Gawd who the hell could afford little ones these days - you need to take out a mortgage just to feed and clothe them 

Rexicles LTNS 

Flipping heck Tina

That's not supermarket clothes though, is it? Mine were dressed by Tesco

I also had a very rich friend who passed all her Osh Kosh (sp), Laura Ashely etc stuff down to me, but all I ever bought was Tesco!!

Pengles

How's the Latin? Have you got exams soon?

How's the Muffman doing with his maths - do you know?

lol this is tescos rexi

for Ashton its £15 for a top and jeans hes only 5 and half months

I sat an exam today - get the results next week.  I haven't heard from Muffman this week - he must be right in the middle of module 5 which is the really tough one 

I buy a lot of clothes - tops mainly in Tu from Sainsbury's 

Nooooooo

Cor blimey - that is harsh Tina

Fingers crossed then Pengles - but I know you will do well because you are soooo damned clever

Give Muffles my best wishes - I hope his exams go ok

Food prices are stupid at the moment, all my local shops are co-op 3 on one road once now we are down to two, £1.30 for bread and £1.45 for a cauilflower and they tell you too eat your 5 a day, who can afford too

Kids jeans, jammies and tops are exceptional value in Asda IMO.

Exactly the same for me Rexi..    I bought most of the girls clothes from Tesco..  but had well off hand me downs..  and yeah...  Osh Kosh & Laura Ashley (the Osh Kosh was the best!).

I have been lucky enough to have decent hand me downs (sometimes from friends, or through the more convoluted route..   my friends sister or something).

Likewise I handed stuff down..    (the decent stuff mentioned above must have done at least 4 little girls)...    All my boys stuff goes to my cousin for her boy.

They grow so quickly when they are little stuff very rarely got much wear n tear.

I never understood people who were offended by the idea of hand me downs.

You can't beat a bit of George! 

They are the best for bra & knickers!

I love a bit of Aldi for food shopping too!

Bread under 90p a loaf,   their fruit & veg is cheaper too.     & cheese etc.

lip gloss - £1.99 and one of the best  have ever had.    And their wrinkle stop serum at about £5 is better than any of the top brands I used to buy.

I wouldn't buy fresh meat from Aldi though

my daughter said she had noticed how much baby milk had increased lately, george for baby girls clothes are better than tesco's - they don't have much choice  and as for the price of linguine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
