Trust me on this one! I would suggest that they google "steampunk" or "goth" and the name of their town or city and see if there's a local group. Or contact the local comics shop as they may well know steampunks who might be prepared to lend a frock.

Local theatrical groups might be able to help.

Hope that helps.:D

might also be worth an appeal on local radio, to see if that comes up with anything

Minimal flying today, on mum duty. We have collected their stuff from @rgos. I asked lady behind counter if she could bag them in the back so tots couldn't see them bless her she put it in three bags so they couldn't see through. I'll have a peep tonight when they are in bed.

We've also played happyland funfair, done some painting and played in garden.

They are nattering for tea already so I've put some pasta on, just going to chop some leftover chicken and do cucumber etc. We pulled a carrot from the garden - bit small still so leaving the rest for a couple of weeks.

Right! Food!

Thank you Short Bird and Mrs MP. The wardrobe chap thinks he can adapt the Ebay tat, but the director and producers are absolutely furious with the Seller, and rightly so. I'm about the leave Feedback.

I wish I'd thought of steam-punk!

Dinner done, just cake to ice

DS3 seems happy enough with his new school.

Going to do a HHC now to get washing i/washing up done etc.

Littlies are away to bed already. DS caught DD toe with the wheel of his bike (playing out naked as paddling pool out ) so she screamed and he got all nowty. Then they both started the sillies so I thought uh-oh too much fun in the sun, so scooped them both up and off to find pjs. They've had milk and a cuddle and story, and both very quiet by 6:45 which doesn't bode well for morning. Hmm.

I'm going to take some headache tablets and decide what's next. Oh, I have to charge and play with the kids new tablets think I will go get them out of the car now - will report back in a bit!

I've managed to get all bedrooms done, more washing done, floors all cleared and hovered. Still need to clean kitchen, put stuff in attic, get suitcases down, pack said suitcases, brush up outside, put all clean clothes away and get everyone bathed.

I've a feeling it's going to be along evening. :eek:

Ooh they look fab but in all honesty, I can't see me hiding them till Xmas. They will be perfect to take on holiday... They are pre-loaded with 7 or 8 pages of apps with games, audio books, nursery rhymes, puzzles and learning apps. The only downside is both bumpers are orange, so they are identical. I think you can buy other colours, so I may buy a blue one just so we can tell at a glance who's is who's.

The kids are gonna love them! I might surprise them on the plane

I got the fairytale palace in the end too, and it looks great. For £15, I do think she'll be over the moon, so that her birthday present. I'll get her a Barbie type doll from DS, and maybe a new outfit, and she's sorted!

Tonight I need to have a put away in the garden, paddling pool still full so needs sorting. Then I'm going to colour my greys bought a mixing bowl and colour brush set from pound shop so hopefully can get into my grey bits easier

Hair and skin seems to be ageing at a rate of knots lately

Evening :wave:

Skint Ritz has descended into Skint Pitz...AGAIN....the ESA lot sent a letter with a telephone directory to complete, just sent me into a complete tailspin.....they obviously have no idea of the havoc they reek.....had to cancel HV, a tradesman to do quote for insurance job, and an appointment with prospective primary school for DS as reverted to gibbering mess.

Think I am going to have to ask the surgery for an advocate again.

Have spent about an hour in the kitchen today in 5 minute stints.....its all I can manage.......lots of bread consumed today as there is no food flying today.

DD1 just left to go out with her mates for the first time since coming home from Uni for the summer, she has taken keys as she is expecting to come in at sun up :eek: and DD2 is out until somepoint on Saturday :eek::eek:

Need to go to Specs@vers again tomorrow - a mid week visit from ex means DS is missing one shoe and his normal glasses (unless they will let me ring up again and order over the phone )

Banging headache, hoping it's not going to be a migraine....will be back again soon

Just broke the back of the ironing I'm more than half way through. Just going to get the kids to help to pair the socks.
This hoose is like a sauna so I'm quitting for the day and I hope to sleep tonight I was far to warm last night x
