We went out fairly early (for us) this morning, to get the last bits that Drama Teen and Little Prince need for restarting school next week. I was amazed at how easy it was!! Drama Teen only needed new school trousers and she found some that both she and I approved of, and that fitted beautifully in only the SECOND shop we looked at!!! She and Mr Messy then went to a stationers to get some more bits, while I took Little Prince to Clarks for a shoe check. Of course he needed new shoes and was desperate to get the ones with the cars in again!! I whinged to the sales lad about what a rip off they were, and how the car fell apart in minutes last year and he was sympathetic but still managed to find them in Little Prince's size!! Oh well at least I know the shoes fit and are hard wearing!! We visited the local art gallery and cafe for lunch and had a look at the art after eating. It was a display from an artist who is inspired by art from the region of the world that is in Little Prince's background, so that was fascinating to look at.
When we got home I sprayed the shoes with three coats of the shoe protector and then with the magic shoe polish! Hopefully that will keep them looking smart for longer than a day, which would be another minor miracle as Little Prince is a boisterous boy and is hard on his clothes!!In the afternoon me and Drama Teen sorted out one of her cupboards in her bedroom and have filled another couple of bags of stuff to either send to the charity shop or to the tip. Only the rest of her room to sort out now!! Its going to take forever!!!! But one day we will see the floor!!!

I spent nearly £200 on shoes from Clarkes two weeks ago...what a major rip off! What can you do with three growing lads with big feet!
Hi Rosie,
I know its hard, especially when you have to kit three out at once!! At least we know their shoes fit well and aren't squashing their growing feet :-)
Love
