Hmm, my daughter always chooses the 'pirate' option in a pirates & princesses party. Her outfit consists of the following:


plain stripy t-shirt

big homemade skull and crossbones badge (cardboard, safety pin, sellotape)

homemade eye patch (cardboard, elastic)

bandana, tied round hair

jeans, rolled up

dastardly scar, using face paint


Cost = zero

I agree. All the above and I have also noticed lots of kids sporting 'mum's belt slung diagonally across shoulder and waist' when it is pirate day at school. Would not bother buying an outfit - although they are nice. Cut off scruffy jeans or trousers too.

ok, somewhat off topic but why on earth do we glorify pirates - effectively thieves who ransom and kill people? this pirate thing drives me nuts. and "princesses and pirates" parties - outrageous! i don't know what i will do when my son (3) starts being invited to them.

Get a fooking life ffs. It was Pirates day at DKH school nursery today. The kids had a great time singing songs and dressing up. As for gender stereotyping, I have never seen so many little girls with drawn on moustaches and beards.


I am totally gobsmacked. These are nursery age children having fun. That's all.


No wonder I want to leave East Dulwich!

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
