Yorkshire & Surrounding Area Hashtag Hours on Twitter

If you are a twitterer tweeter or whatever they call people who chat a lot on twitter like me, and run your own business, you may want to join other people in your area for networking.

On certain days and times of the week you can add a hashtag like this # followed by your town or area and this lets other people in that area find you easily.

Then all you should do is retweet people's tweets that you want to network with using the hashtag and they should retweet your tweet. With a bit of luck, they will then follow you on twitter and you should follow them.

So in my area for example, I have listed below the timetable for hashtags to look out for and retweet:

Monday       between 8 & 9pm #Harrogatehour

Tuesday       between 8 & 9pm #Wetherbyhour

Wednesday between 8 & 9pm #Yorkshirehour

Thursday     between 8 & 9pm #Leedshour, #Huddersfieldhour, #Wakefieldhour,

                                                       #Sheffieldhour, #Yorkhour, #Bradfordhour

World Book Day 2013

World Book Day falls on March 7th 2013 and is a special time where school children are encouraged to dress up as a book character of their choice.

This is a fantastic way of teaching kids about popular story books and their characters.
Schools usually hand out vouchers to pupils for £1 value and this can be used to buy a special book which is just made for this event.



Our most popular dressing up costumes for World Book Day include,
Fireman Sam, Matilda, Cinderella, Horrid Henry, Oliver Twist, Harry Potter, Sleeping Beauty and many more.

How to buy Fancy Dress with Confidence in 2012

Buying a fancy dress costume should be a happy, fun and safe experience for customers as it is almost always bought for a happy occasion.
We like to dress up as a Superhero, Celebrity, Cowboy/girl, Clown, Book Character, Historical person,  Someone from a past decade...the list is endless.

So what makes Fancy Dress Bash and Fancy Dress Code different from other suppliers?

Well it is run by me, Ruth, and I treat my customers as I would like to be treated when buying a costume/wig/prop.

When you spend your hard earned cash with me, I can guarantee that you will not be sorry and will come back to purchase again and again, even recommending your friends to do so too.

First of all, wherever possible, your order will be despatched on the same day as purchase so you will have a quick delivery, often next day.

If something you have ordered is unexpectedly out of stock you will either receive an email or telephone call from me, offering an alternative or an 'Immediate' full refund.  You will not have to wait to get your money back.

Customers can chat to me on Twitter asking for advice or stock availability before they buy.

As my followers already know, I am available on Twitter every day, even weekends and bank holidays and I don't mind talking business and helping you any hour of any day.

I don't think other companys offer that service but I don't see you as a customer, I see you as a friend.

I have a very good relationship with 6 different suppliers and am a member of the British Costume Association.  This means that you can trust me and if the item you are looking for is not listed on my websites, I can usually get it for you.

I also have a sewing department who can make bespoke costumes and mascots of your own designs.

I have 3 children, so I know all about kiddies fancy dress requirements and KS1 & KS2 school needs and book days.

Both my websites are 100% secure for safe encrypted card payments and I also have a secure terminal for telephone payments.

So next time you or someone you know is looking for a fancy dress item, don't be shy to contact me via twitter, email or telephone and I will be delighted to help you find the perfect item.

Happy New Year!
