A few weeks ago, at the same time as the grocery delivery for sixteen bottles of pop and five tins of condensed tomato soup, I ordered clothes for bear from Matalan. I should have known there would be a problem as bear was poorly and insisting that I played plants versus zombies for him and I was exhausted, bewildered and confused. I have had good experiences with Matalan and their clothes do little ones very well. When bear was tiny I would always go to Matalan for his vests as they were really good quality for the price - or even just good quality. I am always happy to get stuff from there for him.
I checked the delivery today. For some reason I got a duplicate order, including one pair of jeans that wasn't duplicated and an extra tshirt. I took them back to the shop.
They were lovely about it. I explained that it was my fault. They reassured me that it was probably not (which I suspect was a kindly white lie) and happily took back the excess. I picked up a casual shirt for bear and six shirts for the next school year for him while I was there. I also picked up a pack of kid's coat hangers and a pair of sunglasses for bear. Bear inspected them, approved and now is wearing them while playing on the computer. I give it thirty six hours before he loses them.
I think I could do with perhaps two more shirts for summer for bear to supplement the ones I thought I had got. I will have a quick browse but to be honest I think he can get by with what he has.
