World Book Day - my cheap and easy costume idea

Today is World Book Day and my son's school, like many others across the UK, have asked the children to go to school dressed as a character from a book.

I personally wanted my son to go dressed as a character from a book he was familiar with and that was appropriate for his age. He's five.

He actually came up with the idea that he wanted to go as a skeleton and Funnybones is a popular book in our house so it was the perfect solution.

So... In a dark, dark house. On a dark, dark Thursday... we reused his skeleton costume from Halloween and made a mask from white card and that was that! Job's a good'un!

Cheap as chips and he was more than happy with the results!


February was a wash out for this blog as everyone in the family took it in turns to have colds and bugs, but hopefully now I can get back on track!

Lego, Barbie and Monster High Dolls Reduced at Sainsburys, Leigh

I also popped in to Sainsburys, Leigh, for a few groceries and still on my quest for the perfect (and great bargain!) birthday present I had a look at the toys.
They had more Lego reduced to clear and included some popular sets. Even had my eye on a couple to buy as the gift I was looking for. One being the Scooby Doo Mystery Plane Adventure, 75901. £14.99 reduced from £19.99. Next best price I could find was £15.99 at Argos, but still full price in most shops. If my son hadn't already got it I probably would have picked one up for him and put it away for a present. 
They had also reduced Star Wars Series 2 Microfighter 75073 Vulture Droid to £6.74. They must be making way for series 3 arriving in shops soon!
They also had some Lego City reduced to clear...
Lego Friends were also on offer...
They had 2 pack Monsters High dolls for just £5.75! I have seen the same ones for the same discounted price at Sainsburys, Bolton too.
Barbie was also being sold off too, with this Rockin Royals doll for £11.50.
And, not forgetting...albeit a little randomly... some really cheap children's penguin costumes if anyone needs one! Now just £2!
(Please note these were spotted in Sainsburys, Leigh and may not be available at other stores.)
