Clarks school shoes - learning about value

I took the boys to Clarks this week to get fitted for their school shoes. "Clarks" I hear you cry "call yourself a thrifty mum"!

Yes Clarks. For us Clarks is about value for money and price per wear. Mini has wide feet and a high instep and trashes shoes from pretty much anywhere but Clarks. We have tried buying from other shops but each time the shoes have not lasted and we have ended up back at Clarks. I would much rather the boys grow out of their shoes then wear them out at this age.

I am always confident that the fitting experience is good in our local Clarks and if we are having any issues with the shoes then they take them back and exchange them no quibble.

In fact both the boys school rom last year were in good enough condition to be passed on to friends for their children this year.

What to know the secrets to keeping your childrens shoes in such great condition, they head over to The Mad House for our shoe care top tips.

Disclosure: I was gifted shoes for the boys from Clarks.

Bissell Vac and Steam Machine Review and Giveaway

I have hard floors downstairs which I love. They are much more practical than carpet with 2 mucky boys and a dog. Over the past 8 years I have tried all sorts of ways to keep them clean and I think I have finally found the product that does that for me. It is the Bissell Vac and Steam Machine . This amazing suel action machine vacuums and steam cleans either independently or at the same time. It means that I have done away with my vacuum and steam cleaner downstairs (which I gave to my brother in law). What I like: You can either vacuum or steam clean or do both It is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre The handle is adjustable great for a home with people of different heights and for getting the kids involved. You need no chemicals The pads are washable and reusable It comes with a two year guarantee It warms up fast (within 30 seconds) so no long wait to start cleaning It costs under £100 It is space saving. No need for a separate vacuum, steam cleaner or mop.
