Is it just me or is anyone else thinking you have to let your kids live their own lives? If she's had £35 stolen, that is a lesson for her to learn (that you do not leave your bag etc unattended when there are valuables in it). I think it is going a bit far to say she should not carry cash now and should only ever carry a card to buy bigger purchases with.
She is going to have to learn how to look after cash safely at some point in her life.
Yeah, she has learnt her lesson, we both have. That's why we're being sensible and giving some thought to the alternative to carrying cash. Thanks to the helpful people on here, we've got the solution.
The lecture really wasn't necessary, that wasn't what I came on here for.0
