hi

Daunting isn't it.
My littlest DD is starting as well

I have 2 older DD's and have found I need:

At least 3 summer dresses, so that you can wash them and get them dried in time.
2 Winter pinafores, as they wear skivvies or blouses underneath, so I don't have to wash the Pinny every day, make the dress last 2 days and the tops get washed everyday.
The tops I put underneath are just the cheap skivvies from best and less, target or big W, don't buy the proper school ones, they are so expensive. I have at least 3 tops, to put underneath.
I have 1 pair of tracksuit bottoms for sport, 1 pair of sports shorts, and a couple of sports polo shirts (again from the cheaper shops).
2 cardigans (they are bound to drop something dodgy down one).
1 winter coat.
A couple of hats (these will get lost in the kindy years), it's really annoying.
Loads of white socks (the washing machine eats them )
A few pairs of stockings in the winter.
Lots of school bobbles and slides, these go missing as well.
1 pair of sports joggers/shoes.
Good pair of school shoes, I've found it's not worth getting the cheap ones as they don't last, so I get Clarks (they get me through the year).

Hope that helps.
