Aztec have a sale on atm, but not sure how much is left.
I agree that the stuff from there is excellent quality, and the clothes really stand out.

Ds has the yo ho pull ups & t shirt
i love them

ds has the rocket cardigan
it's his adored favourite

lulabyloo - so was it the monkey tshirt you didn't like or the JJMB turquoise jacket?

not keen on the monkey t shirt

phew cos i'm bidding on the JJMB one

i have noticed people don't tend to like monkeys on clothes. i wonder why. i don't mind as long as it doesn't have cheeky monkey with it.

its not that6 it's a monkey
it's just the design

oh right ...

that's baffled me a bit lol.

what about this one?

I find when I pay more the marks come off fine in the wash without me doing anything (e.g. boden). And I have 2 boys born at same time of year so I want things to last for both. Most of the cheaper stuff I bought for ds1 just didn't last the first child much less 2nd, whereas m&S, boden, gap etc are still going strong. Plus they look quite good still. ds2 currently wearing stripey top from monsoon that looks lovely still after being worn to death by both!

butterfly, let us know the 'not on the high st' stuff turns out, I've never actually bought any!

Great big boys (ds just 9 last week but already challenging 11yo sizing) - M&S is good, if you get past the shiny England football gear; Zara is often excellent.

H&M goes badly off the boil for the big ones I think - all streety (skate-y graffiti & skulls), which is fine if you want streety but doesn't give you any alternatives if not.

no dont like that either

ha i challenge you to find a monkey tshirt you do like

taken a trip to Hennes today - after filling my buggy to overflowing i remembered the online purchases

anyway it was good ish - some lovely little cotton poplin ( not sure if that is right word) in beige and white and blue and white stripes

long sleeved green t with owl on ( divine)
orange striped t shirt with collar
various other tops and lovely thin trousers to be either 3/4 or long

all in all a good haul - even got some (less hideous than it sounds) spiderman top as a gift for a school friend!

Snap, I have the owl top for both my ds's! They're so nice, and have washed really well. If I can find stuff in the right size in Hennes, I love it. The only place I could get nice jeans for ds2 with his rather large cloth nappy bottom.

we have the owl top too
i do love it
now & again they have some great bits

at spiderman top

surely not?
ye of such good taste

What was the nasty "No added Sugar" Campaign?

i laughed myself!!!

I had to hide it from ds as it is not for him

IN MY DEFENCE

its all black and silver with just the face

and

its a gift a gift it will not rest in the McQueen/Yates household for long!

hmmmmmm....ok then

ds thinks he is called spidermouse for some reason

i love h& m loadsa cute little shirts and hats and things!
and baby gap!
primark have some cool bits
next but quite pricey
oh and debenhams is great when its all 70 per cent off at sale times!
