Argh! It’s uniform time. It is always so expensive and you have to leave it to the last minute because kids grow like weeds. Unless you are great at estimating their growth and then you can take advantage of early special offers then it is expensive. This is my unform list:-
Thankfully other than a book or two nothing for music! Yay!
If you have pets like me, then you know the frustrations of pet hair. I did not realise just how bad things were until I tested CarPET. I used it on a patch a foot square that had already been vacuumed with a pet hair vacuum cleaner. And in a couple of sweeps, you can see the ball of hair I picked up. I was astonished. I thought it was clean and I was so very wrong.
It is so good, I do not even know where to begin. I thought I was just testing another gimick except it actually works. The only recommendation I have, is they need to make it as an attachment to a vacuum cleaner so that it can suck the hairs up as you clean.
And if you are interested it is not just for Cats and Dogs but can even be used for horse hair.
My son has started horse riding recently and it is amazing how much an equestrian hobby can cost. And we are not talking just the cost of the lessons but all the riding gear:- the helmet, the jodhpurs, the Boots, the back brace, etc etc.
Thankfully his teacher is great. Because she knows how quickly they grow and how quickly hobbies changed, she told us we could use wellies and a bike helmet (if we had one) till we decided to continue. She also said jeans are ok too. Phew.
Mind you he has been going about a year now…. so maybe not so recently… and maybe time to get the proper gear!
My eldest son has been horse riding for nearly a year now. It was quite weird at first as he was rather afraid of horses. He still is a bit wary but he seems to enjoy riding. He goes every forthnight. The teacher is lovely. She even takes into consideration of cost for extras like breeches, riding shoes and hat. In fact she recommended that until we decided to stay on, we use regular wellies and a cycle helmet. I think I might get him some stuff slowly now as we have stuck to it for a year already and he seems to get fonder by the lesson.
Today, I had to explain to my son that our local aquatics shop closed down to move somewhere else. As a four year old, he could not understand that concept. “But when are they going to open again?”. I did promise to take him to the new shop, though I suspect he will be dissappointed as it is located in a huge Garden Center. He wants to buy his Daddy another Blue Fighter Fish as his last one died. Isn’t that sweet?
