Going back to school costs a fortune!I was out with Ceilidh this afternoon. In the shoe shop the damage was £79!!! For a 6 year old. She got this seasons must have girl shoes. They have a hidden doll in one heal and her wardrobe in the other heal. One paair of trainers that have butterflies on the side which light up. One school bag, ofcourse were talking Ceilidh here so it had to be pink!

I am too scared to think about new uniforms... am really skint at the moment... did the weekly shop on £16 today! I have been asking the kids to try and see if the ex will pay anything towards their uniforms, but doubt it, as he still has not worked out that he has to pay for his kids upbringing after all these years!! The kids will be going back to school on a very tight budget... poor things. |

Oh Jac, don't even go there!! The School jumpers for Tom and Em's school with the logo on are £20 each  They have two new ones each plus the polo shirts plus the logo design sports wear plus the trousers, bags and the list goes on  Em's had to have a Morgan bag Luckily Tom made do with a cheap Umbro one from the sports shop but the uniform so far has cost me in excess of £200 and we still have shoes to buy I saw thoses shoes with the doll in the heel in Clarks today - they are really cute but luckily for me my kids are a bit old for them  |

I have been there Donna. Pound streacher was my best friend for years and I knitted jumpers and cardies. The only thing I never skimped on was shoes. I feel that it's so important for growing feet to have proper fitting shoes. I got a little carried away today  . I save every £2 coin I get. You wouldn't believe how it mounts up. |

I'm lucky there Fran. Ceilidh's Polo shirts and sweatshirts will do this term as well. They are expensive though. Her school also do fleases, and jackets. She'll be wanting one of them next. |

Well Em goes up to High School this year so she has to have a whole set of new uniform including aprons for technology etc... All the clothing except trousers/skirts has to have the school logo on it. Tom has managed with his uniform for three years but apart from growing out if it, it now looks rather shabby and they have uniform inspections and a grading system with punishment, even dismissal if their uniform is poor  So he's had to have a whole new set too I'm skint  |

Oh I know Fran. Even primary schools here are all for the logo. You have to wear certain colours depending on the time of year. Dresses in the summer, skirts polo shirts ect in the winter. I'm all for uniforms but I think it's got out of hand. |
