I try and hand down where possible but summer clothes seem to be worn to death.
Maybe I could just stop feeding them although they are at ages where they would just help themselves to food!

Tge stuff you want to last never does and the stuff you can't wait for them to grow out of seems to last forever....

I've just had to update DS's wardrobe as nothing was fitting him anymore. Highly inconveniant if you ask me. He should only be allowed to grow when I've won the lottery Smile

Do you remember that woman who was the mother of Shannon Matthews. She kept her hidden, and pretended she had been abducted.

Well, she used to give her children tranquillisers in the summer. They discovered it by testing her daughter's hair, apparently.

Anyhoo, you could do that, and they could just live in pyjamas all summer. Sor' ed.Wink

Oh my goodness HandMadeTail I didn't know that at all.

Not only unreasonable that they grow but I expect they think you should pay for the food to help them grow.
