Ask FondA
DEAR FONDA
,
Is there a polite way
to ask for money from guests
instead of gifts, or is this bad
etiquette? We’ve got all the
toasters we need – but could do
with funds to decorate our house!
This really all depends on the calibre of
your guests – I mean, if they’re the
type to pick up your gifts from a car
boot sale, you’re
pretty
much
screwed because
the refund policies at
those places are pretty much nil, and
people rarely sell anything worth
having at those events. I once sold
all the junk in my attic and made
enough money to get a boob job
– that’s what you call tit for tat!
They really are a place for people
who are just one step shy of
rooting through skips.
But if you have wealthy guests,
just place a gift list at Harrods, and then
you can take all the unwanted gifts back to one
place. At £250 a toaster in their bargain
basement, even if you do end up returning 15
toasters, that’s £3,750 – so you would just about
be able to decorate the downstairs loo in Farrow
and Ball wallpaper.
DEAR FONDA
, I have really short legs, and my
dress makes me look really squat without heels
– but I just can’t walk in them! What do I do?
Ahhhh, I had this same problem (not the inability
to walk in heels, OBVIOUSLY!) but more the general
inability to walk at my wedding, as I needed to be
