Hey tamborine stop. Just say you have given money because you know he might want to buy some games etc,I think £30 is quite a sum for a 10yr old boy he may just be very grateful.
I would give him a new pinky if I thought I could get away with it; sadly not, money is not acceptable. Books are out since he's raided my library but I've yet to see him engrossed in reading.
I've got a small load of washing on the line while it's blowing. I hope it will be dry before I go down to the canal to do a stint in the Heritage Centre this afternoon. A bit of shop raiding this morning. All go innit! :o}
