Playschool (Clothing) Related Issues

I'm quite fussy with regards the clothes and shoes I dress my children in.

Elder says this is down to blatant snobbery on my part. However, as a kid my parent's didn't have much disposable income, and perhaps didn't know of the life or death importance of dressing right and having certain items when it comes to school and your fellow classmates.


Whilst I don't spend ridiculous amounts of money on clothes- I'm an excellent bargain spotter and list EBay shopping as a hobby and life skill, my kids often get remarked upon as dressing tidy and nice.


Most other parent's probably have two separate piles at home, for clothes for wearing on weekends or when at a special occasion, and another pile of tattier play clothes for playschool.

#Gettogether for Oxfam- What Freedom Means to Me

It's Thursday so that means its time for the link for you all to post your posts around the topic of "What Freedom Means To Me"- and remember that when you go off and pimp those posts at Twitter, Facebook, Britmums, Mumsnet and anywhere else you can think of, make sure you let the masses know the posts are for Oxfam's #GetTogether.


Without further waffling, here's my own post based on the title.


Freedom. Its a great word isn't it? 

#GetTogether for Oxfam: Writing Prompt

As I mentioned yesterday, today marks the start of #gettogether for Oxfam and their wider events around International Women's Day (which is officially held on the 8th of March). 


Here in the West, we women are lucky in many ways. We very rarely experience inequality, and not in the ways our less well off sisters do in places like Ghana.

#GetTogether Week Starts Tomorrow!

This is just a little post to remind anyone interested (hopefully that's lots of you and your mates too) that my special week for Oxfam starts right here tomorrow morning.


If you are having withdrawal symptoms from the incredibly popular Do Something Yummy prompts, then come back here tomorrow morning from 9am. I will have a question for you to write, vlog, whatever you like, which ties in nicely with International Women's Day.
