Mum-of-22 Sue Radford reveals chaos of buying new school uniforms for her huge brood
BUYING school uniforms can be expensive for many parents - and this is true for mum-of-22 Sue Radford.
The busy mum, 47, from Lancashire, uploaded a video sharing how she popped to Asda to pick up this year’s bumper school shop.
“Guys I cannot believe that Archie is off to big school, he is so so excited.
“I absolutely love doing the school shop at @georgeatasda!
“They've always proven to be the best quality and value for money, plus @georgekidswear have loads of sizes in store so I can get everyone sorted in one go.

“Hope you guys have a great rest of the summer with your little ones.”
Sue grabbed some polo shirts that were two for £3.50 and trousers for £10.
She also got £8 joggers for their PE kits and £7 iron-free school dresses.
And when it came to school shoes, the kids loved the £15 Minnie Mouse and also the Batman light-up ones.
The mum said: “A light-up shoe is always a winner in our house.”
Previously Sue, who is mum to Britain’s biggest family, revealed the whopping cost of kitting her kids out for new school uniforms for September.
Every September for the past 20 year or so years, a new Radford has started primary school - and so the summer holidays are an expensive time.

“The school bill is horrendous.
“The blazers, the ties, the shirts, the trousers, PE kits, the bags.”

Noel said: “I love paying for school uniforms.”
Sue joked: “Just don’t look at your bank balance and you’ll be fine.”
