As it falls near our anniversary we are often out anyway and I don't record it. As for carol singers, they get money if they know the next verse and know who they are collecting for, and it's not themselves!

I love watching Strictly Come Dancing, but though Hallowe'en is a big night for that programme it's the one episode I don't really enjoy.Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333361046630429843.post-71268161556186520472016-10-27T21:41:53.426+01:002016-10-27T21:41:53.426+01:00Exactly - horrible scratchy thingsExactly - horrible scratchy thingsNearly Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594432566473391552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333361046630429843.post-56344257882583343712016-10-27T21:40:53.371+01:002016-10-27T21:40:53.371+01:00I thank you :-)I thank you :-)Nearly Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594432566473391552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333361046630429843.post-39492126072427693742016-10-27T12:54:27.926+01:002016-10-27T12:54:27.926+01:00I have one more beef about Halloween to add to you...I have one more beef about Halloween to add to your list. <br />The costumes used to be home made, An old sheet, a cardboard witch's hat etc. Now everything is plastic and throw away, with probably new plastic outfits again next year.
