    Bad Mother...that means he might learn the value of money and of having to wait for things instead of instant gratification...

    How will he cope? ;)

    he just offered me a pound towards tomorrow's lunch as I just told him we have to go out and get milk to get change - sweet eh? I do still need milk though so we'll have to go out.

    :wave:

    Yes I have returned after having burned through all my remaining holiday entitlement. However read something just before I left where they said I could carry them forward... :rolleyes:

    A pound bribe so not to expose him as a wuss in cold wind? Insist on more... ;)

    it's all the money he has available - all the rest is in his sealed tin! so it was a very generous offer. it's still blowing a gale up here but no snow like the weatherman predicted (yet).

    I saw a weather forecast on GMTV with the proper weather girl and there was snow here but flicked over again about 5 mins later and they had the scottish forecast which said rain/sunshine/rain and lots of wind which was more accurate!
    Have a good weekend Beanie.
