Taking you back to school – the final winners

By Rochelle Symons in News on Monday 30th August, 2010

Our Facebook competition to win a lifetime supply of school uniforms has now come to an end. Thank you to everyone who entered, we have had a great response and have loved reading about your memories from school.

Not to keep you waiting any longer… our final two winners are:

Jayne Hyman


Jayne’s funniest story was: ‘My funniest memory of school would be dyeing my hair red with a colour mousse when I was about 13. I was careful not to wash much of it out as I wanted the red to be as bright as possible, but on the way to school it rained and I ended with red streaks all over my face and neck! I had to dash to a bathroom to clean up but the red stained my skin and I spent the rest of the day trying to hide my face! I say “funny” memory – it wasn’t then but it makes me chuckle now :)’

Ele Wilson


Ele’s funniest story was: ‘Okay, my ‘funniest’ moment in infant school was also my most embarrassing as you’re about to find out! I was only in my first year, aged 4, when I stepped outside the classroom at playtime and walked towards the railings…without thinking, I placed my head through the railings to get a better view and yes, you’ve guessed it, I got stuck!! Teachers tried in vain to free my head but it wouldn’t budge….next step, the fire brigade!! After about an hour, they managed to pry the bars open and free my poor little head – I was a laughing stock! 3 weeks later I left that school and some 13 years later I met my current partner and when I told him about what had happened to me he asked if I was wearing a pink dress……I WAS! Turns out he was in the year above and could remember the incident well – I still can’t shake the shame lol’

Jayne and Ele congratulations, you have won a lifetimes supply of school uniform*! Please drop us an email, to claim your prize.

Taking you back to school – The competition winners

By Rochelle Symons in Back To School, News on Wednesday 18th August, 2010

As you may know we have been running a competition on our Facebook page to win a lifetime supply of school uniform*.

We have had a great response and would like to thank everyone who has entered so far! You’ve given us quite a giggle in the office. But we don’t want to keep you in suspense any longer… the first two winners are:

Ellen Stafford


Ellen’s funniest story was: “Here is me aged 5, my first school photo. My memory comes from a little later in life when I was in my early teens. I was given an essay to do as homework from my science teacher on fungi. I hated science and wasn’t very good and to be honest I didn’t actually do my homework till the lunchtime before it was due in so I decided to be funny and instead of write about fungi….I wrote a list of all the fun guys I knew (I the boys I was hanging around with at the time) and why I thought they were fun. I got into a lot of trouble for it!”

Jo Kelly


Jo’s funniest story was: “My funniest (& slightly naughty) memory of school was; when I was 8 years old we’d moved house, thus resulting in a change of school. The thing is, the school colours were completely different, I wore a red summer dress in my old school & the new school was navy! My mum said it didn’t matter, there was plenty of wear left in the red one so I could continue to wear it until the summer was over!”

“Well, as you can imagine, it was the end of the world for me, I was mortified, I already stuck out like a sore thumb & was not impressed at all, so the next day I went into school & cut my summer dress right up the middle, with scissors, right from the bottom to the top!! It was completely ruined, job done, she’d have to get me a blue one now… Or NOT! Mum simply called my Nan & got her to sew it right up in the middle! So, I was stuck with the red dress for the rest of the year & now it was a seriously scruffy looking red dress, haha.”

Ellen Stafford & Jo Kelly congratulations, you have won a lifetimes supply of school uniform*! Please drop us an email, to claim your prize.

Don’t worry if you haven’t entered yet, you still have time, and here are the details of how you can get involved.  Remember to take a look at our terms and conditions* before entering. Good luck!
