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.

Mister A : First Day At School
We had wanted to walk but the weather denied us the short stroll and so we drove, all of us together, our family. I took him in via the wrong entrance - obviously - and he got settled in straight away.
Anxious parents gathered in the classroom - each one not wanting to leave first but not wanting to hang around long enough to look too clingy. I stood awkwardly, it was my first day too!
I watched him for 7 minutes. These 7 minutes lasted longer than any other 7 minutes of my life. A little bit of my heart broke seeing him run off and start playing without even a second thought for the enormity of the day.
A part of me wanted him to say "Don't go Mummy" but I knew that he was loving the 'new school experience' and I know in my heart that I'd much prefer him to be nonchalant than cling to my leg and beg me to stay.
I kept calling him over, "Mummy's going now" "Ok, Bye" he replied not even looking at me.
"Mister A, come here, I'm going, have a nice day" "Ok Mummy, Bye" he kissed me on the cheek and wandered off.
I called him again, "Bye, Mister A, can I have a kiss?" He returned to me and kissed me, I pulled him close, hugged him tight and then let him go - I could sesnse I was beginning to p*ss him off with my constant calling across the classroom! That's when it hit me. That is when I realised that it was me that wanted to cling to his leg and ask him not to go.
I am sad, I am happy, I am proud.... I am a Mummy.
