With regards to your gems request:  Not sure if you read my reply but here is the gist -- try to negotiate with your mum about it. Offer a trade -- e.g., doing chores / being extra nice / doing well in your studies / etc in exchange for US$10 to be spent on gems.

Some additional advice: Don't take the easy out, ever. Don't get other people to give you stuff. Work for it, and get what you need or want from your mum. You may not understand it now, but it's worth more that way. :)

Cheers, and good luck! You're going to have to work hard to get your gems before the quest ends!
