Have you done any back to school shopping yet? How much do you have left to do? Let me know in the comments 👇🏻

[@emilymonk6794]

Yes, I've got all his uniform and school shoes :) now just hoping his feet don't grow before the first day!

[@MummyofFourUK]

Did the shoes still fit when school started? x

[@emilymonk6794]

@@MummyofFourUK Yes they still fit :) still lots of growing room in them.

[@kimberleeharris8248]

The pritt stick glue is definitely better the cheap ones dry out and don’t stick it will probably work out cheaper buying the more expensive ones then continuing to buy the cheap ones xx

[@katiemx2502]

Yes💖 i have all my stationary, shoes, uniform and bag i just need a pencil case xxz

[@beingmrsdsmith1312]

As a teacher...I can confirm pritt stick is worth the extra money haha cheap glue sticks are the bane of my work life!!! New subscriber and really loving your videos x

[@MummyofFourUK]

I knew a teacher could help me out with the correct answer! I had such a telling off from my teenager for trying to buy cheap glue sticks 😂 Thank you so much for watching & subscribing 😘

[@laurenmoody4455]

I’m going into year 11 too and yes cheap glue sticks are awful!! 😂 I remember my pen licence 😫

[@MummyofFourUK]

How am I the only one that can’t remember a pen licence 😂

[@emma_rose_1810]

Oh I feel you on the giant feet bit! My son will be 13 in December and he’s a size 7.5 already 😩 I’m 34 this year and only take a 5. Luckily his high school allows them to wear leather plain all black vans, converse or Air Force 1s so he didn’t have to have as he calls them “wedding shoes” 😂 x

[@MummyofFourUK]

Wedding shoes 🤣🤣🤣

[@hpritch1]

I cannot deal with the Clarke’s prices for shoes. After their first pair of shoes I refuse to buy them 😂 my twins had Sainsbury’s shoes for reception and they were fantastic and £15 a pair! And another teacher confirming pritt stick is definitely worth spending the money on! X

[@MummyofFourUK]

I did almost faint at the bill 😳😂 Glad I made the right glue investment 🤣 Thank you for watching x

[@itzjustgeorgie193]

Wilko is the best for stationery it’s all branded and very cheap !!

[@MummyofFourUK]

I haven’t been to Wilko in ages! I’ll have to check it out 😊

[@karalouise4587]

In my primary school pen licences were a thing! You had to write a story in pencil and you would win a prize if you were in the top 5 and you would also gain a pen licence if you had neat hand writing, luckily I was one of the first children to gain my pen licence which made me feel very special😂 but I deffo agree with the glue sticks because the glue sticks that my high school buy are absolutely shocking so I would definitely recommend pritt sticks👍

[@MummyofFourUK]

How have I never learned about pen licences until now then 😂

[@karalouise4587]

@@MummyofFourUK I honestly don't know but it makes children feel so privileged to have a pen its actually stupid😂 also ive only just started to watch your channel but I am really enjoying your content so far❤

In my primary school pen licenses were a thing but they were called Pen awards and we had to have lessons in cursive writing and if your hand wrong was neat you could gain a pen license. I never gained mine

[@maisyforrest-hay3570]

I Would really recommend going to the range for cheap and good quality stationary XXX

[@MummyofFourUK]

Great tip, thanks! I never thought to look there x

[@runforninjamc6878]

Still need to buy shoes for my kids. My daughter starts secondary in Sept and her new school provides a free, full school uniform including blazer and P.E kit! I’m a primary teacher (reception) and Pritt stick is worth the extra money, every time! Great vlog!

[@MummyofFourUK]

That’s amazing! I wish our school did that 😂 And I love a blazer, so smart. Glad I made the right glue investment 😉

[@sararara7847]

What school is that?

[@runforninjamc6878]

Sara Ali it’s the secondary school where we live, in Liverpool. Quite a few schools in the North West are now providing a first, free uniform to all children entering Year 7. x

[@sararara7847]

Emma Fitzgerald thanks

[@MummyofFourUK]

Ah, but PVA was so fun to pick off your fingers 🤣

[@gracereynolds8862]

Hiya I would definitely recommend get your girls school shoes from new look when they get older. It is so much cheaper and you might find that they like the styles better.

[@MummyofFourUK]

I will check them out 😊

[@emmathornton4675]

Hi in my experience pritt stick lasts a lot longer the cheaper ones dry out quicker. Star drop window cleaner is really good and has a nice smell. I also use it on my mirrors and the inside of the car wind screen. My 12 year old is also in adult shoes and will have to have new ones. I Prefer to buy from Clarks but they don't seem to have a good range of styles for mens shoes. Loved this video and your great tips. x

[@MummyofFourUK]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video xx

[@samanthacridge9105]

Love watching your videos, I am off to get some school stationery tomorrow for my eldest who is going into year 8. Defo hitting up £land x

[@MummyofFourUK]

Thanks lovely 😊 I’m so glad you like my videos 🥰 Have fun shopping 🛍 let me know what you get xx

[@ellamcgrady8856]

Have you tried kickers school shoes for your teenager? They’re a little more pricey but are amazing quality and stay in good condition the whole year no matter how hard you are on them, might be worth checking them out if he’s very hard on his school shoes !

[@MummyofFourUK]

I remember having Kickers! With big chunky heels 😂 Good idea to look at boy Kickers though xx

[@emilymonk6794]

Fab ideas for the document wallets, my son starts school in 1 week! Will be picking up a pack this week!

[@MummyofFourUK]

Honestly, it has been a game changer. In parents evenings, his teachers always comment on how organised he is. This is because every night before he has free time I get him to show me his bag and the folders that he has packed x

[@twogenders768]

I have always said that cheap glue sticks were awful!!! They never last and don’t even stick. They run out so quickly too!!!!

[@MummyofFourUK]

I think you’re right 😉

As a huge stationary nerd the extra money spent on prit sticks is sooooo worth it

[@MummyofFourUK]

Well if a stationery nerd says so it must be true 😉

[@mrsmcajones4912]

branded glue sticks are definitely the best and will last a lot longer. would magic sponges get the crayon marks out? great video. glad its not just me who spends a gazillion £s when the kids go shopping with me 😁

[@MummyofFourUK]

I will try a magic sponge, thank you! Yes, at last gazillions 😂

[@oliviahegarty1959]

as someone who has just done their leaving cert & spent a lot of time on art, invest in the proper glue sticks!! The cheap ones will start making corners stick up & you’ll have to redo it over & over x

[@MummyofFourUK]

Good to know! Thank you 😉

I get a lot of my school supplies from pound land and pritt stick is a lot better than cheap glue x

Because Clark’s shoes are the best for school

They seem to be the “go to” school shoes

[@g.o2934]

The branded glues sticks are definitely better in my opinion the,non branded glues do not stick as well and although they may be more affordable they do not last long, if you buy Pritt sticks you will get a better quality 😊❤️

I use talcum powder on my hair. It sounds really strange but it works for me and it seems to make my hair look less greasy. You just have to be careful that you don’t get it everywhere because that’s what I always seem to do!😂 And make sure you rub it all in properly or you will look like a grey haired granny. I just prefer to use talcum powder as you can rub it in straight away or leave it for a while and it will make your hair look super fresh. I’m not sure if it works for all hair types but I’m blonde and I have fairly thin hair
