I need a suit of armour!

[lou33]

Ds1 has a birthday in a couple of weeks, or failing that I need it for Christmas. He is DESPERATE for a suit of armour, and I haven't seen any around. Any ideas?

jan you are like us! four os us in the family and we all have our birthdays within a six week period! falls just before christmas, it is a nightmare for our relatives My mum says if I have any more kids I have to plan it a bit better!

hope you find something soon lou

oooh, fio, 4 just before Christmas is bad news!

Ours are in April - DD1 on 1st, DD2 on 5th and DS2 on 15th. Easter always got in the way with at least one of them but there was one marvellous year, when DD1 was 9 and DD2 was 6 (we didn't have DS2 then), that they had a joint party and I hired a number 9/6 cake tin and was able to make both their cakes with it!!! (How sad am I!)

Good luck with the armour, lou. It's not the sort of thing you can improvise really, is it?

Does that mean I should chuck the tin foil and cardboard attempt I made then ?

I have ds1 at the end of this month, Christmas, followed by dd2 4 days later, then my birthday 5 days after that, then a nephew's birthday 6 days after THAT! Then a few weeks grace before the birthdays all start again. Actually, come to think of it I don't think I have one month without any celebrations in it.
