The parents of Britain's biggest brood have shared how they get their kids ready for the new school year - and as you'd expect it isn't cheap.
Speaking on Channel 5's 22 Kids and Counting, Noel and Sue Radford revealed they spent a whipping £417 on school uniforms as the holidays come to a close.
"The school bill is horrendous," said Noel. "The blazers, the ties, the shirts, the trousers, PE kids, the bags."
Sue, 47, joked: "Just don't look at your bank balance and you'll be fine."
The Lancashire-based couple - who prefer not to use hand-me-downs - have bought hundreds of school uniforms over the years.
To ensure school mornings run smoothly, organisation is key in the Radford household, reports The Sun.
Sue took to Instagram to show followers how she lays out her children's uniforms, socks, bags and water bottles the night before to make things easier in the morning.
She previously told The Sun: "If I'm doing a packed lunch for everybody, it’s two loaves of bread, three packets of sausage rolls, 24 packets of crisps, a bottle of cordial, it’s massive.”
For breakfast the family make their way through four litres of milk and two boxes of cereal a day.
And with their children varying in age and attending different schools, the school run isn't easy.
Sue admits things can get rather untidy during the school holidays
She said: “The house does get messy. It’s the school holidays, I think you’ve just got to accept that.
"I gut the house when the kids go to bed, rather than constantly doing it during the day.
"You would be constantly cleaning up after them, all day long, otherwise."
It takes around two to three hours to clean up after the brood, she explains, adding that laundry is "non stop" during the holidays.
The family have a 18kg washing machine (a standard machine is 7kg) and Sue does around three loads a day.
Before the children head to bed, the the children will all eat supper, which Sue believes helps them sleep.
This will usually be a small snack like cereal.
She told Sleepy People, that her top tip for getting kids to bed is "routine, routine, routine", which she says her children like.
The Radfords, who live in a 10-bedroom former care home, don't rely on benefits and are financially supported by their pie shop business.
