carrieq Report post Posted May 16, 2006 I have just got a parcel through the post. It has no postmark and the stamps haven't been stamped IYKWIM. Inside the parcel is a string of pearls, no note, card or anything to say who it is from. Have phoned dh and he swears it is nothing to do with him so I am completely stumped!!

annie Report post Posted May 16, 2006 Hi Carrie, That is weird . All I can think of is, if they came via a parcel delivery service, to call them. We had a boxed set of DVDs delivered to us a few months ago, same thing, no note or anything. The parcel was delivered by a courier company, so I called them. The company told me the name of where they came from and said HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!. We waited a while and took them back (we said they were an unwanted present ) and were given ?200 in gift vouchers Annie xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie Report post Posted May 16, 2006 Er without stating the obvious, you know what a pearl necklace is right - and I am not talking the jewellery! As for IYKWIM - means "If you know what I mean". Sounds like someone is hinting - if your DH doesn't know anything about it, he should be very concerned!!!

What does a pear necklace stand for? Apart from some very p'd off oysters! Edited May 16, 2006 by Lauren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viper Report post Posted May 16, 2006 Carrie, if its a really expensive one it's mine, I ordered it last week, it must have been sent to you by mistake. If it's a cheap one then it's all yours. String of pearls by TheNeils definition. Yuk!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Report post Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) DPF & Carrieq I have sent you both a PM, but it was still quite difficult to explain to people that I don't really know! It's the kind of thing that's easy to discuss with friends, but I didn't want to offend either of you as I don't really "know" you, only on this site............. Carrieq - all this aside, did you ever find out where the pearl necklace came from??? Edited May 16, 2006 by Jill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie Report post Posted May 16, 2006 Ha ha ha!!! It's not just the pearl necklace that's funny - it's the whole receiving one in the mail and being totally oblivious to the meaning (sorry!) I think your husband is having a bit of a joke with you. It's the kind of thing mine would do. If only men could produce diamonds eh ... we'd all be a lot happier and more willing!! Oh too funny!

oracle Report post Posted May 16, 2006 I hope someone knows me well enough to pm the meaning of a string of pearls PLEASE?
