She wants to waste spend her birthday money. We have just survived a trip to Costco where she wanted a giant teddy which fortunately unfortunately they only stock at Xmas. So now she wants to spend it elsewhere. She has plenty of toys and plenty of soft toys too....

Can you not direct her to spending it on a day out or something? If not tell her mummy is tired maybe next week

Smyths have a Lego event in store today. Free poly bag and free building stations too- kids can take home the poly bag plus whatever they build.

So of all the days to go, today might be a good one? Especially if she’s into Lego

We took our boys down this morning and they came out with a stack of free Lego they were so happy with that they didn’t actually buy much else (just a £2.99 lego figure each)

It is obviously burni g a hole in her pocket but could she save some and spend some.

She loves Lego...we are off. (I do save/invest some money for later in the year. I just can't bare any more soft toys.)

I used to direct my kids on what they could buy hopefully she will be distracted by lego

We are proud owners of a 3ft stuffed dog called 'blackite'. 😂 I tried every trick in the book....including suggesting we put more money to a big Sylvanian families set...there was no movement. But there was a big grin when she got it.
