How did you split up your pocket money?

AskMyChocolate

Okay, assuming you were lucky enough to get pocket money, how did you spend it?

I used to get 4 Blackjacks, 2 Fruit Salads and a Pop ice-pop.

It would be great if a Mod could add a poll as to whether Blackjacks or Fruit Salads were better.

Thinly vieled "I used to get loads of pocket money" thread! rabble rabble :pac:

Mr Benevolent

I didn't. Sweets were God and had to be obeyed, then eaten.

Scioch

Postman Pats

Packet of meanies, touchdown, chomp (maybe two) and a bottle of cadet. Odd time I'd get a fruit salad, Applejack or striker bar.

Add your own poll ya lazy fecker.
See what happens when you're just "given pocket money" instead of having to earn it. You become spoilt. Spoilt is what you become :P

Seriously though, you can add your own poll with all the answers you want by click the thread tools tab at the top of the thread

The same as blackjacks etc only they were pink and blue, if I remember correctly and tasted vaguely fruity. I think if I ate any one of those things now my teeth would break and fall out.

I bought a subscription to worlds most amazing warplanes, some sort of star trek magazine about technical specifications & spent the rest rhubarb and custard sweeties. I was a hardcore nerd.

Worked my arse off for an entire summer picking fruit to buy a super nintendo.... that was a good year...

Penny sweets or suckies as we called them. The Punt could stretch mighty far in a sweet shop back in my day.

Degag

The point here is that they don't make sweets like they used to.

SusieBlue

My favourite magazine, can't remember what it was called, I think it might have been GirlTalk or something like that I used to get 20p worth of jellies too!

I'm worried. The only person that chose Postman Pats is God...

IS THIS A TEST GOD?

We weren't allowed sweets. Well until I was 11/12


I think we got 1 pound a week. Upped to 2 pounds a week a few years later.

Usually bought stickers/paints/fancy pens/other various art supplies. Or hair accessories. And the odd water gun.

Worked full time during the summer/weekends since I was about 14 and spent most of my money on clothes. Way too much money on clothes. Would have saved a fortune if I didn't spend so much money during my teenage years...I was earning enough of it! Oh well.

My brother and I used to combine our pocket money and then go on a spree to the shop. It meant we could get sweets, 2 cans of coke, chocolate and crisps. We were little piggy wiggies, then again, my parents didn't believe in buying junk food and we only occassionally had desserts.

I didn't get pocket money, my parents just gave me money when I asked for it.

£1.29 on 2000AD and then the rest on 10p crisps and Woppa bars.

Dyr

I didn't get pocket money on a weekly basis but we used to scavenge the back of the couch for the many coins that would fall out of the old mans pocket after a hard nights drinking

those 4p lucky bags were my greatest weakness

Then they brought out those big 25p lucky bags and they were like crack, you were constantly grafting to try feed that habit

refreshers and stinger bars came along then, like kiddie PCP

Voodoomelon

I remember I got 75p pocket money. They were the days.

No I had a college fund! Well, my mother did!

I got money if I needed something, or if I had been super awesome at being a daughter, but there was no regular pocket money.

I started helping out at my local equestrian centre at 12 and I got cash in hand for it, until they gave me a paying job at 16. So I had my own money!

we'd go around washing cars for the neighbours then think we were so rich with all our proceeds and buy loads of sweets

dont remember after 10 or so, probs just got stuff if i asked for it

Helix

i didnt get pocket money

i had to get a job if i wanted spending money. so i got a job
