    I darent think about it Bookie. I added up the PE kit and depressed myself. We're talking shoes - DD and DS, trainers, football boots, blazer, trousers, shirts...the list ges on. I cant imagine getting any change from £250 :o


    :eek: It does make me mad though as we were told that the PE stuff was compulsary with the logo, the new starters wore it for about half the year and then wore there own kit.

    Does he need the jumper as I have bought them and mine refused to wear them.

    Mine had 2 shirts each and 2 pairs of trousers until I could afford to get more over the next few months.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Good luck with the dentist, I went last week for the first time in about 6 years and it was a lot better than I expected.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    At least it's free.

    They're really strict on the uniform Lou, so I bet they'll have to wear it.

    I bet he'll want the jumper - he never took his primary one off, no matter how hot it was.

    He'll have to make do with 1 pair of trousers for now, shirts I think come in packs so will just get one pack.

    God I hate feeling like this :o Should've planned ahead :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

    I would love to have my teeth whitened, I hate smiling on photos as I have one tooth that looks brown on photographs.

    That would be my treat to myself once we are totally debt free.

    Do you think it might be worth getting in touch with the PTA and seeing if you can organise some kind of swap shop or second hand sale? I know some parents would probably prefer to hang on to stuff for younger siblings, but in the current climate I imagine it would be a pretty popular idea.

    I dont know who they are hun. It's quite a well off area (we're the exception round here) so I dont imagine there'd be much need for it :o

    Spud, you are making the best out of what you have got.

    1 pair will be adequate for now its the shirts that get a bit mucky so 2 of them to start.

    If he has a blazer on he wont need a jumper.
