G23 -
Ariadne - NuttyButty sounds like something one might eat.

This reminds me of the time my teenage son's ripped jeans were just too indecent even for him. I came home to find him using my sewing machine to try to make them presentable. In spite of his having read and understood the instructions, the jeans were past repair - but it was an honourable effort. My 9-year-old GD doesn't go for the tatty effect, but she is so slim that the jeans might as well be painted on.

Oh! I am so sorry Butternut! My only excuse is a long nail on my left Index
Finger. Just goes to show what a difference one letter makes.

butternut told by my DGCs "don't you know it's the style nana" when going to trim the tatty edges off their jeans,so banned from the ironing basket in case I try to trim the hems.
DS1 even though he is now mid 30's used to pay stupid prices for his jeans when he was based in Colchester he would go into London and pay £100+ for a pair of jeans that I would have put in the rag bag,so there you go no explaining style.
My own DGD has a small in put into her choice of clothing but as DD is on a strict budget and needs wearability from her clothes she puts her in jeans and T shirts and track suits we have no trouble with her on style as yet but expect it to start when she goes to big school next year.Best of luck butter

They sound a bit like my jeans!!

NuttyButty?

like the name....

Brilliant re-naming, Granny23!

Hmmmm, I wonder if I should change to it .......?

G23, did you really mean to re-name Butty?

Good advice from Nutternut. I was in Asda yesterday and they are practically giving away children's summer clothing - everything reduced to silly prices to make way for the Back to School stock. I'd let your GD loose in there or another supermarket. The clothes won't last but you only have her for a month!

I can't think of anything I would have loved better than to be taken shopping by a grandmother.
This is what I'd probably do:
Decide on a budget.
Halve it.
Say that your granddaughter can choose anything she likes with her half. (clothes, naff jewelry, hair stuff etc. - it will probably all be dire anyway - grin and bear it)
Tell her that the other half is for you to choose (probably) more practical/sensible clothing.
This way, you'll both have a great time shopping.
Enjoy.

The jeans sound great by the way.
