School uniform cost

My boys school blazers are the worst cost £40 each. Compulsory, can only buy them from one shop and the never have stock. So you have to get in early and buy spares.

Downs Syndrome?

Bit harsh referring to him like that. What wrong with just saying "my boy". No need to draw attention to his disability all the time.

Ds means my son my son hasn't got down sindrome

Spares? Pretty sure I only ever had one blazer at a time. Teach him to take it off before he gets in to any muddy fighting stuff

No, amigafan just wants you to look at him because he's loaded. It's not actually related to the OP.

It's mumsnet lingo for Dear Son. All men should learn those abbreviations, so they know which women they should run a mile from when hearing them.

I spent £135 on my daughters shoes/boots this year.

Good for you? Not everyone can live so lavishly

Oh I never thought of that...

One of them is Autistic, so not so much. They also wear out and out grow them. It's at least two a year and a six week wait for stock. The school is ultra strict on dress code. Soon have three boys in there, so getting expensive.

OP probably even rents

Even if you could, there's no real reason to, school uniforms prices are surely relatively similar across the board? Especially for ones with the schools logo on it?

OP doesn't sound far off with his pricing, fair play with the 2 for £8 shoes if pumps are what the kids are cutting about in these days.

I'm not a parent but every little helps!

I think we have a Mumsnet infiltrator on our hands? :mad:

Falcon punches at the ready!

Pumps are a popular alternative to school shoes
