SCHOOL UNIFORM BANK thread

Queenofknickers · 26/06/2015 18:37

Hi, I wanted to be clear about the thread I started before - it's not a swap, so nothing is required in return! It's for the perfectly good uniform items that you might otherwise give to charity. This way we can support each other in our mumsnet community.

I've got several pairs of boys black school trousers aged 8-9 with adjustable waists. Free to good home and I'm happy to post just PM me Smile

I have a pack of 5 Brand New Next Boys Polo shirts...think they are age 12. My son has to wear a different colour polo shirt at school as he is now a Digital Leader so we don't need them. Would love to help someone if I can.

ihearttc · 27/06/2015 22:03

Oh and not school uniform but I have 2 boys polo shirts and a t-shirt in age 12/13 that would love a new home (think they are Next and H&M).

MrsHenryMountbattenWindsor · 27/06/2015 22:05

I have, from Boots, brand new boys t-shirts x2 and one pair of shorts. All size 2-3yrs. I need to take them back to boots on Monday, but will post to someone who needs them if you PM me before then.

frenchfryaddict · 27/06/2015 22:08

Ladydeadpool. Would your Dd fit an adult size 10 Long ? I have 2 pairs of black trousers that fit my 13 year old, but she decided she wanted skirts. I realise at this age they vary in size greatly, but if you would like them, PM me

zobey · 27/06/2015 22:10

ihearttc if you still have the next polo shirts I would love them.

maccie · 28/06/2015 11:38

I feel terrible asking for help like this but I think it's time to swallow my pride for the greater good of my DC. I do receive a uniform grant too but I try to use this on the larger cost items like Blazers, coats and shoes.

If anyone could help with any of these items I would really really appreciate it,

Girls white shirts long or short sleeved age 15
Grey skirts or pinafores age 9 and age 3
Sky blue polo shirts age 9 and age 3
Navy blue PE shorts age 9.

I will of course pay postage if anyone is kind enough to offer me any of the items.
