    Mine get £1 if the mummy tooth fairy comes and 50p when the daddy tooth fairy comes. Suffice to say mummy tooth fairy stops daddy tooth fairy from putting the money under the pillow but sometimes she does forget.
    Loving the dtd thread. x

    Mine get £1 but I learnt off a friend of mine that if the tooth is dirty then the tooth fairy leaves dirty coppers (how many is to her discretions depending on the state of the tooth) always a good insentive for when kiddies are getting a bit slopy with cleaning their teeth.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    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. :)
    Good thinking. Definitely priceless. I'd best start saving.
    That's Numberwang!

    remember the tooth fairy leaves nothing for rotted teeth, or teeth with fillings... it helps the toothbrush scrub for a bit longer;)
