DG1 is where you'll find the nicer houses and cars and people eating Tesco value grub because they can't afford their lavish lifestyle Though in seriousness, I live in one of the "less desirable" areas of town and checked on that poverty thing. Our street was the only street in the entire area not regarded as a poverty street*. I told a neighbour this a while and he said years ago this street was regarded as Millionaires Row as it was the only street where the houses were all bought [emoji38] * Not sure if it's still the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was younger used to get a £1, I've heard kids getting fivers now. Some inflation rate. We did a fiver for the first one, £1 thereafter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Was 50p when I was a nipper.Can probably stretch to £1 when the baba is a bit older. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'll be explaining to my daughter that we are entering a period of economic recovery and that if she wants more than a £1 for losing her tooth she can go and chat to an NHS nurse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Our young lad got the equivalent of about 3 quid for the 1st couple of teeth. A couple of days later he appeared with a tissue and the remnants of another tooth. It was rice. Had a wee chuckle at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledo Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I feel like the last tooth should be the one that goes up in monetary value. At this rate the tooth fairy will be writing IOUs for the wee one, haven't paid for anything in cash for about a year and all the pound coins have gone to delivery driver tips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggysBeard Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 £1 a tooth. Was 50p for me. Follows the inflating price of a panini sticker pack. Which is what my eldest uses his tooth fairy money on, as did I. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 My mate ended up giving his son a tenner for his first tooth, purely because he didn't have any change.Obviously leading his son to expect this much every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Just been at the Sick Kids with my youngest. We noticed two weekends ago that she had a hair wrapped tightly around the middle toe of her left foot that was cutting into it and stopping the blood flow. Took her to A&E and they thought that they had managed to cut it and get it all out. Sent us home telling us to keep an eye on it and bring her back if we had any concerns. Didn't think it was healing as well as it should and took her back to A&E at the weekend there and they made an appointment to come in to their Plastic Surgery Trauma team (no idea). They had a look at it and discovered that the hair was still in there and have managed to dig it out now. Felt like a monster whilst I'm trying to pin my 1 year old to the trolley whilst this poor lassie is going at her toe with an incredibly sharp looking pair of scissors. Hopefully that's it sorted now, but they've said that if it's cut in deeply enough, it might have damaged the tendons meaning she may have trouble fully flexing her toe as she grows up, but that it's not something that will bother her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 My eldest has been getting assessed since age 3 for autism spectrum related disorders. He's super clever, laser focussed and has a lexicon that would embarass even me. They're now leaning towards a diagnosis of Asperger's / ADHD, which feels like the right fit for him as he gets fixated by topics that interest him, can be socially awkward (less so much "awkward", more over excited and intense in social situations) and can become hyper / emotional at a moment's notice as well as the aforementioned intelligence. He also can have sensory processing issues, like getting overloaded by loud noises or getting flustered and emotional if an item of clothing (for example) doesn't "feel" right to him. He's 7 now and his fine motor skills are behind his peers, but his language and numeracy skills are miles ahead, to the point he can be disruptive in class as he gets bored in lessons, plus he struggles to concentrate unless it's a topic he's interested in, then he's so engrossed he struggles to do anything other than that. Still some way to go before a final confirmed diagnosis, but I don't envisage Asperger's holding him back in life as he's very charming and witty as well as smart as a whip, so hopefully the hyper / emotional edges will round off with time and make him that bit happier overall. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 On regards to the sensory/fine motor, has an occupational therapist assessed him for dyspraxia? Often comes in hand with others mentioned but less diagnosed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often comes in hand with others mentioned but less diagnosed. Not as yet, but he's been tested for balance, hearing and eyesight. Having a look at the NHS info on dyspraxia, I'm not mega concerned as though he can be a bit clumsy and isn't great at things like cutlery and shoelaces, he's perfectly good on roller skates and scooters and with a pen or pencil. I'll definitely keep an eye though and raise it at the next consultation. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
