    I am running out of popcorn and diet coke!

    What stuff?


    Day out. Why do we all feel they have to have new in September? They've only had 6 weeks off and they've not worn it out in that time! It was fin for the last day of term. Brainwashing.

    I think Spuds youngest, like mine, will be moving up to secondary school this year hence the new uniforms.

    Edited to add that Spud beat me to it.

    DS is going to high school Bookie - needs a complete new uniform, including shoes plus pencil case and contents :cool:

    DD is growing so quick, she'll def need a new skirt. Shirts and blazer will be OK. PE top 'went missing' so new one needed, and she needs shoes too.

  • Green cardi. Gross,
    I had to wear green stockings
  • I am too cheap/skint to buy M&S uniforms. Tescos and George for me, or hand me downs from friends. Actually, I lie, I got DD a cardi from BHS and at the beginning of each term they sell off 'lost and found' uniforms for 20p-50p. Got a couple of school jumpers that way! Also, got a logo'd winter coat of Freecycle.

    If I could get away without buying, I would. To make things worse, the cheap places like Mr T dont sell navy so will need to try M&S etc :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
