LOL.

Consider yourselves well and truly told.. Who needs Mr ****** to chastise (We can keep him for the importnant stuff, like keeping the site up and running.) When we have our very own Dame Hel..

How are those Yr 7s doing Dame Hel?

NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO... We do not advertise, we are making genuine recommendations (or suggestions)

"Cheapest and most basic in the shop and I can't work it."

And that's an advert?

Yep, my husband bought that; we returned it the next day as the battery compartment would not close properly.

Then bought a much more elegant Samsung (higher price but more airtime to start with). End of advertising section!

Did you return it together or did he do it on his own? If you purchased the elegant Samsung together the next day(i.e. went to shops with him), I am going to lose a11 hope..men wi11 never be able to multi-task.

No, my son returned it with him the next day and personally ensured that the elegant replacement was purchased on the spot! The little man seems to be a much more able male overall, if not very financially conscious.

He'll grow out of it - they all do in the end.

We've just had to buy our second bag already

My son needs his own Sherpa! Honestly, you'd think that he was going mountaineering in the Himalayas for a week instead of to school for a day!
His first bag was an expensive one (admittedly heavily reduced, but originally over Â£20!)- and this time we've picked up one for just over Â£5. If they're going to tear at the seams that quickly, we may as well replace the cheaper ones!

I can beat that. We're now on our fourth.

Bag 1: original primary school number.
Bag 2: cheapy from the market - couldn't get the zips to move.
Bag 3: reduced item (originally Â£20). Perfect design. Daughter loved it. Pastel pink. Lots of pockets. Seams ripped.
Bag 4: the one she'd always wanted, and I'd refused to buy, from John Lewis. "Monkey" bag (many of you may recognise this). Lots of pockets. Wonderful zips. 2-year guarantee. The downside? Â£52.
