I just read a blog post on BritMums asking parent bloggers to say what our children do or would do, with pocket money. So here is my entry for the BritMums and pktmny blog challenge linky.For D it’s always the same, his pocket money goes into his bank via standing order each week and he saves until he’s reached his goal.

The other evening I snapped a lovely couple of photos of my boys, during a rare occurrence, we were all playing family games together. Sadly the smiles didn’t last long, Jen had a temper tantrum and ran off saying was unfair, despite him majorly wining. He had thousands, we only had a couple of hundred notes each, and he had properties with hotels! Was cute, while it lasted.
