  • Ouch to shoes and trainers. I've got all that to come. Have managed to get some more bank work next week. Should take home similar amount so if im measuring it in clothes it's a pe top and pe training top which I assume is some form.of tracky top. 
    I haven't been to buy it yet. I need to get organised so nothing goes out of stock/we have a choice of shoes to pick from :smiley:

    Your school uniform is so expensive.  I'm dreading not being able to use the supermarkets!

    A fund for school things is a great idea to use the survey money for.  They are always wanting money for something.
