I am a married mum of a 14 year old girl who we home educate as she has additional needs. I struggle with bad days like many and have many people in my life but I am pants at reaching out. Thought I would try a new way of being in touch with others xx

Hi trampoline!

Thanks, I hope I do sleep better indeed.
We went to Morrisons and came back only with spider webs and black spiders decors.
They only had big pumpkins, and this year I want little ones. Nothing for baking or crafts. I will try again tomorrow!
I see you are in beautiful Cumbria. I passed through on the way to Scotland. We stopped on a montain pub for lunch. Stunning place and stunning views. I need to go back for long hikes!
I am in South West, so far far away!

@MushMonster, I couldn't believe that most places are out of Halloween stuff but I guess people decorate earlier now. We got our pumpkins in Lidl but they were big ones. We are originally from the West Midlands but moved up here almost 4 years ago xx

Finally found them!

MushMonster · 27/10/2021 16:38

I am not going to carve them, I will roast them on Sunday or Monday.
I have also spread spider webs and black spiders around the corridor. I will attempt to do the door Saturday or Sunday, and got some baloons and glow in the dark sticks, so that should do it!
We will have to make our own baking this year. May try little pizzas in the shape of pumpkins or ghosts, and the lime triffle with eyes and spiders inside, if she wants it. I do not think my husband will subscribe to that!
Only a few days to go!

Ah that looks ace, Dm brought polystyrene grave stones for the garden but the weather is too bad to risk putting them out so we have just put them in the windows xx

It will look ace!
It is not raining down here today. You are the second northener to mention the weather today to me, but down here we are good today.
There a few front gardens looking the part around here
