It was a news item and the amount asked for was.....................are you sitting down..???????????????? £500!!

I'm afraid I don't live in THEIR world!!

A few years ago we went to my friends parents Golden Wedding party, and everyone was asked instead of buying a gift, to put "gold" into a huge pot. All their children got together to pay for a cruise, and as guests we all provided the "spending money".
Now I thought that was a lovely idea, being married so long they didn't need homeware gifts etc, but they had a holiday with memories to last their lifetimes. xx
