Will 20 pairs of socks be enough?

**Helcatt** · 25-10-2009, 05:13pm

I have a child who seems to think its a good idea to pull socks off and throw one away almost every time she is in the buggy

And she's even working out how to get laces undone and pulling shoes off.

I asked dh to pick up extra socks the other day and he came back with two pairs from Next

I got 20 pairs from Peacocks for £8 - hope that will last me a few days

...err... try tights?

DS2 was like this, we lost shoes and all sorts. I feel your pain.

But def go with the tights.

Or buy socks that are all the same colour, you can then match the odd ones up!!

Tights are a good option, dd1 used to try and pull them off!

DH would do something like that

Failing the tights option you can get the band things in Mothercare that slip on the heel of the sock so they can't get the socks off. I didn't get them (I have a sock thrower that is now in tights) as they looked a little too much like elastic bands for my liking

arrghhh how frustrating!

my first thoguht was also what about tights and matching socks so you can pair them up!!

if not then just masking tape them around the top

(obviously joking there

)
