I know that my daughter is more preoccupied about having the latest phone rather than which dress or pair of jeans she's wearing. She goes to Primark and so do most of her friends. R.

My daughter and lots of her friends get alot of their stuff there too (it's called penneys here) It's actually my son who costs me a small fortune on clothes and shoes because it's all the branded sports stuff he wants and all his friends get, they're so expensive

Primark is wonderful really. Trends with girls change so quickly it's great that there's such an affordable way to keep up with them. I would have thought there'd be a stigma about getting clothes from a "cheap shop" but my daughter doesn't seem to care, neither do her friends. "A cute dress is a cute dress" i can hear her say now haha.

When my eldest was growing up there were sports brand everywhere. My eldest was a bit of a tomboy and liked dressing in trackies and caps and sportswear. They were the cool clothes and it cost me a fortune! I thought sports brands had gone out of fashion but it seems to have made a bit of a comeback lately. I see a lot of people in sports brands again now. My youngest hates them however, she likes "girly girly clothes" as my wife would say. R.

Yeah, it seems perfectly acceptable for the girls in daughters school to buy and wear primark stuff. They could spend hours in there looking around and buying stuff......(she doesn't take after me, I hate shopping )

I can't stand it either. My daughter is 'too old' to go shopping with her dad now anyway. I used to get told off for anything I picked out for her! Better i'm not there really! I like helping Margaret shop, she always asks my opinion. However, clothes shopping for me - no thank you! I'm easy to please. I'll got to M&S and just pick out a few shirts and I'm done! Don't want to waste any more time than i need to! R.
