    Thank you to everyone from Luke, he was really chuffed that people that don't know him took the time to congratulate him :)

    That's a fabulous chunk of debt gone abba, your really smashing that target! I hope you manage to get school jumpers elsewhere, we managed to get the last of the uniform today thank goodness.

    Fingers crossed for a reasonable quote on the blinds xx

    What kind of jumpers do you get your son for school......mine doesn't want v neck ones but that's all that seems to be available xx

    You are good at recognising brands are important for kids but finding a MSE way to accommodate it.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    I know kids are cruel if they aren't wearing the right brands and I don't want him bullied for it....... they won't know what I've paid for it all they'll see is the name xd

    I'm lucky as it's V neck jumpers for Luke's school, do you want me to check my local Asda to see if they have any crew neck jumpers in stock? xx
