    Morning! Back is feeling slightly better today so I'm going to get going with the lounge again. Hopefully by the time Mr G gets home at 12 the floor will be clear and the area under the fishtank will be ready for him to put a shelf in, then I can put the boxes of toys I have in there easily.

    Hugs to those who need them! :love:

    Actually I think I may be able to manage this as well!

  • Morning everyone,

    First proper week of trying and doing very well so far. More than halfway through the lists.

    Toothfairy rates around here are £2 per tooth, its not good. Only DD1 lost any so far, so going to have a lot of toothfairy visits over the next few years:eek: .

    What is the £ value for a tooth these days?

    Well if you get one of those little wooden tooth boxes they are cunningly designed to nicely fit a £1 coin :rotfl:.

    Our going rate is £1 a tooth, and even though DD1 is 12 now and still losing baby teeth and stopped believing in the tooth fairy at the same time as she stopped believing in Father Christmas (which was when she was in year 6) she still gets the money :D
