    George sometimes has them in stock, but tbh I've not been to Asda lately so don't know if they have them in this year.

    I used to think the ankle socks were very smart on DD - the ones with the green gingham frill on them instead of plain white - went very well with her summer dresses.

    Now she's 11 summer dresses aren't worn anymore - shame, they were very easy to wash, dry hang up and no need to iron!:o

  • Thanks everyone :) I did see them in George agggees ago and stupidly didn't get them now they don't have any.Didn't think of claires accessories so will try there tomorrow :)

    As a last resort I might try to make a hair band myself or just get some nice ribbon for her hair.

    I saw them in Tesco a couple of weeks back, they had packs of them (hairband, thick and thin bobbles) in red green blue and black.

    Hi everyone :)

    My DD starting school in a few weeks and I really want her to have hairbands/bobbles etc to match her uniform but I can't find stuff anywhere.

    I'm looking for a green gingham hair band or a bow hairband and matching hair clips and bobbles.Been around the shops and on eBay etc but no luck.Any ideas?

    Many thanks

    Buy a couple of the summer dresses in a large size for next summer because scrunchies normally come with them if buying from Sainsburys or Asda.

    Asda, Tesco, Matalan - and pound shops. My DD's school colour is also green, and I've bought green gingham hairbands and green bobbles (sometimes the set of both) in all of these stores in the past.

    I saw them in Sainsburys last week, they had hairbands, scrunchies and clasps.

    My son starts school for the first time this september and I had no idea whwe to get pale blue polo shirts from as everywhere seemed to do white and even yellow. I happened to look in M&S on the off chance and they had the deal 3 for 2 on school uniforms. Don't know how long this offer is on for but I got it today! 04/08/2010:T
