My mom kept all my baby teeth in a little jar and gave them to me when I moved out along with old school assignments and other childhood memorabilia. Same thing happened to my husband. Maybe we’ll start a family tooth jar?

I now can't help but imagine all the jars/tubs/boxes of teeth that must exist in houses around the world!

I just put £5 in the tooth fairy envelope last night. He was surprised this morning, usually he only gets £2 he tells me… oh well.

Brodie got £10 for the first tooth as he knocked it half way out falling over in the playground and had to go to the dentist to get it removed. We let him keep that tooth. But I stupidly printed out a little letter template and wrote him a note from the tooth fairy and made an envelope for it.

Now of course I’m stuck crafting letters and envelopes every time which is why it was 11.30 last night and I was just shoving whatever money I could find into it.

I should have been prepared really as this tooth has been hanging there for about two months. Came out yesterday as he bit into a macaroni pie and then shouted “What’s this hard thing?” as if Aldi’s quality control had let him down.

Tooth two he swallowed with his breakfast without noticing and tooth three he knocked out rolling round on the floor and kneed himself in the face.

Tooth three went in the bin but somehow it felt like a crime so tooth four is currently hidden in my storage footstool… must find the courage to bin it before he finds it and the whole tooth fairy mirage is destroyed…

Oh no! I have to admit, the letters and envelopes are a super-cute touch! I'm glad it's you rather than me, though 😆

Max's tooth had also been hanging grimly on for weeks... It first started wobbling back in October, so in some ways I can't help feeling the £10 was somewhat justified!

Cleaning out my late father in law’s house a few weeks ago I found a little decorative tin that rattled. When I opened it I screamed. It was full of teeth. And I’m not usually a screamer!

Oh, I’d have screamed at that too! Do you at least know who the teeth belonged to?!

Well, I HOPE they belonged to my husband and his brothers…

If not, you have an excellent opening scene for a horror movie right there!

£10 a tooth is the worst inflation indicator going. So much worse than £8 pints. I am aghast.

It’s certainly a disappointing sign of the times; I feel like more people should be talking about it!

It sounds like scotland has rampant inflation when it comes to the tooth fairy! And what to do with the teeth?

I know of one grandma who had her grandchildrens baby teeth set into dangly gold earrings!

But that was in Amsterdam. 😃

OMG! I think I’ll probably steer clear of the teeth jewellery, but I have to hand it to her, that’s an amazingly creepy idea! It must have been quite the ice-breaker at parties!

£10 per tooth! I'm in my 20s and it was 50p per tooth for me as well unless we lost multiple in one day in which it became the equivalent!

Inflation has really hit hard!
