    Now he is telling me that he is going to buy 2nd hand blackberry from "his" friend and the phone is on Orange:eek: and it could be locked too.:eek::eek: He said Orange is doing £10/month - me said there is no way me will pay £10/month & he said "I'll contribute the other £5" me said " where are you going to get the money?" he said " I have some" me said ok, what happen when you run out of money?"

    I don't give any of my kids pocket money - they only get monies from me when they need to buy something with my approval.

    My son is a bit crafty! he gets £2 a day for school dinner & he will not spend all £2 any change he built it up:mad::mad: kept teling him to eat proper lunch food & if he needs more than £2 for food me willing to give but knowing him, he keeps it!:eek:

    Told him when I was his age - I dont have this type of priviledge. He said "well, we are living in a modern world and I have more friends than you". Cheeky bu99er

    That's a good deal Doc :T

    On the subject of school dinners.....I had to stop my DS1 with lunch money - he was using it to go to shop to get sweets :eek::eek::eek: had a ding dong with school over it - asked how they were allowed out of premises at 11...thought it was only when they got to Year 11.....we can't watch them all the time was the reply :eek::mad:

    How is DS now Aesop? My baby has gone to bed but is very unsettled and I have been a frequent visitor to a certain room in my house all day _pale_

    Hello to everyne else :) No Blue today?

    Actually, if & when he purchase the 2ndhand BBM from his friend for £50 - I might get him the Orange contract.

    12months @ £10.50/month = £126 less tcb £50.50 (if they are tracked & pay out) = nett £75.50 = £6.29/month & I shall make him pay me back £5 (to go into x'mas fund where they distribute amongst themselves:rotfl:)
