It’s that time of year again. There are the good bits, like buying new pencil cases and pencils and stationery goodies (I suspect I enjoy this part rather more than the boys do). And then the rubbish bits, such as the realisation that last term’s PE kit is too small on the day before school starts and the tedium of sewing on eleventy billion nametapes. One small person is back, one to go tomorrow and then maybe I can think straight for five minutes and share some knitting with you all. 
I can heartily recommend http://www.mynametags.com – you can order iron-on name tags for clothes, or name stickers for bags/lunch boxes etc or a mix of both. You can personalise them with your choice of logo. Fill it ou online and they deliver really quickly. I’ve used them for my older daughter since she was at nursery and have ordered some for the twins starting playgroup in October.
DD2 told me this morning that her PE kit’s a bit on the small side (both girls go back tomorrow). I’ve told her she’ll have to make do with it for a few days until I can go shopping On My Own!
I’m enjoying my last day of freedom before term starts for me tomorrow – staff meeting. The children start on Monday!
