I was washing my face in the morning when I got a bad shock; my earring was missing! Or rather, what was left on my ear was just the stick and the metal thing behind my earlobe to hold it in place. The heart was missing.

After a frantic search, I found the metal heart-shaped piece on my pillow and try as I could, the metal thing absolutely refused to adhere itself to the stick. Imagine this: You've tried everything from wood glue to super glue and after about 6 hours when you thought the glue would have dried and stuck it on for good, you pick up the earring, poke it with a toothpick and the stick comes right off with the solid glue attached. Bleah! And there was totally no mark on the heart-shaped piece!

Any suggestions anybody? I didn't take D&T in secondary school so I know nuts about this kinda stuff.

Mummy in all her wisdom finally concluded, "It's impossible to repair a broken heart." I want to prove her wrong. =(

I'm terribly sorry for breaking it. I will never go to sleep with my earrings on again!
