I’m a 36-year old married mum of one but my parents still give me £1200 a month & a £1k Christmas bonus

WHEN Lucy Johnstone’s daughter said she would love a brand new bike for Christmas, Lucy knew it wouldn’t be Santa putting it beneath the tree – but the ‘bank of gran’ instead. 

Generous Alexandra Conroy Harris, 58, has agreed to give her 36-year-old daughter £1,000 to cover her Christmas costs in addition to the £1,200 allowance she already hands over each month.
