Maybe I live in a parallel universe or perhaps I'm just a very cynical, untrusting person anyway, I'll let you all decide!
Earlier on while I was on the phone, DH answered the door to a total stranger (I could see it was 2 women, one about 35-40, one about 20, the older one was at the door and did the talking) as far as I know they aren't neighbours of ours - I didn't recognise them.
They proceeded to ask DH of he would sponsor them for the Race for Life. He (understandably) felt he couldn't say no, so he sponsored her and she said she'd be back for the money later.
I got off the phone and was shocked. Don't you generally just ask friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you? And couldn't they just be pocketing the money?
I thought it was a bit of a cheek to be honest cue loads of Mnetters telling me they've done this and I do live in a parallel universe
