    Morning Woo, Marley and all.

    Marley if your heating is going to break down you can bet it's always on one of the coldest days of the year, I'm really glad for you sweetie that your heating started to work again nothing worst than walking about your house in half a dozen jumpers and four pairs of socks I know it's like the old days but not all of them was the 'Good old days'. Anyway next week you will not need any heating more like air conditioning you lucky thing have a great time Marley.:wink:

    Lol Kandy would you believe if I started this years Christmas shopping earlier on in the year with the January sales I thought I would have a really good start and keep adding to the gifts through out the year only problem come May I had other things to think about and totally forgot about the Christmas gifts never mind at least I have not got to start from scratch!:dh:

    Well Bob and I started to trim up the outside of the house just after dinner time yesterday and it's a good job we did as in next to no time it was rolling on to 4pm, the broomsticks that ended up like 'trees' did look really well and I intend to do the same next year, I did make one mistake and forgot to charge my camera batteries so no matter how I tried I just couldn't take any photos' those cheap batteries you buy for a couple of quid hasn't the juice to fire up a digi cam!:(

    I'm sad to write it was a very poor year for the monsters as hardly anyone got into the spooky spirit of things on our small estate very few people opened their doors but on the bright side Bob and I got plenty of complements about our wonderful display not to mention the delights from all about the amount of different loot there was to be had from us.

    We had a visit from a very giggly dad who dressed up along with his children and he made a stunning Phantom of The Opera and for his troubles he got a lollipop and boy did he love that!
    Bob even had one little toddler come into our house who wanted to stay with him the little chap's mother was really grateful for our display and gifts I think we made their night hopefully all with come back next year and maybe tell their friends to come along too.

    Well all the decorations have been taken down until next year and I can't wait until then bigger and better with loads of giggles!Hel.xxx.

    Good Morning Woo and everyone 'Happy November 1st' Pinch Punch and all that goes with it.:)

    Had a good night with the trick or treaters and got some good photos of some of them:thmb:My neighbours four year old banged on the letterbox{to short to ring the bell} and when I opened the door she shouted at the top of her voice 'Trick or Treat' so I replied I will have the treat thanks and promptly stuck my hand in her bag for the treat.Hers and her friends faces were a picture and she quickly clamped the bag shut with my hand inside:lollol:I have never seeen children so possessive of a few sweets:D Anyway,I got my hand back in the end and after saying a few words to her dad who was standing without a coat on shivering on the pavement opposite,they went on their merry way and I went in to tell Mr Kandy who was chuckling away:lollol:

    Roders,love your Smiley face:thmb: Marley with your pumpkins and cat ,and Helen with your bat:)

    Well,I hope you all have a great weekend because I know I will:thumb:

    Good morning everybody,

    I'm pleased you enjoyed your Halloween. :)

    Nice photos Kandy :thumb:

    I just had the very enjoyable (not) job of helping the man clean out our cesspool. :( The modern plastic clothes pegs don't fit on your nose like the old wooden ones used to :D :D :D. We have the job done early in the morning so the smell goes before people get out into their gardens - or open their windows.

    I'm going to have another shower now :thmb: :D

    Have a great day :D

    Good Morning all. Those pics so cute, Kandy. Hope everyone had a nice Halloween. Weather here was nice for it. The neighborhood kids did their rounds. Seemed a little less this year than last. Perhaps some were in the city celebrating the Phili win, the parade and all. TV showed such crowds.
    Well in a few days our election as you all know. Wondering if the lines will be long for this one, I expect so. Have a feeling more people will vote this time than ever before, just because of the selection given us. Don't ask me that question.

    Morning Woo, Shiney and all.

    Dear Woo we have been 'blessed' with none stop rain too but I'm afraid I'm not as brave as you and your two girls I think I'll stay in until it clears up some what if not it's welly time me thinks!:D

    Kandy lovely photos of your visiting little monsters (note to self; remember to charge them blooming batteries for next halloween!) most of our visitors wore some outstanding outfits too but very few of ours wore coats the poor little dears must have got frozen but boy did their little smiles warm your heart!:)

    Shiney did you really give yourself a good wash in that shower? because I'm sure I can smell something bog like :cnfs: Oh sorry it's not you just one of my aged Yorkies when you get as old as them you tend to get a little wind! :lollol::D

    Redstar I'm sure you are correct I truely think more people will vote with your coming election. I think your country is heading for a change, a new era and I for one know who I would want in the White House.

    Well today Bob and I have the task of looking for a chair for our gaming mad son Harry but he doesn't want a computer chair but an office waiting room kind of chair with some padding goodness knows where I'll find one of them maybe Ikea? Wish me luck in my quest.

    Marley remember them batteries for your hols.:wink: Hel.xxx.
