9 things you only know if your kids go back to school in Liverpool

It’s nearly the start of the new school year, congrats parents you made it through summer!

It’s a pivotal moment in time for any parents, guardians or carers of school age children. If you’re sitting pretty with all your pencils in a row and uniforms ironed and ready, you can afford to chill…

But for those who’ve left it last minute, we’ve prepared a list of what you can expect when you hit the shops for the dreaded school uniform run.

Here’s 9 thing you only know if your kids go back to school in Liverpool next week….

1 – Walking up the stairs to the kids section in Clarks like you’re walking the green mile.

2 – Getting that same Clarks feeling when you drive past Laser on London Road knowing you will soon be joining that queue….in the rain.

3 – You’ve uttered the words ‘HOW MUCH?’, ‘You’ll grow into them’ and ‘You Don’t NEED a Smiggle pencil case’.

4 – Coming close to having a melt down because your baby boy is now a teenage lad and wears a size 11 shoe.

5 – You’re in one of two camps. The ‘Why did I leave everything til the last minute’ camp or the smug ‘Oh yeah I bought everything as soon as they broke up’ camp.

6 – Fuming in Marksies because they’ve moved the kids section AGAIN, adding more drama to the situation.

7 – Had a little reminisce at wearing Kickers back in the day. Those red and green dots were the beast!

8 – Watching your 8 year old kick off, full on sobbing because the Trolls lunch bag she wanted has sold out. FML

9 – Investing in 487 bobbles, hairbands, ribbons and bows in school colours despite knowing that come Christmas/Easter you wont have a single one left.
