    My daughter goes through loads of shoes. Worse is she only wears them to, from and at lunch in school as they wear indoor shoes in the classrooms.

    Her kickers are great and a bit of polish and they look like new. Prior to these she went through 2 pairs of clarks and a pair from M&S.

    My son is also the same we are on the 3rd pair of school shoes since September and he's only at school nursery for 3 hours a day, god knows how many he will go through when he starts fulltime.

    25% off tu is on now it started yesterday

    Where do you find this out? I want to get uniform for DD from TU but it's a bit of a drive so only want to go if the discount is on, it doesn't seem to say anything on the website.

    Thanks

    M&S has 20% off all school uniforms now. Not sure when it started. :D

    Also free delivery when you spend £25

    My son starts school in September - I'm not sure how many items I should be buying - polo shirts/ jumpers/ trousers?

    Help? Thanks!

    We have two of each for my little brother who is still in primary school. Works well cos if one's in the wash, he can wear the other.

    I was in Sainsburys on Monday night and a member of staff told me it was starting yesterday. I will confirm later today as my mother in law is going today and is getting me some items.

    Im the same my son is at school nursery every day and ive two of each item but I don't think it will be enough for fulltime as he's a mucky pup so think I will be buying four polo shirts and three jumpers as I think he will have his dinner down them everyday.

    Ive got twins and I buy 6 trousers and 8 polo shirts, 4 dresses for winter, 4 dresses for summer, 2 cardigans and 2 jumpers and 10 pairs of tights since they go through them at a rate of knots. They're full time.
    We've had lunch, paint, indelible marker, felt pens and general mud or grass stains on most of the polo shirts. Thank goodness they're tough enough to bleach but not all the pen marks come out so we usually have a graduated release of shirts with new ones getting added into the mix after the Xmas break.
    I often buy a few long sleeved shirts as well.

    Had new shoes in September, boots through winter and now need more shoes, I could cry!

    Obsessing about remortgaging and interest rates all day, every day:)

  • Just to confirm the 25% on tu is not on as my mother in law has been today so im wondering if the sales assistant who told me means it will be starting next Tuesday instead as they normally have one before a bank holiday ? Sorry for any confusion.
