22 September 2015

Gumtree strikes gold again.  I ran them through the wash as soon as I got home of course, but as I was folding them up, I counted:

3 pairs of quality blue jeans
2 pairs of wind-pants (or 'jogging bottoms' as they would call them over here) (perfect for nursery and messy play!)
9 - yes- NINE long sleeved shirts
4 short-sleeved shirts/vests
3 skirts (2 school-type gray and one denim)
1 fleecy jumper-style warm dress
1 hoodie
1 fleece jacket
1 puffy winter coat

For the amazing price of £10 for the bundle.

When you consider that I probably would have paid between £10-£12 pounds for 1 pair of blue jeans in the *grocery* store.  Or maybe found 4 long sleeved shirts in a charity shop for a tenner.  Whew!  Can't beat that.

I spent the afternoon clearing out all the 2-3 and 3-4 size (roughly 2T and 3T) clothes from Felicity's dresser and wardrobe to make room for the clothes that fit her now.  While I was at it and while the kids were happy, I went ahead and did the same with Titus' 0-3 month clothes.  He's definately ready for the 3-6 month outifts.

So I feel we've hit a mile-stone for both kids.  Babies growing up....

  1. I'm really curious about American vs. British kids clothing sizes...because HB is solidly in 4T - even most 3T don't fit him right now. (Still slightly too short for the 5T sizes...but getting there...)

  2. Yeah. He's 1 and a half. Part of me is so proud and another part is incredibly dismayed.
