Running day, came home and changed into the comfiest dress on earth and other clothes you've seen before. I reckon those black jeans are front-runners for 'most worn' during this project/my life.
That snood, which I was also wearing yesterday, was a panic buy when the trigeminal neuralgia set in two winters ago.
Item is in a white long-sleeved Boden t-shirt which has a huge red apple printed off-centre. She's sitting on one of these, if you're wondering.
I picked the jeans up in Peacocks when she started going through the knees of all her other ones, and I decided she was too nearly growing out of them to make them worth patching.
They're boys' jeans. The girls' jeans were something like £4 more expensive, and thinner material. I should probably be outraged about this, but I'm not that familiar with Peacocks, so I don't know whether their pricing is always that way, or whether it was just the way the various special offers had panned out that week. I am pretty sure, from anecdotal evidence, though, that tougher clothes and shoes for boys are the norm across a large number of shops - I've even seen the marketing in Clarks reflect this.
I don't have a </patriarchy> t-shirt to wear and draw in this project, but anyone who follows me on Pinterest will know I've been eyeing some up.

Yes, we've had it a while. I think it was a 'sod everything' purchase at a particularly down part of life. I recommend it - surprisingly versatile, works as a footstool or a child seat, and it definitely cheered me up at the time.

Glad the software installed fine, I probably have a few other bits and pieces but may be best not to clog up your harddrive with unnecessaries until you need them.
Inks are lovely.
That's nice of you about the software, thank you. :) I *still* haven't transitioned to the Mac, presumably to the annoyance of The Boy. I need to figure out how to get all the very many complex passwords I keep in a protected program from the PC to the Mac before I do that.
Girls' knickers are thicker than boys' pants, even for little children - who will be doing things like sliding down slides etc.
I noticed recently that Boots had, in the babywear section, boys' jeans, which were, you know, denim jeans; and girls' jeans, which were skinny leg - really ideal for babies.
If I had the time I'd harness some of my colleagues' (the ones who are parents of girls, probably) skills into making a 'report ingrained sexist nonsense being sold to the under tens' website.
As it happens, Item's boys' jeans look really nice, in a kind of hip-hop way. They are a bit baggy.
(I think you mean thinner knickers for girls?)
