    the works have various deals, 3 items for £1.. either felt tips, dictionary or a refill pad.. you can mix and match or 37p each.. they also offer a free sharpie pen with a leaflet they give out! (it is a small pen but still free)

    schools have been back for 2 weeks in Scotland, so little late with this thread.

    We have friends in Edinburgh and their little boy has been back at school for 3wks now but Schools don't start back in England until mid-late next week.

    Debenhmans online are having a sale on school uniform and there is a discount code floating about as well. I bought 6 school items for £22 including pinafore, blouses, cardigans and pe kit.

    Saw the WHsmith advert on TV this evening so shall be popping there tomorrow for the £1.97 rucksack!

    All I need is a Parka and some tights and my DD is sorted!
