we found it was good value for money, and put the name tag in the lining where the hood lives - there's a space there to write a name in but I prefer tapes.Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19

Thanks for the tip, i'm undecided but we have our first taster session tomorrow and i'll be buying some logo'd stuff then. I was thinking would a school coat be practical for the middle of winter and where would i write his name if its reversible. I might get last years coat out of the loft and see how it fits, its age 4-5 and was on the big side last year.
Am I allowed to admit to being excited about it all and at the same time sad that my little lad is off to school and ill only see him properly at weekends and evenings. He's ready despite complaints of "I dont want to go to nursery ALL the time", he goes 3 days a week - wait until 5 days then lad!
yes a lot of money so much so that I flipped when the school sent home the letter stating that while the logo'd coat wan't compulsory NO other coat was to be worn. The boys have blazers that MUST be worn at all times.
I asked just what i was supposed to send the boy into school wearing when there was snow on the ground?? Just thier blazers??? The school agreed to go halves with me, but when it came to the crunch even that was a step too far, SO the school paid for them totally. I know they paid for several boys coats.
Really dont understand why my boys school introduced them. The rule before was a plain black coat with no obvious logos !!0
