Personally…..some very nice Australian shiraz. Perhaps a wee bottle or two of good Chardonay

Bought the kids clobber with it, came in very handy I must say

Gin and fags mostly. Doesn’t everyone?

T Taxi actually uses it for the kids apparently

Just the one kid actually and seemed the right thing to do

Spent the tax credit on beer though

I meant for the kids

I rented a rowing machine with it

Putting it aside to pay for the uni fees (or deposit for a house). At this rate it’ll let the little ‘un about a months worth of a university course.

child what?

Unless it goes into a separate account and you ‘ring-fence’ it, surely it’s just a part of your income and gets spent along with the rest – or do you like talking bollocks?

Beasy
Free money from the Government with no conditions. Paid for by Tax Payers

It goes in a pot with all the rest of the money.

I think wifey uses it for food & clothes for the child.

A gramme of cocaine a week

They have a bank account each and it goes there.

That’s what happens to ours, it becomes part of the household/family budget of which some is spent on the children.

you need to lighten up.
To be serious. Child allowance is not intended to be dumped into general family spend

pox riddled crack addicted single parent teenage whores for me…

My mum gives it to my brother. So he can spend it on clothes/phone/crack/socialising etc.

@djglover you need a better dealer

To be serious. Child allowance is not intended to be dumped into general family spend

Really? What’s its intended use?

School fees

We don’t really spend it on gin and fags. Straight into a building society account for the little ‘un.

We get benefit for two kiddies and our monthly food/nappy bill has gone up by around £400 a month so it simply goes towards that.

Oh, didn’t realise – so looking back over the last month, it could have gone on any of the following:

*Ti/XTR/carbon, the wife horses, good wine, petrol for the V8, Jimmy Choo shoes, car tax for the 4×4, DVD’s/CD’s or possible just basic food and drink – or maybe it just subsidises my sons’ school fees?

*Select whichever winds you up most.

And both been self-employed, we’ll be able to ‘sort’ our income to make sure we still get it after the proposed changes 😉

So what IS it to be spent on if not the family, of which the child/ren are a significant part.

I spend mine on children. You have to save up for a few weeks for a good one though.
