I totally agree, mine have had their holiday treats, now it's back to basics - watching TV/DVDs, playing in the garden, cooking, reading and colouring/crafts.

Give me strength, they'll be at each others throats before long.

I have been thinking about this school uniform business today-why is it we have to buy new in Sept (assuming that the kids are at the same school). Do they only grow in August? Why would we be led to believe that the blouses which fitted them in July will suddenly be no good for them come the first week in Sept?

Confession time.

Mine will both be going back to school in last terms jumpers and school polo shirts. I can only buy when needed, and they are still fine.

They both need shoes and DS has no knees in his old trousers, so will have to have new ones, but apart from that, they will be as they were in July when they finished.
