to be thrilled. It only took having 4 DC for this to happen....

[pleasekeepcalmandcarryon]

Managed to get youngest DS a bargain pair of Clarks shoes in the sale for £8.

It's taken 18 years of them only ever having full priced ones in my DC sizes to get here.

I now have one school uniform including shoes for under £20 ready for new starters transition week.

My life is now complete and I can stop having DC

That happened to me in January for the first time ever! Ds1 is 22, ds2 20 and dd is 5. Number 4 due in December .

I must have spent several years salary in that place and then I get one measly pair of shoes for £8.00. Just one!!! Needless to say the next pair had flashing lights etc and cost £34.00....... for a 5 yr old .

Hope he doesn't have a growth spurt over the summer

cj - that would be typical! He needed some anyway but I bet the next pair will be back to £30 +.
