    Have to say tho the girls were wearing tonnes of make up and short skirts to school etc - If I turned up to my high school like that I would have been sent home to get washed and changed!

    We didn't have a school uniform, so girls turned up dressed like they were going clubbing rather than to school, and you could never breathe in the PE changing room due to the hairspray fog.

    The headmaster thought pupils should wear their own clothes to express their individuality and creativity. All it did was divide people and lead to cliques and bullying. I was in the not trendy and not popular clique in my Geordie jeans and Dunlop trainers :o

    I love school uniform as everyone is dressed the same and not judged by the clothes they wear.
    Here I go again on my own....

    oh on the program that was supposed to be uniform! :rolleyes:
    When I was at school it was all about getting away with a short skirt or bum hugging trousers and a fitted shirt instead of a proper one and shoes had to be either kickers or massive heels, I know there will always be a trend at school but I think the school on the show mustn't have been the best at discipline for uniform which IMO is important :D

    great news caz

    MFD - I can be a bit funny about secondhand occassionally, so I know what you mean. hubby is very funny about it a lot so I don't tell him!!!! LO loves her bouncy chair and sitting on sofas/chairs surrounded by pillows so the bumbo is just an extra as she is desperately trying to sit up herself. (she thinks shes an adult like us - a bit like pets think they are human sometimes!!!) As it's just an extra I can't decide whether to buy new or not - it'll be a waste if she doesn't like it and my thinking is that if i save money on that i can buy her something else aswell/at a later date! and milton fluid is great for things like that!!!!

    where did you find that price mfd> getting price down/using vouchers should be our mission (btw there are loads on ebay - and lots of new trays aswell)
