    Congratulations :j . It'll be great not to have to worry about finding money for uniforms anymore and perhaps there'll even be a little left over for a treat for yourselves!

    one less thing to worry about!

    p.s. Asda is good for value uniforms - but buy quick before everybody else does!

    why not treat all of you to a day at the seaside or something DFW like that, then put the rest towards school uniforms? :)
    Then you all get a treat!
