    DS has a load of bandages for his eczema - the perfect mummy - free from the NHS :eek:
    All I did was put a white t-shirt on him and draw some blood on with a red pen, the perfect mummy!
    OH dressed as the grim reaper with a grey duvet cover opened in one corner for his head, and a scythe (?) from poundland. I wore gothy clothes which I already had so I spent nothing:)

  • I've just kitted the family out for a Halloween party at Somerfield's. Full child's spider queen outfit - dress, sash and hat for £3.99 and adult spider queen outfit £5.99 also adult dracula outfit - cloak, neck sash and waist coat £5.99.

    I'm useless at making things and am also so busy each day, this was a nice cheap and quick solution to providing us all with full-on costumes.

    My favourite costume when I was a kid was,

    One of Mums old dresses, put on and done up above my head, (So it looked like a headless person) then My biggest doll was positioned so her head was sticking through the seam under the arm, fake blood was applied to the neck of the doll, and around the neck of the dress, I held dolls head ander the arm, Voila, Guillotine victim!

    Mooo ha haaaa haa spooooooky
