Re school uniform she’s full of shite, school items are far more affordable now (said as someone who received clothing vouchers as a kid, my mum is so impressed now if a bit sad it wasn’t the case back then).
Plus I was able to buy some items for my own kids from Aldi (both special buy and bargain bin) which were high quality and under £2.
agree the costs increase as kids get older and start to notice brand names, but it’s clear that’s not something she has to worry about for SB.
the whole endeavour has fucked me off.
