none - she will pilfer money left on the bedside cabinet (and share it with her brother) but she doesnt get set pocket money.

My DD1 is 5 and she doesn't get a set amount but her and DD2 (3) get 20p a job. they have to keep their room tidy and clear the table after meals along with a couple of other things but if they do those things then they earn 20p for every job I 'advertise'! I start the request with would you like to earn 20p so there is no doubting if its worth money and with the different ages there are different standards I expect from them.

ds is 5yo and doesn't get regular pocket money. He sometimes gets given money as reward for good behaviour, or from relatives. The amount varies from £1 to £10 depending on situation.

DS (5) gets £1 a week when he remembers (which is very rarely)

Recently, he decided he wanted to earn 5p for every night that he went to bed sensibly (i.e. without getting up a million times and for sleeping in his own bed all night) and also for being helpful in the morning (getting dressed, setting table for breakfast etc) so max of 10p a day. He never earns 70p a week . I have no idea how he decided this but he has no concept of the value of money and 5p is no different to £5 in his eyes.
