My daughter has lost two of her teeth. We put £2 under her pillow. OH put it under her pillow last time but forgot to take the tooth. :rolleyes: The tooth fairy had to come again the next night to get it and left another £2. :rotfl::j little fire cracker born 5th November 2012 :j0

Sometimes the tooth fairy has a long and busy night and pops in during the day ...
And by the time they are in their teens, the baby teeth are so ground down that no self-respecting fairy really WANTS them! :rotfl: (Yes, the youngest was still losing teeth in his teens ...)Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
Used to be £2 but is down to £1 now that the teeth are older and a bit more used.
She got 20 euros from the tooth fairy the night before we went on holiday to Europe, obviously M&S bureau de change hadn't added in any small denomination Euros for the tooth fairy's wallet that day, bet the TF was gutted.:eek:Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19
Balance 19th April '07 = minus £27,640
Balance 1st November '09 = mortgage paid off with £1903 left over. Title deeds are now ours.0 -

DS1 has his first wobbly tooth ... he is very excited about the fact that the Tooth Fairy is going to visit and leave him, wait for it, £1.50!!!!
Is that really the going rate? Unfortunately he is a very savvy 6 year old and he knows his coins! Apparently £1.50 is the going rate.
I remember getting 10p and being over the moon! And I'm not that ancient!
Ours (6&8) got £2 ($2 for eldest) for the first and £1 for the rest.
But I also think £1 and then 50p would be fine. Whatever you are comfortable with.
ETA: If he's 'expecting' £1.50 I would personally leave that. I certainly wouldn't leave more and your 'smugness' when he tells you he was right all along will make you smile/chuckle to yourself. Priceless parenting moment.
