i never got sweets hardly went onany  school trips we didnt have much of anything ( my mum was a single mum with 1 son and 5 daughters) but i can honestly say i had a brillent child hood

Maybe I am going wrong here but I care for my granddaughter who will be 8 in May, she get her family allowance money I think it is about £67 a month as her allowance, but she buys her games boy games and DVD's out of this money and if she sees a top or something in town if she really wants it she pays for it, I buy her most of her other clothing, she saves for holidays money, she saved over £650 for her Tibetan Spaniel to show.

I think it makes her take the responsability for Mabel more seriously and the dog is devoted to her, she get treats bought out of Savannah money and I pay her main food bills..Entries are her responsability. collar leash etc.

Savannah is home educated so I do not think she has the pier pressure for things that are fadish, It is her cash and she knows when it is finished she has no more until next pay day.
