The ring is a lovely gesture, it doesn't matter what you spend on a gift it's the thought that counts and if that's all they could afford in these times then I'm sure everyone would be happy for them. BUT if we went through 6 months of stories and added up everything that had been spent in that house they could have put a deposit down on the "dream home"never mind purchase a decent ring. My husband was furloughed for 6 weeks then back to work and I have worked all the way through, we both have decent fairly stable jobs and I am still scared to buy anything that isn't essential in case that changes and also because I know many people who are not in the same position and are really struggling just now. My husband would not have chosen to take 1p of furlough money as he has always worked for what he earned and was the first in his company back to work - I struggle to watch people on social media who are still furloughed splashing cash on unnecessary tat. Furlough has been a lifesaver for many including my family but people should be a bit more mindful that people are really struggling just now x
