalia in a charity shop. Bowl was hand chased in a floral pattern, too "nice" for junk. Turned out it was 800 silver, so that was kind of cool.

Yellow sticker hunting in Tesco today. The place was heaving, totally crazy. They did the final reductions early, before Big Hair turned up, so I didn't really need my sharpened elbows for a change.
Not so much in the way of chilled stuff today, but plenty of fruit plus bread and pastries from the bakery. By not being fussy, I now have a fortnight's worth of groceries.
Usually I wait till stuff goes into final reductions, but sometimes, if there's something I'd like and I don't want to chance it, I'll bite at a lower markdown - as I did today. Picked up a half side of salmon for £5.90 shortly after I arrived - they rarely crop up on YS. There were only two; the other one went out the back, but never came back out. Mind, I'm happy, as I now have salmon to make my Christmas Gravadlax.

I purchased 200g of a particular cheese yesterday, priced at £1.80/100g. By my maths, this comes to £3.60
The same cheese counter had a 200g truckle of the same cheese. This was ambitiously priced at £5.50
You will all be relieved to hear that whilst pondering this conundrum, I enjoyed a nice tea cake.
