Hi, I want to convince my dad to let me get a paypal account.  I want to be able to pay for a minecraft server for my friends, as well as buy myself minecraft (Yes. Rabbit1131, a minecraft account).  I want to be able to manage to do this before the holidays (around 14 days), while still being able to have a little time to spend time with you guys, and with my friends (on facebook, of course, oh yeah, and skype).  I don't want to beg, because that will look bad on my part.  I am already stepping up, being more cheerful, and actually doing work.  We're all going to throw in $3 each for the server, so money isn't a problem.  My mum said as it was due to server hosting and money, that it was my dads domain, and my dad is a lot stricter.  So, I want a paypal account to be able to pay for this.  I am classified as a 'geek', so i offered to host a server in the meantime, which lags a lot with more than 3 players online, or when we run the NativeGiants mod for SMP.  Please suggest ways I can convince my dad to let me get a paypal account, before actually asking him.  (As in, doing things around the house, showing i can be committed, etc etc).

Thank you for reading this, please suggest ways below!
