Well, I will make this quick because, goodness me, it's midnight already. Which means it's really 1am because the clocks went back last night! And I was so exhausted earlier I thought I wouldn't make it past dinner, but yet here I am, late on the PC again.
Earlier I went into town to go to the 99p shop to pick up some Halloween goodies - I got a sign and a gorgeous spider's web to put in the window and on the door so that the kids knew where to knock. And I got a bunch of gruesome sweets like jelly eyeballs and stuff, just because. The kids started knocking around 5pm and kept on coming! As the hall light is broken I kept answering the door with a torch lighting up my face and saying "mwahahaha". Um, I think there were some kids that were rather nonplussed by it all. We live in a very mixed neighbourhood and we had Filipinos, Indian, Sri Lankan, Black and Polish kids come by, it was great fun. Some of the kids from the Arts & Crafts class came and said from behind their masks "I know you!!", and I impressed them by knowing their names before they showed their faces. That might have something to do with them being the loudest in the group so it was pretty hard NOT to know who they were. I'm just sayin'....
My friends B and S arrived for a pot luck supper around 6pm with baby A in a gorgeous pumpkin outfit. What a poppet. I don't want to appear all stalkerish or anything, but I do enjoy baby cuddles with him. Although I have to admit it's nice to hand him back afterwards lol.
Anyway, they brought with them the Rocky Horror Picture Show DVD and were stunned that neither Claire nor I had ever seen it. It was... interesting shall we say. I can see why it has a cult following, but if I'd been on my own I probably wouldn't have watched it all the way through. Having said that, it was fun because B and S know all the heckling bits and told us all the props that people take to showings.
Anyway, I'm now pooped but I'll just leave you with this excellent ad for the Early Learning Centre that has me giggling every time I see it. Nite nite!
