I am a very "small gvt please" person!!!!!

but sorry for those who have lost out....

My husband said exactly the same thing and was proved right, I have never told Adam about it either and hope at 18 he might be sensible enough not to blow it - not that it will cover much by then I guess
They also have bank accounts - I hope again that they won't be silly and put the money to good use, rather than blowing it. Perhaps they will 'forget' about them till I am sure they are sensible enough to put to good use
