    The pound she kept for herself is being counted twice,,

    If she counted it twice Hec,it would come out to be 100..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

     She borrowed $50 from each parent and bought a coat for $97, leaving her $3 in change.  By giving each parent $1, that accounts for $98 and $99;  the last dollar, which she keeps, brings the total to $100. 
    Your wording was tricky.

    Maybe 3 times even,,

    Is it snowing at your place? It's been snowing her for a couple of hours and it's beautiful. Roy took a picture of the dog and me kneeling on the couch watching the snow out the window. LOL

    Sorry to hear about William not feeling well. Hope it is nothing serious....Dieszal seems to have recovered from his surgery and is jumping up onto my bed at night with no problem. I am spoiling him until the house is in livable condition again. Another 2-3 weeks.
