          :boogie: Hello cantbearit
          I did not order any ring file as I will be recycling them from her P1. As for textbook, i received ALL except the social studies student folio . Other outstanding items will be the pupil helpmate and ALL the MCS booklets.
          My wild guess is that the teacher will either ask my girl to go collect from the bookshop OR will hand them out in class. Yr girl in P2 also?
          Same items missing except for the ring files.

          E MCS booklets shld be handed out by teachers cos saw a small remark beside e item. IM juz puzzled tat e ring files had no markings beside it, unlike e other items wif red pen markings indicating e items r inside e box.

          E asterix markings for other items have been issued under credit note so I have no issue wif tat. :imcool:

          guess i will check call eir hotline to chk on e ring files. ey shld at least issue a credit note for it. :rant:

          Frankly, IM not v pleased wif this online purchase. ey even made a mistake on e delivery date. :slapshead: Luckily I was at hm but wasted an entire nite waiting 4 e delivery man. :mad: Tink I will rather purchase at e sch during e walk-in dates come nex yr. Tis was wat i did last yr & everythg went smoothly.

          Yes, my DD1 will b in P2 Perseverance. Which class is yur DD in?

            They have a point, buy fitting clothes not too big or too small. Great for adults buying clothes but for kids who tend to grow too fast...

            If my wife doesn't come along to stop me at United, I'm going to buy a pinafore that is until my kid's shin! ๐Ÿ™‚ No, until her black Bata shoes!

            But seriously, I don't know what to do about the armhole if the pinafore is too big. Hello Kitty singlet / tee inside?

                Mmm..agreed on the point that actually DD will look better in fitting uniform but alas...mummy's pocket one big hole ...so mummy not very happy when $$$ keeps flying away .Year end= $$$ to buy books etc.

                LOL :yikes: to her Bata shoes!

                Mmm, regarding the armhole, so far i did not let my DD wear any singlet inside as I am worried she may feel warm( she is the type who will complaint even at the slightest warmness! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ).

                  You can get United Uniform to alter the armholes of the pinafore for free at point of purchase. Perhaps you can call since you've already bought them?

                    Hi, can anyone advise me what will the girls (those exempted from MT) do or where will they go to when the other students are having their MT lessons? Tks!

                      ohdaddy, when I insisted on having the larger pinafore, the uniform lady said she will tuck in the armhole by 3/4 of an inch.
