Back to School Ready for less than £50 with PEP&CO at Poundland




Being a family on a budget, we're a huge fan of discount retailers. We're always on the look out for great deals wherever we can get them, so when PEP&CO and Poundland challenged us to get back to school ready for less than £50 we jumped at the chance.

We headed to their Liverpool Store and we were pleasantly surprised with what we found. Two packs of polo shirts from only £2! In to the basket!


Top of the list though, was a new school coat. We've been searching for a while and the prices were all upwards of £25 so when I saw this gorgeous black faux fur hooded coat for just £12, it went straight in the basket!



Next up the all important skirt and pinafore. Again - a bargain at just £3 for the skirt and £4.50 for the pinafore.

There was plenty of styles to choose from...



Little E was really impressed with the shoes, and so was I at just £8!!




We picked up loads of accessories too, a 2 pack of vests (£2.50), a 5 pack of grey knee socks (£3.50), 2x 2 pack black tights (£4 each) and a 5 pack white ankle socks (£3.50) for that awkward transitional period when they first go back.





We came in well under the budget so we bought lots of stationary to fill her school back with the rest! Little E loves her back to school uniform! She cant wait to show it off to her friends!











Disclosure: We received a £50 voucher to enable us to complete this challenge.

The Debenhams Back to School Competition #DebsDreamUniform

Since it's a rainy Bank Holiday Monday, the children are bored - at least I think they are - they've only told me a hundred times! Yesterday when I was catching up on my favourite blogs I came across The Debenhams Back to School Competition over at Mellow Mummy blog. So to stem the boredom Mister A headed over to the Debenhams website to complete the challenge....

He took about abhor to decide (I am not kidding!) and finally selected his ideal uniform from the selection of boys wear at Debenhams. These were his final choices...


Mantaray Long Sleeve Bear Top from £10
RJR John Rocha Turquoise Trousers from £18

Sketchers 'Yoke' High Tops £40

He loves the outfit so much that he decided to draw himself wearing it...



Here he is explaining why he choose his outfit...




Little E had a go too - although since she's only starting school in September the novelty of wearing a uniform hasn't yet worn off! She choose a Summer dress with a winter hat and scarf and some rainbow coloured Sketchers...

She did draw a picture too but she made me promise not to post it because she accidentally made her hair in to a beard!

So there you have it - our entry in the the #DebsDreamUniform Comp!
