Bedfordshire, which is quite a long way from Croyden

You could just buy him the new trainers and challenge him to see how far he can run in them.

If they are any good he won't be back for weeks

Well, turned out genius child lived to his reputation... The reason the trainers were different prices was because the cheaper ones were children's ones!

So then when he started about the socks and shorts, I said no way, if the trainers are the expensive ones, no way I am paying for the rest.

Long story short, we found another pair, £18!!! and he got his shorts and socks, so it cost me less, he got all he wanted, that's what I call a result.

Kids! Why didn't I listen to my mother?

[Bookworm]

Well, SHE had kids, so was hardly worth listening to!

[tiglet]

That's probably why it was worth listening to ...

So once again give and take on both sides wins out. Just how all good well adjusted families work and " alls well that ends well "

or if I may be cynical.... so what was all the bloody fuss about in the first place.
