Pocket money did you used to get as a kid...

Up until the age of 12 I think I got £5 per week. Then from 12 upwards I got £20 per week but always managed to con an extra tenner of my dad and then my granddad used to come visit over the weekend and used to give us £20...

Didn't get much as we didn't have much money. So at 12 years old I got a paper route to earn my own money. Been working one job or another ever since then.

It wasnt that much...to be honest I cant remember the exact amount but as soon as I was old enough I got a Saturday job so didn't care.

About 50p if I remember right - that was when a 5p mix bag gave you a sugar rush for a week! Once I got to 12 or 13 I got evening and Sunday paper rounds and a Saturday job in a shop so was quite a wealthy kid

You were spoilt lol

Never really got pocket money as such but if i was going anywhere my mum would give me money.

I got a paper round and used to baby sit from about 13 so had my own money,my mum stopped giving me any.

And at 14 got a weekend job n still baby sat for neighbours n family so used to earn about £80 of my own.

So you were on £50 a week at 12 ?

That's more than my first wage packet

(B)

My pocket money was 50p a week until I started work.

Not every week..If I was naughty or my mum and dad did not have the money I would get less.. It depended really.
