£200+ spent and Miss Hickett is ready for Senior School except for small items like socks and undies - she has 3 of every item of clothing, plus a sports top and shorts, shoes, trainers, pens, pencils,felt tips, rubbers,pencil sharpeners, pencil case and large bag to weigh down her shoulders as she staggers to the bus. Her brother has 3 prs of trousers and a pair of school shoes (another £75) but has to continue wearing what he has from last year.
All we need to find now is £60 per week for the bus fares and lunches for the two of them - if my parents had had to find such sums I would be totally uneducated now.
On the good side Miss Hickett has had extensive work done on her teeth over 4 visits to the dentists and along with three visits to the orthodontist she now has a mouth full of 'scaffolding' to straighten her beautiful but crooked teeth - all this treatment cost nothing
thanks to our wonderful, wonderful, NHS....we are so lucky.
