Now that we have Jo's costume sorted can someone tell me what to wear for independence day? I have to dress up for work ( i work in a restaurant) on saturday:rolleyes: They have decided we are dressing up every second saturday! Yes, because we're made of freaking money, argh:mad:

Stars and stripes you narna...

do you know a chef who may have chef 'whites' with stripy trousers?
I'm fairly certain if you slither round the poundshops you can pick up a hat or 12... ooh... a HUUUUUUGE american flag worn.. as a toga!!!!!!! Erm... or you could drag out and dust off a sewing machine and make something stylish and fitted...

Triker.. yeah.. I'm good.. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D .. Been busy flinging.. and trying to motivate myself to decorating. We don't have a coming home date for DS1 yet.. but should have by the end of the week.. the person supposedly organising it is off this week.. Ggggrrr They have been moved into a proper self contained unit though and Jacob has given up sleeping.. which could be a growth spurt or the new room.. I said to turn his cot round if he doesn't start sleeping in a few more days.. ratbag! lol I unearthed a table in the back room!!!!

Jo saw this on buy it now but loads on auction, different sizes available, plus stripey socks yellow and black can be found at poundland.:D

I know Triker, I saw them too and they are lovely, but I dont really want to spend the £15 on it! That said I suppose I could always sell it afterwards!!

Little ones school holiday club is gonna cost me over £600!!! And Ive stared working part time.....so its a skint few months for me as it is. Im trying to spend as little as poss on the outfits.....but could always Ebay it afterward!

Thanks xx

INDEPENDENCE DAY - you could go as a Cheerleader! You could make pom poms out of wool - or something similar and as long as the colours are white blue and red, you could make this outfit from stuff you have at home i.e. Little white tee shirt, red skirt, or blue skirt - and you could always write/draw something on the t-shirt if you didnt want to wear it again!

Put your hair up in bunches and draw freckles on your cheeks....

Does your hubby wear a suit, mebbe wear that with high heels and a ridiculous amount of lip gloss, some sunglasses and go as one of the women from CSI.:D

Mudbath

GandB - could you just wear red, white and blue and face paint an american flag on your face? Cheap and cheerful and the face paints will come in handy every other week when you have to dress up again!!

Right....15 minute study! xx

I am not sure that I will get to this weeks challenge, though I wanted to drop in and say:


HELLO and I Love the thread and the lists and the....... well everything!

Its all, just what the Dr ordered. My house is chaos and I used to be an OCD tyrant and now I am a bit of messy wotsit, mainly cos Mr GG is a bit messy and I have fallen into his lazy ways.

NO MORE.

Well, til next week at most!!

*Probably a bit of a pointless post, but wanted to say hi!*
