Thirty Something Hobbies

Oh No - less than 2 weeks to halloween and although my pumpkins are starting to turn they've a long way to go and are going to be very small Jack O'Lanterns!! do I give in and buy the Tescos ones for the ridiculously cheap £1 or just settle for small ones? (bloody Tesco's it's there everywhere with prices to undercut anything in their bid to take over the world! - 'scuse me for my rant there rather anti tesco's!) anyway, on another note I've spent the last 2 nights knitting very small stockings, hats and Xmas trees in my preperations for Xmas, which every year I have grand plans and then work goes demented and I have no energy for anything when I get home! but this year there is a chance of a much larger family Xmas at our house than before so I do think that if it happens I need to pull out the stops and have a fabulous table and decorations (I don't know if I mentioned before my complete inability to cook so Paul will be creating the cullinary turkey masterpiece and therefore I need to 'keep my end up'). We have had a cat santa suit in at work which I'm tempted for Tiggy - at least to take a photo - but I think she might just leave home if I do inflict it on her?! Bob (the bunny) would no doubt happily pose in reindeer antlers if a carrot was the reward.
