DIY Fancy Dress ideas!! .. and a PS on woodworm

Hello all



Got a family party that is fancy dress on New Year's Eve.



Being a miserable tight git I don't want to spend a fortune hiring and wondered whether anyone had any ideas for simple diy fancy dress.



We are both (me and the missus) mid fifties and a bit less than slim. Don't mind outrageous but don't want anything that will frighten the grandchildren tooo much.



TIA for any replies.



PS. Anyone heard of any advances in under ground floor woodworm treatment that do not involve pulling up floorboards all over the house?

Bob the Builder?

Check shirt, dungarees, tool belt & a hard hat. SWMBO could go as Wendy, green sweatshirt, toolbelt, blue jeans.

Many thanks.

I could dig my tool belt out of the garage etc. but haven't got a hard hat. SWMBO is called Wendy already!

Tart & vicar looks favourite at the moment. Me as the vicar!

see if anyone on the BNP membership list is near you and could lend you an SS uniform. Then go as a member of the royal family.

Make "blinkers" out of cardboard and an old pair of specs, and go as Haringey Council social workers.

Any tube lines in the general vicinity?

Ultrasonic woodworm repeller?

There's a fine line between Bob The Builder and David Hodo from The Village People ...

(Oooh! Little bit of politics there)

Go with a woman strapped to your back. Claim to be a turtle. If they ask about the woman, say "Thats Michelle".

Paint your face back (kids face paint) and fill your mouth with custard. Blackhead.

As if I'd have enough straps around the place to hold a woman in place;-)

Half the grandchildren would think it was hilarious. I don't fancy having to explain to the other half!

Go dressed as an emotional state.

Black up, stick your dick in a bowl of custard and say you are "fncking dis custard"

Put a bin bag over your head, jump up and down a lot then spray shaving foam everywhere saying "bugger, my condoms split!"

Get your good lady a couple of those whirly Danish pastries and she can go as Princess Leah from Star Wars. Get three more and you can go as Makka Pakka.
