Halloween was lots of fun for us this year as we’ve recently moved into a lovely cul de sac where each year one house takes turns to host the party – thankfully it wasn’t our turn although i’d be more than happy to do it next year when we’re not in as much chaos. The children we went to see our lovely friends in Newcastle and had a Halloween party followed by brunch on the beach which was great.

Top tip for Halloween outfits is good old TK Max and my lack of pre-planning acutally paid off this year as I bought them on the 30th October for half price..
