Her money or mine?

[GreatBallsOfFluff]

DD now nearly 7 got a Wendy house for Xmas when she was 2. We all chipped in for it (my mum, me and I think my sister though can't quite remember). Anyway I'm trying to sell it and may have found a buyer willing to pay £80 (its in excellent condition as never been outside).

I was going to just use this money for general household kitty stuff (tbh could use it) or towards DDs birthday, but it dawned on me that as its a Xmas present present, then technically is it her money? She doesn't have pocket money as although she's not spoilt, somethings she wants I'll buy her and others i wont (generally based on financial situation at the time or if I've spoiled myself with something recently).

So wwyd? Keep the money or put it in DDs bank account where her birthday and Xmas money goes - used for big things she wants?

Ok thank you everyone for your messages, it's given me food for thought. I think if I didn't put it in her bank account, it would go towards her birthday party/present. There are lots of times in the past where she has wanted something (a wii game, or Buzz Lightyear are two examples I can think of off the top of my head) where I have said she'll have to pay half for them out of her bank, but then I haven't taken the money. But I do think that you're right and the money should go to her, and maybe I can use it to get a slightly more extravagent present for her birthday then I normally would.
