With regards to the kids shoes, you really don’t need your child to be wearing brand names shoes. There are plenty of high street stores that sell perfectly decent shoes for children. The logic of scrimping on your child (second hand shoes, second hand bed & mattress, second hand clothes and scrimping on food), yet splashing out on household items such as spoons and soap dishes etc makes no sense to me! Their priorities are so off! Buying a house you can afford to do up makes no sense either. Affording something does not mean remortgaging and putting it on credit cards. They are in debt to the hilt, I don’t understand living a life like this, champagne lifestyle on lemonade money!
