Good News

Remember that missing engagement ring story from earlier this week...

We have an update!

OKAY, LET’S RECAP.

Earlier this week we had:

One found engagement ring.
One Lidl in Rathfarnham.
One call to arms.

You shared it on Facebook, you tweeted it, some of you even emailed it.

Then this happened…

A spokesperson from Lidl’s customer service had this to say: “On behalf of ourselves and Carmel we would like to send them [the good samaritan] our sincere thanks!”

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together.
