Hoping to pick the collective creative minds of the forum...


We've been invited to a friend's daughter's 2nd birthday party, got told it's fancy dress - thought bless will be fun excuse to dress up Bugglet, but we've now found out that hubbie & I are also exextend to dress up :-S


So... Any ideas? Bugglet is 18mths & fairly small so unlikely to fit supermarket fancy dress & am clueless about me & hubbie - trying to think along nursery rhyme/fairy tale themes but no ideas yet!

- Dracula,

- Pippi Longstocking

- Pyjama Party (in your night gown)

- go with a nice wig from wandsworth road

- Alien (green face painting)

- "Dotty" (like the exhibition from the japanese artist at tate modern with all the dots)

- harry potter

...

endless possibilities. Shall I go instead? (only joking)

enjoy

As Pam50 says, you and your husband could go in stripey tops with eye patches, headscarfs, etc as pirates....but maybe the buglet could go as a parrot!! Dress her in green and get her a little feathery headers or fascinator type thing!

Or you could get one of these and sew it onto a headband for her, dress her in green etc, or am I getting carried away?!


(not sure that my fancy dress ideas might not be a bit skewed after the 'mum dressing me as a poacher' trauma which you may remember from a thread a while ago, hahaha!)

Oooo - knew you guys'd come up trumps!! Thought & ruled out "mad men" style (annoying as have perfect dress) as thought might be bit too grown up! Liking pirate ideas esp dressing bugglet up as a parrot - though if I got the toy parrot & dressed her in brown she could go as the perch maybe!


Will let you know how it goes :-)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
