Feel sorry for Jamie Oliver's kids
Now they are stupid names
My friend daughter years ago wanted to call her expected baby summer if it was a girl
Luckily it was a boy Kieran

Is it me or am I getting old all this madness over Halloween
Just seen photo of Lilly and k made me shudder poor kids brains
And a friend's house photo lite up with spiders and all sorts and her poor son is 4and scared of the dark
Madness

It can get a bit much Saundra, especially for sensitive youngsters xx

I've just had a swim in the pool!

It's still so warm here I thought I'd give it a go - once I (and my heart! ) got over the first brrr it was fine.

Itseems a very odd day to me like a Sunday nobody about .
But its turned into a bright lovely day

It must be that time of the year again
I'm getting loads of charity letters begging for cash
They get chucked in my blue bin
I object to them because of there fat salary the bosses get
Hardly any goes to the cause
I readily give to collections in morrisons or in the street poppy appeal but it can get to much rant over

I totally agree Saundra, not only the charity letters but also all those ads on TV... it does get a bit much at some point

Same as you, I give what I can to charities that I know use every penny where it's meant to be and not to line the pockets of the management

In morrisons if I go on a Saturday there can be a collection where the trolleys are then one inside nearly always a group packing bags either kids football team or brownie group
Then if you are very luck a band or Carol group

It can be bedlam
Ho and the box thing to put pet food or charity food

The Salvation Army band are usually in Tesco's foyer around Christmas, it's lovely

The pub next door has great Halloween decorations and they ask that, if you wish, you can add a euro onto your bill in aid of one of Dublin's main children's hospitals.
