Hi there,

We are lost in freedom of choice ...

My girl is starting secondary (st dunstans) and l have no clue what kind of bags children have.

Rucksack (big or small)? Kind of shoulder bag?

Do they have to carry a lot of heavy books or only work sheets?

Colourful or plain?

Any input would be really helpful!

My girls settled on this style - initially expensive but last a couple of years - and lots of choice of colour

I would definitely NOT get messenger bag - they carry large amounts of books which are extremely heavy and will hurt when carried on one shoulder. Go for a rucksack type? Plus, they have to carry sports kit, musical instruments etc and two spare hands is great.

One of mine has a messenger bag, one has a rucksack, both are happy and have no problems (though their bags do seem to weigh a ton). Get whatever style she wants, in whatever colour she wants. She'll change her mind a few weeks into term anyway once she's had a chance to check out what everyone else has. Come Christmas you'll be getting her a new one. :D

      Up the reform

      But we’re not in Canada so why celebrate their recent election? Wasn’t their winner our Bank of England director up until his defection to his homeland of Canada? He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.

      I expect that they consider it should be a free choice what to do with your waste, and that segregating it is a waste of money, no doubt it's all a woke conspiracy.  I expect that others are more up to speed with Reform policies. I should have asked Nigel when I was drinking with him.  Well within the vicinity of him in Westminster pubs a couple of times.

      Let's see how a Leader and party that thrive on division and demonising elements of our society actually do when they have to deliver. Let's hope that the two main parties don't consider that the best way to fight Reform is to become like then. Even less reason to visit the small town where I grew up.  Not a cause for any joy or celebration. Happy to celebrate the Canadian result.

      The Reform Party has surely taken the Conservatives and Labour by surprise? I’ve been a Conservative voter since the age of 18 and voted for them in the General Election last Summer. Sadly Labour were elected but their policies on so many issues have been their downfall as they did not stick to them.
