Thank you gem-gem for running this thread and Twiggy what a great idea, will definitely be doing this for a few of my friends, any chance of sharing your poem please.
Hi Chocoholic
No problem at all - I saved the poem, in case I want to do the same thing with different friends another time. It's nothing amazing, the best I could do that rhymed and within a time frame before losing patience with it :rotfl:
A gift of money I'd love to give
To buy all that you desire
Instead this gift, you must forgive
Is for you to self-acquire.
2 pound coins in here belong
And soon you will attain
A sum around (£)1500 strong
To use for your own gain.
Treat yourself to something nice
And put yourself first
Abandon all thoughts of price
And quench a longing thirst!
You can change the amount to suit the size of pot you gift, I think I only had one big enough for £1500 and the others were around £800.£12k in 2019 #084 £3000/£3000
