That reminds me, we still have our pumpkin to do. Mind you there is only going to be me in tomorrow evening as my three are all going out together for Halloween and we NEVER get any children round here (my three were the only children on the street until just recently and they really aren't 'kids' anymore!) lols

You must have strong hands to carve a butternut squash. I can just about peel one. I admit I have no upper body strength - it's shameful!

It was very VERY difficult.... My hands are aching!!

I was looking for Disney pictures and found this: jls4.com/portfolio/images/disney_stencils_05.jpg

I am terrible at links,lol. You could carve a Mickey pumpkin! I have never carved a pumpkin. I have no confidence and I'm sure it would just end up as a pulpy mess.

I would have done that, but my pumpkins were only as big as apples!! They've all got faces.... And my Butternut Squash is a pirate!

Why don't you do one tomorrow?? It's really easy! If I can do it any bugger can!

Right. I've found an online idiot's guide to carving a pumpkin and I'm off to Tesco's tomorrow to get me a pumpkin.

I will not be posting a photo.

Great job guys

 

[poppyolivia]

Sounds like you had a good night - when I read it earlier on I thought you had been to see singers TJ Hicks sounds like they sing - I think I was thinking Stevie Nicks

Glad you had a good night

Trust me you weren't alone thinking something along those lines, I had never heard of her before lol.

Sounds good then! Was Tony Stockwell not there this time?

Bob xoxox

No he wasn't but Colin was talking about him and that other guy is it Derek Acorra?(sp) he had nothing but praise for them! They must be good too

Have you or your mum seen any of them live or is it from books/tv?

 

[poppyolivia]
