My mum said nothing and neither have I to my daughter.

But not for any other reason than the school has said it before we even got a chance.

At first she would buy them for me, but then I figured I would by them myself because she was outdated where products are concerned....

I know my daughter won't like that option though, she's super shy, so I will make sure I buy it for her once she starts hers and I'm pretty sure she will approve of the brand I choose, if not, its definitely open for discussion.

Also I will make sure to stock up so she doesn't need to tell me last minute.
