Woohoo! It's October - I LOVE October. Two great things happen this month. The first and by far the best thing that happens this month is my son Dan's birthday and he'll be 14 (my goodness I'm getting very old!). The second great thing to happen for me in October is Hallow'een. When I was a little kiddo I loved Hallow'een probably even more than I loved Christmas - that's wierd for a kid I suppose but I just loved to stare up at the moon looking for witches on broomsticks and I loved (and still do) the smell of candles burning in pumpkins. Now my favourite tale goes that when we were kids me, my brothers and my friends all used to go off Trick or Treating and pumpkins weren't readily available here in Wales in those days (gosh how old do I sound?). We used to use swedes to make our laterns out of and sometimes - and this is no joke - we used to use potatoes! POTATOES! It sounds impossible I know but it's very true! I still love Hallow'een and now that my Dan is getting too old for Trick or Treating (because of course I used to do with him and his friends) I need to find another group of small children who will let me go Trick or Treating with them!! - the fabulous part of Hallow'een is that Bonfire Night is only 5 days off - pure heaven. This year we are having a cool Hallow'een party here at home - I just love to party as you know so I'm already planning the party.
If you'd like a Makeover Mates party, which are also brilliant fun please call us on 01492 573432 or visit http://www.makeovermates.co.uk/ . We are still taking bookings for October and also November and December and even bookings for 2008 if you are super organised.
