Hi my mum thinks I prioritise my daughters over my son I have always bought my daughters expensive vans as school shoes now that my son has started to wear cheap primark plimsolls as school shoes similar to vans my mum thinks my daughters should be in the primark ones aswell because I can't afford to buy my son a pair should they ?

But phoenix, to such a gnat any response is better than none, which is why the only solution is to ignore its posts.

The hide of a rhinoceros, the intellectual capacity of a gnat.

(A particularly challenged gnat at that)

Anyway I can only afford to spend as little as possible on my son but he is ok with that

Liza80 Sun 22-Feb-15 19:30:52

Vans are an expensive style of plimsolls

Penstemmon Sat 21-Feb-15 19:30:34

Transit Vans? Camper Vans?

Jonquils were one of the styles on the list of approved indoor shoes at my school. I remember having at least one pair but I think they were light tan not ox blood.

I can't recall that name janea all I know is that I really really wanted a pair.As you say they were the bees' knees and so were the girls who had them.

Ann do you mean Clarks' Jonquils? I was thinking about them yesterday and couldn't find a link.
They were slip-on shoes, the top came half-way down the top of your foot, and there was a strap across the top of the leather, with a buckle at the side. They were a dark red-brown colour.

All the older girls had them at my secondary school, but for the first year I had to wear my old lace-ups. I finally got a pair in the second form and thought I was the bees' knees.

And are trolls allowed?
I think Katie Hopkins gets called a troll.

soontobe Sat 21-Feb-15 11:19:04

So what is a troll? I am confused.

Soutra Sat 21-Feb-15 11:18:35

Not meant unkindly, rosequartz. Hence grin

rosequartz Sat 21-Feb-15 11:13:34

Yes, soon - even my ungrammatical post grin

annsixty Sat 21-Feb-15 11:12:04

No rose they were shoes not sandals and my best friend had them (ox blood).I lusted after them. They were dark reddish brown. And I'm sure the style was a for runner of the "penny loafer"if you know them. I should say this was around 1950/51!!!

Any rubbish is allowed?

The OP hasn't broken any GN rules, soontobe.
