Save Money With A Back To School Stock Take! Check Uniform & Supplies Before Shopping With Me Vlog 

I work in a shoe shop and I would recommend you buy the shoes as soon as you can. The later into august it gets, the styles start to sell out and then there’s not as many left. I would suggest buying half a size bigger in their shoes now to get the styles you want. You should have 14mm of room at the toe for room to grown which is roughly about a thump with. Hope that helps 😊 x

I'm done and order I want to get some of the easy wear as my son stuggled and I missed out last year so ended up with double so thing year I did everything the first week

My son is starting reception in September, and his school is all brand uniform from the school shop. With £9.50 for 1 shirt, wish they would make it more affordable as I can’t afford 5 sets of school uniform.

My little one just finished nursery, his 2-3 trousers were round his ankles 😅 his white polo tops didn't survive the paint, mud and sun cream 😳 and his jumpers were a bit short 😂 so whole new set for him in 3-4 ready for reception (he's 5 in September) still have to do the school shoes 🙈 and school haven't announced if he needs P.E kit, I tend to buy 2 logo jumpers and the rest Asda branded, and do the cubby like you showed with a uniform set out a day, my daughter starts rising 3s in January so I'll then have another uniform to buy so I'm sure I'll see the cost next year, where I am in Wales (I was messaging you Instagram recently) they go part time the term after 3 then full time nursery from age 3 x

My youngest has just left primary school she got her leavers hoody on the last day. Same as my oldest girls my middle one was the class of 2020 so she had a little bubble party to collect her hoody

My son is going into year 6 this year too, they only get their leavers hoody for the end of year residential which is in June next year

Would you not just let the kids get the wear out of the shoes during the summer then get new ones for school.

Bella is getting so tall

Zara is really starting to look grown up!!

I started last weekend after watching one of your old back to school stock take episodes. So far your process is a great help to me, someone who lacks attention control. My kids don't wear uniforms so that makes things a bit easier, but my youngest two are two-years and one-year old so they are not yet as helpful as your crew which makes things a bit harder. I'm loving the tips I've gathered from your videos and am trying desperately to get our family organized over the next month.

Are there specific places in Wales where you take old clothes to resell them or is everything just taken to the nearest charity shop if you don't/can't give them to a friend? I'm glad your kids live in an age where they don't have to carry around massive textbooks. I think the UK and other places have always been better about that than the US anyway, though. Backpacks and book bags in the US are now so heavy for students who don't go to "rich" schools that can use technology instead of paper books that kids are getting back injuries from lugging them around every day.

What is the name of the labels you use

I did this the first week after the broke up for summer it's great to just get ot out of the way

My daughter will be starting 7th grade on August 17th so really soon! She goes to public school so no school uniform except for her PE uniform but she has health 1st Semester so won’t need them until 2nd Semester and will have to try them on over winter break! The school provides a school supplies list. Lots of things she can reuse from last year but needed new notebooks and folders and of course pens and pencils. I also like to shop for school supplies when they go on clearance and put them away for next year or when she runs out of things! It’s still warm in the Chicagoland area so don’t have to worry about pants yet but should have her try them on before it gets cold in the next month or 2.

Wish we'd had leavers hoodies in primary school. They weren't a thing in the early tens. We had them leaving sixth form but I didn't want one as I have sensory issues with non 'zip up' hoodies, but I'd have loved the option at least. Does Will need a 'scientific' calculator yet? Kids seem to be introduced to more advanced maths operations earlier and earlier now so it wouldn't surprise me. If so I'd 100% recommend getting the 'solar powered' ones since they won't require any battery changes if it lasts the whole time he's in school. A friend of mine had the issue of her's running out of battery in the middle of a Maths GCSE exam so it seems more sensible to get a solar powered one. Does your kid's school have the option of shirts and ties, or is it just polo shirts? Same with whatever secondary they'll eventually go to? I remember Dylan wearing polo shirts in older videos but since you've since moved I'm not presuming your 'local' secondary would be Dylan's old Alma Mater if you get what I mean. My primary school only allowed polos in the summer term and mandated shirts and ties the rest of the time (I used to hate the feel of polo shirts so once I grew out of summer dresses my mum bought me 'summer blouses' instead as they were of the same material as the other shirts, except every new teacher assumed I wasn't wearing a tie and kept sending me to the principal- resulting in my mum having to tear strips off each one. The first year we did it my teacher was also VP and she said it didn't break school rules but clearly none of my teachers for the remaining 4 years got that memo) the reason I'm asking is because my primary school may have mandated ties, but since it demanded 4yr olds wear ties, they provided the option of elasticated ties, which most of us wore, and since pretty much no secondary school in my area has a polo shirt uniform (doesn't seem to be a thing in Northern Ireland, and interestingly enough most sixth forms that are attached to a school demand students wear uniforms too; there will often be some indication of maturity such as a different blazer, tie etc but over here you'll only see students wearing their own clothes to do A Levels if they go to a technical college), when my peers and I hit secondary we all really struggled with the fine motor skill of tying a tie properly after PE lessons as we weren't used to them. Since autistic people like myself and the little ones can struggle with fine motor skills like tying ties its occurred to me it might be useful for William to practice tying one next year to avoid any issues in the eventuality he is forced to wear one, I had numerous meltdowns in my first year due to not being able to tie my tie after PE quickly enough or after being 'tielanded' (someone pulling the end of your tie so that the knot goes absolutely tiny and is really hard to get out of), and the school pitched one hell of a fit over a friend who has Cerebral Palsy having his tie made into a clip on as he literally couldn't tie a tie due to how his hand muscles work, so good luck getting that listed as a disability accommodation if the school's anything like my old one was. It might be beneficial in the long run if that's going to be a thing in the future (may also be handy for any sixth forms that have 'professional' dress codes to know anyways if he goes to one in future years, for job interviews or for jobs that have a tie as part of the uniform) as he has time to perfect the skill instead of a sudden 'how do I do this' come July 2023. A family friend who has a child a year older than William is now having that problem as their old primary school didn't require a tie and its not going very well...

First

Last year my oldest got her leavers hoodie at the beginning of term so they could wear it all year and so they had it for their residential trip...I can't believe she starts high school this year

This is so crazy I was only thinking about this video you did before while I was pegging out the washing 🤣 and thinking I must re watch that and do a stock take! Made up you’ve made a new one! Really helpful we also have 4 children, with our eldest going up to high school this year 🤍

My sons first year in school, was nice to watch so I know what’s best to do next year when he’s already got old school uniform etc. thank you x

Your kids are lovely 🥰 this is a very helpful video.

Loved this video, my sons starting nursery in sept so it's nice knowing what to do. Can I just ask where you get your name labels? Thank you x

a Hi Ri!Subscriber from Philippines here🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽❤️❤️Take Care & God Bless Your Family❤️❤️

Great video Rhi x

Hi Rhi, I’m new to the uk coming from warmer region. pls how do you dress the kids for winter? Also what do they take in their school bags as I’m not sure how first day of school would be. Thanks, love all your videos

Here in east Devon they just wore the leavers hoodies for their PE day (as they wear it in) in all the local schools. Our ‘different’ for year six is all kids must wear proper shirts (not polos) and they get given a tie to wear in prep for secondary school. It is adorable 🥰
