One of my parents did that as they only like dealing with easy amounts to withdraw from the bank. I charge extra for each meal so tea for the week is £7.50 although she pays £10.00, they do it all the time :clapping:

i want a parent like that!! :laughing: i always tell my hairdresser she is undercharging and pay her a bit extra - last time she came i decided i was happy with my hair and so she just cut DH's and DS's and only asked for £7!!! :eek: it would have cost her more than that in petrol so i paid her £15. ;)
