Thought I would pop in and say hello 
I can't believe tomorrow I/we are going to hear about the dc's school places. Where have the years gone?
M is ready to start school, I on the other hand .....

I'm not sure how I feel about the school thingy tomorrow. If she gets either school I will be happy, it's if she gets the crap nearest one. I will appeal if she does as we really want to move so getting the nearest one now before we move isn't going to help us if we move far and they won't let us change for a term.
We will be getting uniform from Asda and Matalan most likely. They are nearest and ridiculously cheap. On the quality side if DS can manage then I'm sure the girls can. Even M&S trousers rip when he does the splits.
Lucy starts nursery tomorrow I won't be able to drop her off though
I have dropped all the others off on their first day of nursery but tomorrow I will be stuck at college. I could console myself with saying it isn't 'proper' nursery and I will be picking her up and then taking her swimming so she will still love me.
Bad luck with the car Carrie I bet that was very scary. My first car popped out of gear on the motorway once and I was terrified that it had broken. Good job you didn't have ds2 with you

carrie this is what I used www.barrym.com/products/face/shimmer/fine-glitter-dust.html . It's been hanging around in a drawer for donkeys years and came to me in a flash of inspiration.
I get school uniform from Sainburys. Although I've bought DD some cullotes from Next as I was desperate to make sure I had some in her size before they all sold out.
The chest infection (that wasn't) is ok now. No idea what was going on on Thursday but I felt like death for 24hr then perked up 
. I'm probably just burnt out.

Congrats on the school places!! We find out tomorrow, and I'll be waiting until DH gets home to check online - the suspense will be killing me

Good luck to all tomorrow!

Impressively comprehensive list badvoc!
All I will do differently this time is to only buy DD a couple of new school logo polo shirts for the first year (mainly for school photo day), and make up the difference in DS's old logo ones and a couple of new plain polos from Sainsburys. In their school those first few weeks in reception can be as messy as pre-school and those white polo shirts don't stay white for very long!
Not sure how common it is but mine have 2 winter coats each. One for school / nursery and one for home. It means they can trash the school coat and still look presentable at weekends. It also makes washing them less stressful as you're not trying to get them dry overnight. I've got a bit anal about it now and their current weekend coats will be swapped to their school coats in Sept and I'll get a slightly bigger size up for their new weekend coats. That way something always fits and looks clean. I don't have enough to think about do I

MrsA not sure where you buy shoes (I've seen your posh kids shoe links on FB!) but if you do go to Clarks then you usually have to make an appointment around the end of August. So much less painful than waiting around for your ticket to come up!
