OK I'll bite! Yet another faux festival for foolish young consumers.

Happy October everyone

Let the festivities begin

 I wish I wasn't so old and cynical

We say at work that you don't get more cynical as you get older, you simply get  better at it

 

Happy October Hooch

Oh, I am soooo going to use that at work on Monday

Reeeeeeexicleeeeeeeee

 

Hope you're enjoying October so far

 

 

 

woooooooooo I love October

Happy October everyone  *resists temptation to mention Christmas,,,,, runs*

I'm at the sea - side with the youngest. If October continues in this warm and sunny fashion I'll be well pleased!

Its October and its mental hot....down ere anyway innit!

I hate October, too many birthdays and then it's bliddy Halloween.

 

Love December though, lots of birthdays and then it's xmas   The birthdays are mine and my eldest sons   

Its nearly halloween

 

Costume planned...tick

Halloween party bags for kids knocking....tick

sweets for kids  (i kid you not) .... tick

novelties for kids to put in bags....tick

 

My second favourite celebration of the year

 

What's your first favourite gypsie? Woooooooooo Baz! Don't you dare ... Apologise or feel bad for mentioning Christmas!!!!!

i'll give you a clue

Lincolnshire day today - the time for all those yellow bellies to expose themselves!

 

wedding anniversary, oh birthday and a 50th this month

 

Gyps - i bought some warning sashes for the door and some "shaped" treats for hallowe'en last week !

On a more positive note it's only 93 days till January.

yayyy... i love the kids knocking at the door, we usually get some really cute little baby pumpkins and stuff. The party bags i got are dead good. they are big pumpkin faces, i got about 50 for 90p off ebay !

The first year we moved in we were unprepared - but last year we had pumpkins, treats and a skeleton,  lots of little children called (with parents)  a near neighbour turns her garage into a grotto with fairy lights lighting the way

Same machel, we moved on Halloween itself and I felt rotten for turning away kids at both the old house and the new but we were busy moving boxes and furniture..! Gypsie, I like your style

Hallowe'en is the aniversary of Mr Sezit moving in with me.12 years this year  

I'm going to be the mother of a teenager at the end of this month...it just doesn't seem right!

It's October and it's 30C outside.  Different...

Flies by doesn't it.

 

Especially when you've had no summer  

Fireworks commenced on Friday night.

Well it's nearly gone

 

Hope everyone had a pleasant October

Cheers Muffles - hope you did too

Hiya Rexicle

 

Glad we didn't get any of this

 

I managed the transition to being a mother of a teenager just fine on the 27th.....oh and happy birthday to himself, my son 

... and it's 5.30 p.m. and it's pitch black outside -  I love it! 

 

Many happies to your boy, Suzy!

Fanks Kaff ....it's been a week of celebration for him. The only people that let him down were Chelsea FC who we had the pleasure of watching get trounced 5-3 at Stamford Bridge yesterday!

I love Autumn and darkness 

Aw no... did they not KNOW it was his birthday?!      Hope he had a great day (ok - week!) anyway.    Autumn's my favourite season - I love getting cosied up with the curtains drawn of an evening.

It's gone so quick! Thank you muf, I have had a great month! I hope you have too

oh gawd, me too

Are we having a happy November thread?

Us Northerners would have got it worse though
