well allways dress in black and go as an oil slick

you could go as a big pair of specs

or as sesame street charactor

todays costume was sponsored by the letter C

There was a young lady called Wall
Who went to a fancy dress ball.
She thought she would risk it
And went as a biscuit.
A dog ate her up in the hall.

For the pirate:
Find a table with a wonky leg. Detach leg.
Attach an old Ovaltine tin to the top end of the table leg.
Boil up some pitch on an old metal drum.
Find a carving knife. Cut off your leg just above the knee with the carving knife.
Dip the stump of your leg in the pitch.
Fit the stump into the Ovaltine tin as a socket for your new peg leg.
For added authenticity you could also poke out one of your eyes with the knife, but you could get away with faking this by just covering it with a patch. You may go for the bonus points if you really poke your eye out though.

Ouch, that hurt!! I had hoped for the Elle Driver look, but no, definitely more manky pirate. (I have been tempted in the past, I've got one really crap eye which is virtually blind. I actually had to wear a patch when I was a child!!)

Maybe I really should have taken up the career path as a pirate for real!

Does anyone know someone with a carpet cleaner. I've got blood everywhere....

My legs still work relatively ok, so I think I'll keep them thanks.

I've spent all morning - I've gone back to the "extremely toned down mermaid" thing. I now have a fishy tail and a scary necklace with shells and sea horses on it. Defiinitely no shells on boobs this time though.

Now that really would be terrifying!!

Should've stuck to the oil slick idea. It would have been less chilly...

BTW Liking the limerick, Scurra. Meant to say earlier.

Oh and SparkOut what are you doing to me. I forgot about the whole mermaid thing and now here I am with one eye and a patch. I now look like a really freaky mermaid-pirate hybrid. Mind you, it's probably still worth it, might win first prize!

OK reporting back following this afternoon's party.
It was a 50th birthday party,(Jesus that makes me feel old, that's all I seem to be going to lately) for my neighbour's daughter, who we know reasonably well, but don't know many of her friends. She'd gone the whole hog - dressed as a full on pirate, had nets strung up with photos of when she went whale watching (amazing - she say humpbacked whales, gray whales, AND a blue whale!!!), had inflatable fish and whales hanging in the garden on the gazebos and summer house. BUT virtually none of her friends had made the effort with the fancy dress thing. It was all very civilised - lovely food etc. but I found myself conversing with a lady vicar for most of the afternoon.

Needless to say, not my usual kind of party!!

...oh yeah, and I won the prize for best outfit again!!

Well done! Do we get to see a photo?

#90 Post by **Bunnylump** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 12:25 am

Um, didn't take any. Sorry.

#91 Post by **giraffe** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 8:09 am

Well put it back on and take one then.

That's a really poor excuse.

#92 Post by **Bunnylump** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 5:59 pm

Nah. I don't do photos of me. I just end up wanting to shoot myself when I look at them. When I can't see me I can imagine I'm young, slim and beautiful.

Me too Bunnylump, I avoid camera's at all cost- except when our friendly snail is around and there is simply no getting away.

I just paid £4.99 for diet assist pills- and washed them down with strawberries & cream and a glass of wine

The instructions did say with food

It has been one of those weeks.

Errr... you do realise you'll end up with what they carefully refer to as "anal leakage", don't you?

(I haven't tried them yet, but one of my fat friends has. I'm seeing how she gets on with them before I try them. She makes a good guinea pig!!

In the meanwhile I'm "stocking up" just to make it really worthwhile!!)

I realised today things must be REALLY serious. You remember yesterday I said I'd made a necklace with shells and star fish? Well, I covered them in that really fine glitter, which gets everywhere. Despite having a shower this morning, I was in the middle of a geography lesson when the teacher said "I'm sorry class. But I just can't concentrate. Miss appears to have sparkly boobs!!!"

And I thought I had a discrete business like blouse on. No flaming hope, is there?

I heard those diet assist pills work by preventing you from eating ANY fat, because if you do you'll have dreadful problems (of the sort hinted at). I daren't try them as the doctor has put me on iron and that is bad enough.

I'm thinking of jaw wiring. Or possibly moving to a remote island which doesn't have anything except strawberries on it. It's the only sensible answer. I've tried everything else.

Taking my posh frock to York this weekend. Keep an eye on the kids for me while I'm gone!

#98 Post by **LAT** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:16 pm

Hope you have a wonderful time!

Wath the kids? Who's going to watch you?

You have two of the most well-behaved forum children I have ever had the pleasure to electronically converse with. I think you have nothing to worry about!

Have a great weekend!

Thank you. You're very kind.
