Any ideas of a good homemade costume using stuff I could pick up in the likes of Dunnes and other shops round the city?

O'Beirns pharmacy across from the Bierhaus sell facepaints, fake blood, liquid latex etc which might help with inspiration!

White Doctors Coat and a saw, then say you've come as one of the Saw Doctors!

Bin bag + Witches hat. Tell everyone you're going as an 8 year old.

If you know somebody in a hospital they might get you surgery scrubs.
Make up a dummy Doctor badge. Maybe even borrow a stethoscope.

I stuck a chamber pot on my head and had a 'sceptre' mace with toilet paper on the head and proclaimed myself the 'monarch of po-land'.
This is a true story.
I was 10.

:rolleyes:

Get a roll of red ribbon and some cardboard the size of an A4 sheet. Wrap the ribbon around yourself once or twice and then make a big bow, attach the cardboard to the bow and write "To: Women. From: God." on it. There ya go, God's gift to women all for under a tenner. :P
