DS has been assurring me for weeks that his shorts still fit him. Well, yesterday I asked him to show me and guess what ...?
So I'm off to Tesco soon to get him some more. I don't want to spend a fortune as he only ever wears shorts in Florida (and we don't go every year) but I'm a bit worried as we were in Kingston yesterday (before I knew he needed shorts) and a lot of summer stuff was already in the sales.:scared1:
Wish me luck.

I bought my eldest who is 11 some lovely clothes from Tesco and Asda :thumbsup2
Asda had a lot of universal tops and lovely shorts, they have the adjustable waist as well which really helps as my 11 year old has a small waist, he is still in 8-9 :confused:

My DS is 18 so should be more responsible. He has a job so can buy any clothes he actually wants - as for clothes he needs, if I'm paying for them I'll choose them!
I think he thought that jeans and a t-shirt would be OK for WDW! He's been in August before so he should know better!

When we were in town last week we saw the sales had started and I ended up buying some holiday stuff then as I was worried it would all go.

Semi successful trip. Not as cheap as I'd have liked. Now I've just got to get him to try them on - which might take a few days!

Even less successful than I thought. I had to take them back as they were too big for him and they hadn't got any the next size down. So back to square 1.
