DD1 tells me the going rate is £50 for an A* but I think she's trying to fleece me.

We did award our children when they did GCSE's. But not for the grades they got. We awarded them for the effort they put in towards their GCSE's. DD1 got 6 A"s and 4 B's which was good for her but DD3 who has learning difficulties only got one C the rest were D's and E's but that was good for her.

Ummm NOOOO the time to haggle is before the exams are taken!! :o

The money should be an incentive to study really hard so that you can get the £x not just after you get the results "oh you owe me £x"

Tell her she missed the boat but you're open to discussion about A-level's

DS4 is the 5th of my DC to do GCSEs. We will all go for a meal at the weekend to celebrate but no £s will be handed over. He always struggled with english because of dyslexia so to me the C grades in english language and lit are worth more than his A* and As in everything else.
