Get the kids kitted out for when the bell rings
There are only a few more weeks until the end of the school holidays and that means it’s time to start picking up everything the kids will need for the next academic year.
Skirts, trousers, jumpers – invariably the kids will have grown out of their old uniform so a trip to Marks & Spencer is a must. With some fantastic offers available and a huge choice there is definitely a style your kids won’t moan about wearing.
School shoes – armour plated is a must! To ensure you get something that is going to last the course next term, check out Clarks, Deichmann, Shoe Zone and a host of other shoe shops in EK.
Stationery – from pens, pencils and protractors to note pads, folders and calculators, WH Smith, Ryman and The Works will ensure your little and not so little ones have the tools they need to make their mark during the coming year.
This week’s winner Ellen McNeil, from Greenhills, was delighted to have her name drawn and can’t wait for her shopping spree.
The soon to be 80-year-old is having a very special birthday bash later this month and with 12 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandson she won’t run short of ideas on how to splash the cash.
And the pensioner said she wasn’t expecting this early present as she never wins anything!
