And the next, well just look at what you are forced to purchase in the name of fashion...
They are BIGGER THAN MY SIZE as well. I am buying adult shoes! Adult shoes for a child who is anything but an adult at times!!
All I want to do is shout "stop growing!" or at least "slow down a bit will you?".
People talk about the hidden cost of raising a child all the time. I wish I could hide this cost...
£45!! They are not even leather!!
The moral of this tale - Teens are expensive not so little blighters. True fact.
Still, at least DH and I can have his hand me downs...
We have this 'Vans' issue as well! My brother-in-law bought her a pair last year - they were too big but she soon fit into them and now it's all VANSVANSVANS. So far I have been able to assuage this by opting for 'Asda Vans' or whatever but I don't think I have much longer. Dreading school shoes, Philippa - putting it off for as long as possible!! xxx
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, we have H&M converse here for the pre-teen. I thoroughly recommend them actually - £6 and they are nearly the same! My school shoe bill? "That'll be £192 please Mrs Tyrer" *faints*. note to self - don't have any more children!
