Sure after the wedding most likely comes the house; sofas in DFS; bedroom suites in Harvey norman; citroen picasso's at Gowen; then sprog farming - all thats very very expensive and the man is expected to be the bread winner - so I certainly see your friends logic of avoiding more debt.

Nice gesture I thought, until I took it to a shop to check it and realised it was a ticket for the lotto before my birthday, so obviously not even a chance of a winner :rolleyes: Who sends an old lottery ticket as a gift? I mean come on, a couple of scratch cards would have been less scabby!

Having said that I know it wasn't exactly 1950 that the tradition of the brides family contributing towards all or most of the costs of the big day died out...used to be the case up until quite recently for many I am aware off....

I went to a different pharmacy last week and the stingy gits gave me 28 days worth. Still charged me for the full months as I am sure they will argue that February is a month and has 28 days.

Prescriptions are usually marked "x28" or similar, not "x month".
