Having a fresh hair style is important to both of men and women.Before making a hair style in salon maybe you can first buy a hair wig to wear and have a look if the hairstyle is fit for you or not.There are various types of hair wigs such as black male wigs which can be got from http://www.hairwigsall.com/categories/Men%27s-Wigs/ and other hair colors of hair wigs for people to choose.You can choose it according to your preference.
We celebrated WBD at our school and all the teachers dressed up too and acted out a chosen book in assembly. The children were very excited and learnt a great deal from the experience. We chose a story with lots of different characters so parents wouldn't find it difficult to find something suitable at the back of the wardrobe. Our WBD took lots of planning and hard work (and we were exhausted) so it's sad to read this thread and hear parents find it too much trouble when schools are working hard to promote literacy and a love of books. They are your kids after all.

I think a lot of parents on the thread do like the concept of World Book and Day and do their best to get behind it. It's just not all of us are that nimble with a thread and able to knock out a decent costume...and that makes us feel bad beside parents who manage to get their kids to school in super garb.


I don't think this thread is really anti-WBD - it's just letting off a bit of steam!

What your school did sounds wonderful, but I think you'll find that a lot of schools are not working hard to promote literacy and a love of books. A lot of schools are doing nothing at all except for telling the kids to dress up.


Your post is a bit insulting frankly, and I deleted my first response.

heh heh, I deleted my first response too.


Suggesting that if you don't buy into dressing up for World Book Day you mustn't care about literacy or instill a love of books in your children is a bit rich. And that's my 'mild' response. Your post would have been fine (in fact your school sounds like they did a great job with WBD) but your last sentence was pretty rude, to say the least.

Well good. My post was rather tongue in cheek but for teachers who work 7/11 for your children (and yes I arrive at work at 7 and still going at 10p.m sometimes only with a 10 minute break - in fact I've just finished my planning tonight, yes Saturday night at 11) it's demoralising that parents begrudge the time to cut out what could be perhaps just a paper mask for a once a year event and yet find the time to complain about it. So please have a heart and lay off the complaints about WBD.

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
