What's the tooth fairys going rate these days?

[nldm1]

DS lost his first baby tooth today, bless him :-)
When I was little we got 20p, but that won't buymuch of anything these days, so I was just wondering what other people gave.

I don't recall tooth fairy money being something that was ever used to buy books or toys, it was a little bit of money that you could save up to buy a magazine or something with. I have no intention of giving my son 2 pounds (or five pounds -eek!) just because a tooth fell out, and I just don't buy these 'inflation' arguments.

Mind you, I remember at high school some kids got 10 quid for every exam they passed (more if it was an A) - I could never understand that either - god knows what the 'going rate' would be if we're increasing to keep up with inflation (50 quid an exam???)

I do offer £50 for a Pass, £100 for a Merit and £150 for a Distinction with the dtds music grading exams.

Cost me £250 last time round.

not a stealth boast oh no not at all

badidea, but inflation is real. 20p in 1977 would buy the same as about one pound now.

Alpa - I've been in a discussion about rewards for music exams - you are in a whole league of your own! Paying £50 for a pass seems like money for nothing!

illuminat inflation may well be real, but I got 10p for my teeth, I reckon I'm being pretty generous to doubling it to 20p for his teeth (£1 a tooth is like pocket money - way to much for me to handover (But I confess, I am a skinflint :-D

250 quid for music exam passes? I'm speechless!

Whoops: £5 a tooth. Our Tooth Fairy Very Generous!

I have to admit our tooth fairy started off paying only 10p, and I then relented and doubled it to 20p! I see it as a bit of fun, rather than serious money to go and buy a present with. Children get more than enough presents as it is IMO.

Five pounds for the first one, one pound thereafter.
