    It may be almost a year to the day since I handed in my teaching resignation but I still need to get involved in the annual World Book Day dress up! (It turns out libraries like books too - who'd have thought it?) Normally at this time I'd be posting asking for advice (if the last 3 years is anything to go by ;) ) but this year I am actually all sorted early thanks to finding an old top in the wardrobe from a few years ago and the liberal use of duct tape to complete the look!!

    I normally enjoy a good laugh reading all your ideas and it would be a shame to miss that this time so instead I'm asking you to guess - what do you think my outfit might be?!

    Haha, that's a very random suggestion. Surprisingly, it's not that no.

    Given the duct tape - 'Fred & Rose' ?

    Your 'sent from...' is very appropriate here. And no.

    Nope, haven't a clue :)

    I think the duct tape may be throwing people off here. Not that that was my intention or anything... ;)

    Trying to reread it at the minute. I'm a very linear person...

    You're far too young to comment but I imagine you as a dominant "Hattie Jacques" type of headmistress. I've no idea what Hattie used the duct tape for though...

    Could do a lot worse than Dakoka Johnson :) She was great in Ben and Kate long before she become known worldwide. Now that's a sitcom that got axed too early, as happens with so many American shows.

    No doubt a paper will have their annual story of some kid in a suit being sent home from a school for going as Christian Grey.

    It's the duct tape that makes it difficult. Is cardboard involved? I remember as a child dressing up as a robot at a school party, using various sized cardboard boxes held together with tape, duct or otherwise. It took all day to get ready, but the bloody outfit fell apart after 5 minutes at the party.

    Cardboard duct tape sounds like SpongeBob SquarePants

    Regretably, no.

    There's not much cardboard involved. It was just used to make accessories, not the outfit itself.
