Re: FMB Fanclub

hehe thankfully I haven't had to invent many fancy dress costumes for my boy's.
although every year at Halloween we seem to through the same argument...... but why can't you buy me that full costume..... it's only £30 ?? Geez ok I'll show my age a little here but I remember half the fun at Halloween was making the costumes in the first place! Usually out of old sheets or black bags.... anything we could find lying around that wasn't nailed down or would cause mum to freak out! LOl my brother once cut eye holes in a sheet to make a ghost.... only to discover when mum went nut's that they were mums best bed sheets .....opps LOL.
These days the kids want oozing blood and goo mask's and full costumes the works.... cost's a blummin fortune that way.......

Re: FMB Fanclub

I'm so glad my kids are grown up now and i don't have to do this any more lol. i was always crap at it!! Although I did manage to turn Lewis into one of the Three Kings and Jess into an Angel - thank god I got the easy ones lol. One of the mums had to turn her daughter into an orange balloon. I personally would rather do a months ironing than invent a costume lol ( and i really really hate ironing).
At our stables they even do a fancy dress for the ponies - you wouldn't believe how inventive some of them are. The owners that is, not the ponies:roll:

The hungry Caterpillar (vandalised my cushions for that one)

Thats the winner.. I had just come online to post that.

Hes got a green jog top with a hood, and we are going to stuff some old socks with paper, then sew them onto the top to make the legs. And then make some antennaes out of pipecleaners and stick some colour spots on.
Paint his face with facepaint and he should be ok.
Ile try to get some pics
So I probably wont be online tonight now, best make sure ive got some alcohol in..lol

Re: FMB Fanclub

Ooooh I used to love getting my kids ready for book day:

The hungry Caterpillar (vandalised my cushions for that one)

Jim Lad (Treasure Island and I really did read it to him because he couldn't make head nor tale of it) is a nice easy one

Also sent him as a lamb once, can't remember what the book was but we covered his clothes in wadding and the poor lad got redder and redder as he got hotter and hotter - not recommended msl:

Re: FMB Fanclub

Well, its back to work today after my fun filled day yesterday at home.
Made bread with my son, well I say with in a loose term because as soon as he got his hands messy he didnt want to do anymore. All he wanted to do, was stir. Anyway he was happy with making the shapes at the end.

Also noticed that my daughter has chipped her two front teeth (nothing to do with me or the bread, by the way). Luckily the reason I was off is because everyone went to the dentist yesterday afternoon except me.

Anyway the bread was lovely and was nearly all eaten before it got chance to cool down.

Right I need ideas now, so get your thinking caps on.
My son has to dress up for nursery as his favourite BOOK charcter as they are doing a book day. As my son has loads of books, his favourite is the last one he read and will change on a nightly basis, so me and Kelly and struggling to think of what he can dress up as.
We would like to be original, as there are bound to be plenty of Bob the Builders etc. Also ideally something thats not too hard to make.
Sugestions we have come up with so far are: Emergency services, BtB, Thomas Train, Mr Men.
Any help will be appreciated


Oh here is Wakefield Photos Link Lugger http://s182.photobucket.com/albums/x289/PKea/

Re: FMB Fanclub

My Mum always does that "can't be doing with old people, don't they moan" lark but then I suppose mine is a relative youngster at only 77.

As far as flu jabs go, they only give them to pensioners near us so I'm not quite there yet - won't be long tho' (just thought I'd get that in before Paradox does)

Re: FMB Fanclub

Morning all, well its bright and sunny here today, although a tad foggy early this morning.
Went to visit mum yesterday and have had a small victory, she says she'll be ok for a day or two, so no running up and down the A127 today or tomorrow (hopefully) for me. Took me over an hour to get home yesterday from her place, friggin hell where does all the traffic come from ? Another small victory she has at last agreed to think about selling the garages and is getting them valued and then will make a decision (don't know why she wants to carry on working for at her age anyway). I lost the arguement about her selling up and moving into warden assisted accommodation near us, her answer is 'I can't stand old people' ffs she's 84 bloody hell does she think she's still a friggin teenager or what. Never mind next time she comes to stay I shall take her to have a look round one of the places, she might like them once she's seen them with any luck.
Anyway not much more to report except i'm feeling chilly today (had our flu jabs on tuesday perhaps thats caused me to feel chilly, does that happen to anyone else?)

Re: FMB Fanclub

Morning all,

There are piccies from Wakefield do but don't ask me where they are lol, but they are definately here somewhere lol.
The weather is not looking too bad today fairly bright but chilly, can cope with that lol

Re: FMB Fanclub

If a Subway cheers you up, you need a new life.

However, the bottle of wine sounds a splendid idea. I've opened another, purely for medicinal purposes. :alchie:

By the way... did I miss any piccies from the night out???

Re: FMB Fanclub

Apparently he got away with 400 quid, which is 2 floats. Didn't get the safe money. Turned up at 9.20 which is just when cashing up. I've often said its the witching hour then!

Had no internet at home since July, thanks to BT and Sky. Have given up and gone back to Tiscali (who BT thought we were stil with anyway) but had to wait to get my suspended account (thanks BT) cancelled with Tiscali who thought I was still with them and owed them money etc etc. I could go on but I won't bore you to death......

Luggers I would make sure Mrs L doesn't show up at the next dentists appointment or you might find yourself incapacitated!

Off to work soon, think I'll have a Subway tonight to cheer me up. And there's a bottle of wine in the fridge which will be shouting at me when I get home.....

Re: FMB Fanclub
