Have you not spent most of the past few weeks telling us about you're sons school uniform and cost under different names?
I distinctly remember the plimsolls , didn't you buy them from shoe zone in the end?
Why post again and again the same thing under different user names?0 -
No I have never posted about this topic before. His pumps are the atmosphere ones from Primark there not from shoe zone0

The denial cracks me up:rotfl:
Like why keep posting the same posts nearly word for word?
And why new usernames each time?0 -

OP
To help other Mums perhaps you could say where you bought the items from.
As for cheap plimsolls as school shoes, I think that subect has been done to death on the 2 MSE threads in the links.
Personally, I'm quite surprised that a school recommends plain black pumps as alternative to school shoes.0 -
My daughters school their shoes must be completely black, can be trainers or boots or shoes, if they aren't completely black they ask the child to colour in the bits that aren't black with a black marker or change into black pumps. I think that may be because they allow trainers because most school shoes are completely black anyway.
I've spent £86 this morning and that included :
Pe Shorts
PE Top
Rugby Shirt
Mouth guard
PE socks
2 short sleeved polo shirts
1 long sleeved polo shirts
and 1 cardigan
I'm going to see how she goes with this and then top it up because I'm not sure if she prefer the long or short sleeved tops yet or would rather have another cardy or get a jumper. She has black trousers that still fit so just need to get her shoes, she has trainers for pe already that I'll replace when they are outgrown or worn out rather than just because its a new school year.0 -
I bought his school polo shirts jumpers and pe kit from the school uniform shop then I bought his trousers from asda and he's shoes / pumps from Primark0

As mentioned above this does seem rather familiar (even part of the user name) and an odd topic for a first post.
On the price of uniform: It is sometimes better to pay more for harder wearing quality.
I went to a grammar school which had a very specific uniform, including pale green blouses, but those blouses lasted a whole school year, whereas my sons often needed new shirts (grey or white) as they wore out, after frequent washes.0
