Way back in November we bought Timmy & Luke some new trainers. Both of the boys are very decisive when it comes to choosing shoes so it is usually a very quick trip to Clark's. On this particular visit the boys chose their shoes in seconds & we paid for them & left the shop. As we were getting into the car I noticed that one of Timmy's trainers lights didn't flash. I went back into the shop only to find that there were no more pairs of those trainers in Timmy's size & the shop couldn't order them in for us. So Timmy tried on a LOT of other trainers but was still certain that he liked the grey ones the best. The manager gave us the customer order number for us to ring & order the shoes ourselves but in the meantime she said Timmy could still wear the faulty trainers... Lee rang Clark's warehouse a few weeks later & they sent out a new pair of shoes which we had to pay for over the phone & then when they arrived take the faulty pair back to the shop to get a refund. Anyway, when the new trainers arrived they'd sent the wrong size!!!!! By the time we got back to the Clark's shop Timmy's trainers had gone into the sale but luckily there was one pair left in his size. So we ended up getting a refund on 2 & a half pairs of shoes & Timmy had a new pair of shoes 2 months after we'd bought his last pair even though his feet hadn't grown! I was quite pleased, but what a palaver eh?!
By the way, the title of this post is how Jordan spells new! And lastly, a big Happy Birthday to Lauren for today! ;0)

Nice pics of Tim. Took me a while to work out the logistics of all that to-ing and fro-ing! Reminds me of when you were small and we were 'strapped for cash' as they say! We bought a Hotpoint machine from the local paper or £9.99 knowing it needed a part replacing. They'd had a fire at the spares factory so we ended up with a brand new £400 plus machine for £99! a special offer! It lasted a good 6 years like yours!
Love to little Tim and the rest of the tribe. xx Mum
