Would this be "mean" of me?
Charlotte has a piggy bank which we give to occasionally as well as family members. I counted it yesterday and there is ??35 in it. Now, I was thinking what to with this money.
a) leave it in the piggy bank
b) put it in a bank account (yet to open one for her though)
c) spend it on a toy for her
I'm reluctant to do B as the interest rates are crap at the banks and it will just sit there and do nothing, same with leaving it in the piggy bank really.
I would much prefer to put it towards a smart trike for her. We can't really afford it and if the money is there in her piggy bank we could put it to good use. However, I feel a bit cruel using "her" money, but people have given her the money as a gift and it seems silly to just let it sit there. She would get a lot of joy from the trike and so would we.
What would you do? ?

So far he got ??120 which were using for a cot and he has a piggy bank which you have to break to get the money out and we're waiting till its full till we break it and we'll buy him something big with it (only ??1's and 50ps go in). Ive also been cheeky and asked ppl for money at easter due to him havin enough clothes to last him till hes 1. And id rather buy him a jumperoo with money given (plus our money)
Get her a trike.........and don't feel that you are being 'mean' you're not.

Definitely not mean.
Whats mean is when I robbed ??30 out of Gabe's, so I could go out and spend it on drinks (I put it back, honest!!!)
Mind you TigerLily, that's what I would do too if I really needed a night out.lol. S x
when jessica was born and we were given money by my great aunt, it went towards a bath support for her.
let us know how she gets on with her new trike
I would never have a problem spending lo's money on things for him btw - it's what it's there for! x
We are definately getting the smart trike from ELC. Will get it in time for Easter as my dad & bro coming for lunch on Easter Sunday and they will love pushing her in it. Just hope the weather is going to be nice.
