BACK TO SCHOOL
Have the summer holidays gone in a flash? Are you panicking you won’t have the kids ready to go back to school in time? Well, don’t. Here’s how to make it easy…
EVERY year it’s the same: when the children break up, the summer holiday feels endless, then – whoosh! – you’ve blinked and it’s the end of August. The house is in chaos, the kids don’t fit into any of their old clothes and you couldn’t find a pen or pencil if your life depended on it.
Fear not – our brilliant guide will take you through everything you need to do, from buying the best uniforms and school staples to ideas for lunch boxes even the fussiest eaters will love. Remember, the best thing you can do is not to leave it till the last minute. So go and find nd everything the kids brought home from school on that last ast day, and decide what to keep, ep, use as a hand-me-down, give ve to charity or throw away.
Now you can make a list of everything you need for the new term – from maths sets and Biros to PE shorts and new shoes – which will guide you through the inevitable bunfight that is ‘back to school shopping’.
Just go as soon as you can – the best things sell out early. Then you can relax in the knowledge it’s all over for another year!
