Confession time.

Mine will both be going back to school in last terms jumpers and school polo shirts. I can only buy when needed, and they are still fine.

They both need shoes and DS has no knees in his old trousers, so will have to have new ones, but apart from that, they will be as they were in July when they finished.

dont feel bad about that

i went through school (senior) with one offical jumper till it was nicked then i had one plain black one as for shirts/trousers/shoes they were brought when/if we could afford them, i had non of this 'lets go shopping for a new uniform' whats the point if the others fit and does the job, very moneysaving :j *i hope i havent offended anyone*

I do the same-I don't buy any new school uniform until it's needed.I have had to buy for my eldest daughter though as she's going up to senior school in September...£35 for a blazer!!!

Is this of any use? I don't have kids (although I do have one pesky cat that is v. clever at waking you up at 5am!) so I can't comment. Just saw it in the paper so thought it may help someone!

I've noticed today how much my two have grown since school broke up in July. It must be the weather!!
I have to buy new shirts,trousers and shoes for both. I will have to dip into the next couple of months money to pay for these.
