Bloody tooth fairy! You can't rely on anyone these days.

DS#2 lost his first tooth last night after much concerted and determined wiggling. Presented it to me v proudly and said he was going to put it under his pillow. As it was so tiny I suggested he put it on the chest of drawers next to his bed. This morning just after breakfast he remembered his tooth . Had to run upstairs, distract him, palm the tooth and replace it with some money. Thank goodness he has no idea of money so that he was pleased with the 20p that was all I could find .

I sometimes think I am not cut out for this mother thing.

DS1 lost his second tooth at school, managed to keep it safe all day and proudly gave it to me at going home time. I put it in my bag (bottomless pit) and it promptly disappeared!! I tipped the bloody thing out, checked the lining etc etc but the tooth was nowhere to be found. Luckily I had kept his first tooth and at bedtime put it under the pillow, DS none the wiser!

Oohhh does your tooth fairy drink wine too ruby? Glad it's not just mine

I don't remember ever getting a visit from teh tooth fairy as a child. But mum swears I did

In our house you text the toothfairy (dh's number under toothfairy on my mobile) and she adds it to her list. Now depending on wind direction, and of course you mustn't drink and fly, she usually arrives at some point within the following few days.

When the tooth fairy was expected in our house last week, ds1 wrote her letter asking for a £20 note as it bled a lot The tooth fairy was not impressed.

£20?

Now that's what I call inflation.

good idea west3. Might suggest that. With any luck DS would have forgotten before the tooth fairy did.

He's just lost another one this evening. Somehow I don't think he'll be trying that trick again
