It is a description from mumsnet. DS is Darling Son, DD is Darling Daughter etc.
There is no way you copied a message from a recent-and-then-banned member word for word out of the blue.

Because, when you use it, you put a space before your punctuation. What sort of example is that to set?
I'm sorry about my punctuation lol
Far from it,i fill shelves at a supermarket,i put my daughter first in everything,my daughter has good shoes/boots to walk in,would you do the same ?
I don't live lavishly,i work hard and provide for my daughter as every parent should.

Yeah but we all know you don't have to spend that much for decent footwear.... Particularly for children!
£80 boots for winter
£45 for shoes
£10 trainers
It's not that much,my daughter has huge feet for a 9 year old and very narrow,she needs decent shoes,her clothes come from supermarkets ect,its only shoes that ill pay a lot for.
That's pretty cringy
Looks reasonable. But if I had kids the boots might be ott?

School uniform.
Presumably C is saved for those special occasions when the OH gets caught cheating
Its about average for good quality, no frills footwear for a child. Some of the rich kids £135 wouldn't even stretch to one of the half dozen pairs of shoes that don't even last 6 months before out of fashion they get through in a year.
How times change.
When I was at primary school my mother made much of my school clothing. (Shorts and shirts) My Grandmother specialised in knitting my pullovers. (When I outgrew them, she simply unravelled them and remade them one size up) She might even have knitted socks too.
Shoes were expensive, but also rather better made, It was normal to take outgrown shoes down to the second hand shop and trade them in against some shoes the next size up
