Olbasoil · 31/12/2011 20:06

According to me.... 50p

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 31/12/2011 20:08

£1 per tooth

dontletthebellsend · 31/12/2011 20:16

£1. Sometimes it might take her a few nights to get round to it, because of a backlog, possibly. Blush

sheeesh · 31/12/2011 20:22

£1 a tooth and I keep hold of any shiny coins I pick up so that the tooth fairy can leave a shiny coin each time!

Seona1973 · 31/12/2011 20:52

we do £2 for the first tooth and £1 for the rest of them

pchick · 31/12/2011 20:53

£1 per tooth.

Same as Seona1973

A nice shiney £1! Dont forget to put it under the pillow as we did recently! Had to pretend the tooth fairy was late on her round and didnt arrive till 9 a m. Whoops! (think we got away with it though!)Smile

Another same as Seona1973. We also found a small box and put tooth in it, then under the pillow - found it much easier than scrambling around looking for tooth under the pillow at stupid o clock.

TheFogsGettingThicker · 31/12/2011 22:23

£1 per tooth - and the tooth fairy will be making a visit here tonight too.

I gave DD an extra big sudden hug and knocked the tooth out Blush

Cue piercing screams and scary blood over her chin.

Must. Not. Forget. Tooth. Fairy.

FogsGettingDrunker Tell her tooth lost on New Year's Eve is especially lucky and merits additional funds

Was the tooth even loose????

HappyHippyChick · 31/12/2011 23:37

£1 in our house too. We are also expecting the tooth fairy tonight, made a bit more complicated by the fact the kids are sleeping at my sisters tonight! We persuaded ds2 that the tooth fairy would go to his bed rather than where he was so when I forget there is more time for the tooth fairy to visit!

YonderRevoltingPeasantWhoIsHe · 01/01/2012 00:53

Fogs once my mum threw a softball (rounders ball) at DSis2, knocking her tooth out and flooring her.

These things happen!

(Her tooth wasn't loose, but fortunately was a milk one....)

rushofbloodtothefeet · 01/01/2012 00:56

It tends to depend on how much the tooth fairy has had to drink Blush

Dee03 · 01/01/2012 01:04

1st tooth £2 then £1.....

MartyrStewart · 01/01/2012 01:06

Gosh, we do 20p here Blush

fiodyl · 01/01/2012 01:22

The tooth fairy is having a busy night tonight, she is due to visit our house as well- hope she hasn't had too much wine.

DD only lost her 1st tooth on xmas day but has managed to wiggle a 2nd wobbly tooth out this evening to leave under her pillow. A pound coin is left in our house, wrapped up in a little note- which actually excites DD more than the money does.

BlissfulMistletoe · 01/01/2012 01:23

dc1 has not lost a tooth yet, but i suspect she may leave a £2 coin 1st visit then £1 after.
