Tooth Fairy - Going Rate?

Jammygal

I give a pound each also but dd told me that 'some children at school' have 1 pound for the first tooth, two for the second, three for the third etc
Don't know whether this is factual or wishful thinking

£2 for the 1st. £1 after that. I have been told of a tooth fairy that leaves £5, but she doesn't cover our street.;)

A shiny £2 coin is the going rate in our house



I got 20p per tooth when I was little.

Blimmin inflation :rolleyes:

I've got a tooth missing in the front !
Can i give you the £2, and have one yours, instead of the fairy taking it.

My dds get £1 for each tooth but DD2 (8) always leaves a note asking for more and a little bit of fairy dust to prove she is real.

She often asks to meet the tooth fairy at the window at a certain time too...........once she waited patiently with me for the fairy to appear and eventually she convinced herself that she saw her for a fleeting moment! (I think it was a small fly or something!)

It's £1 in our house. DS2 is 12 so not too many more to go.:D

I used to get 6d.:rolleyes:

£1 for first then 50p thereafter... worked great:D

£1 for a tooth I think that is the going rate with her school friends too.

I'm a tight fairy too -50p in our house;) Mind you we had a brief period when all 3 were losing teeth at the same time so it would have got a bit expensive if we were more generous.

I don't think 'our' tooth fairy would be able to oblige with more than whatever the going rate was, but she would probably leave a note (tiny spidery font on the computer) explaining that.

:rotfl: tooth fairy sometimes gets held up, of course.

I was walking home with DS1 once when one of his little friends tagged along with us, and proudly showed me the tooth he'd lost that day at school which he was taking home. His plan was to put it in a glass of water under his pillow, so I asked why. "I am going to drown the tooth fairy" was his explanation. :eek:

Visions of a rather wet bed flitted through my mind so I was glad when we bumped into his mum and I could tell her what he was planning to do! :rotfl:
