It has just dawned on me.......

Well our holiday is looming and I have at least a million things to do before then, I have just realised that one thing I absolutely have to do is buy Beth's new school uniform. I only have a couple of bits at the moment and if I leave it until we get back it will be too late if they are out of stock of some of the stuff. It seems extremely expensive. I was able to get away with it a bit more with Carl, as they had pale blue shirts and charcoal grey trousers, both of them can be bought at Tesco's. Beth on the other hand has to have 'uniform' blue blouses with open necked collar and official uniform trousers and skirts. I am going to get one of each and then she can see if we can vary it a bit once we get settled in.
That brings us on to shoes, something that Beth never wears. She has always been able to wear trainers at primary, so that's another thing to think about.
This morning has dawned bright but very wet, which is a pain as I have around 4 loads of washing to get dry plus a sleeping bag. So I am slogging on with it. Carl has only been back home since last night and today he has three swimming parties at school and in the middle of the day he is working at the University pool. He is not afraid of a bit of work!!
I am off to do a bit of jewelry making between the washing.
