Question For The Tooth Fairies

[phleb]

What kind of things have you put under the pillows for the kids? My hubby puts a tenner for the first tooth and then we put pound or two for each of the rest.

I only used to get six old pence, I remember my daughter getting fifty pence, I dont think I could afford children these days !

[mccfluff]

WHAT???

i used to get 20p

my how times have changed it used to be coins e.g half a crown when I was a kid, ten pounds seems a bit OTT is that the going rate ?

[ethandron]

Yikes, they must be pretty rich tooth fairies round you!
It's many moons since we've had a visit from the tooth fairy but I think a tenner is probably a bit much to be honest, probably £1 would do, or maybe £2 coin. Or maybe I'm just out of touch :(

[viv38]

A tenner - WOW !

[jim360]

I got 50p for molars and 20p otherwise :(

[phleb]

I thought a tenner was crazy when hubby did that as my parents only put twenty pence there if they remembered to. But the tenner was only for the first tooth mind ;-)

[Robinia]

A tenner seems way too much for a child of around five (?).

Think my youngest grandson got £2 for his first tooth then £1 thereafter.

Hi phleb, 50p tops !!

[ummmm]

£1.

[phleb]

Hi flump xx

When my girls were little it was 50p per tooth, due to inflation (and an 8 year gap between children 2 and 3) it went up to £1 per tooth.

As above, I was promised and received a quilted dressing gown if I passed the exam, my older sister had received one two years previously. They were the epitome of wonderfulness in the 60s, my first grown up item of clothing and I had it for years and years.
The first Christmas once i started at the grammar school, I asked for and got a black plastic document case, no handle and a zip on three sides, to use instead of the leather satchel which had been passed down to me. And a black polo neck jumper. And felt very lucky that I received those..and only those..two presents.
How times change, just thinking of the tooth fairy :)

[ethandron]

Oops, thought I'd started a new thread...about the 11+

I used to get sixpence for a double tooth and a threepenny bit for a single tooth. I was born in 1953 though.

[lozzer50]

A tenner blimey! i got a penny if i was lucky !!

[Old_Geezer]

Just leave an IOU from the Tooth Fairy.

A teener's far too much, IMO - a silver coin (well, silver-coloured) is quite enough for a little person to start saving.
