What on earth does my daughter get up to?





I honestly have no idea what my little missy gets up to while shes at school,
She goes through an average of around 5 pairs of shoes per term!!
The poor little soul has walked around with her shoes like this for god knows how long :(
(awful mother alert)
I knew they were scuffed but with only 2 and abit weeks left at school it seemed pointless buying another pair because come the new term they'd no longer fit,  Until when she was making her jellyfish for the jellyfish races I noticed a little toe poking out at me!
Thank god she has a spare pair that I had totally forgot about and found when I went to look for a rough size of what she will be for next term in september.
These shoes were a spare set ready for when the other pair gave up on her but she fell in love with them and wore them instead, I'm amazed how long they actually lasted with the sole being the thinner kind that with Issy usually only have a month life span on them.
I've been recommended kickers but this little missy of mine refused to wear her last pair :(
I either need shares in a shoe company or we need some steel toe caps for this little lady.

Any recommendations of school shoes with a 'scuff resistant' front that
 is actually scuff resistant or that could survive the test of my little miss?

Scuffity scuff




Today I went and grabbed the girls some new shoes before we headed to the park for the day,  because Issy's new sandals I bought from eBay her toes are hanging right off the ends and both girls are in serious need of some summer shoes.
Issy chose hers and was really chuffed with them
so when we got to subway she got changed into them, then we headed to Wilkinsons (a few feet away)
while I nipped in to get us some more plant pots to decorate 
she stayed outside and played a small bit of football with Andy. I wasn't even gone for 5 minutes 
and I came out to a tiny scuff and the front of her shoe gaping away at me!!
Playing football in them really wasn't daddy's wisest choice but I'd have hoped that 
they could handle a small bit of football considering they are being worn by a child?
Issy is a super scuffer but never have they scuffed so quickly they literally had just over 5 minutes of wear :(
I still have the receipt and will be taking them back tomorrow to swap for another pair that hopefully can manage more than 5 minutes of wear.
Andy has said he will glue them but £7 and 5 minutes of wear at the most
really isn't that impressive at all.

We never did make it to the park as Daisie really isn't well at the moment.
