My beer wouldn't taste right if I knew I was paying £5 an hour to drink it. Our sitter used to charge £2 an hour but we used to always pay a bit extra.

My daughter, who is 17, says that £3.50 per hour seems fine.

I get my house trashed, all my sweets eaten and one of the cats needs stress counselling afterwards, plus I have to pay if we go out anywhere. I guess that's the thing about Aunties. We're the unpaid babysitters with deep pockets, endless patience and a large supply of Smarties.
