Yeah we finally got a phone call at nearly 3pm to come in, by which point we were almost certain it wasn't going to happen. Just been to pick her up. Seems to have gone OK, still sceptical it will do anything as it's something for her achilles when her actual issue is with her calves. |

It sounds like it has been dragged out long enough already. |

Damn. I had the choice between a free Greggs coffee and a Cafe Nero. All the Cafe Nero codes have gone. Damn you whoever redeemed all the codes before me.

Time for the annual ‘hide from the 17 year olds in tracksuits trick or treating’ stint.

Police presence in a trouble spot my bus passes through on the way home from work, where kids hide in the bushes and try to put bus windows through with rocks. Not tonight, you little scrotes.

Somehow I've managed to escape traipsing round with the sprogs doing TorT over the years, same as I managed to avoid all the kids parties either attending others or our own, gotta have some principles! Christ knows I've paid for them though (financially).

My missus loves Halloween and always puts a window display up. 50 groups of hyperactive kids this year.
Fuck that! I'd gladly do a Fred given the choice.

Yeah, my wife loves it too. This year's display involved projecting pumpkin faces onto pumpkins whilst they sang songs and told jokes. Was pretty awesome tbf.

To be fair in our last house we lived in a terrace in a row of three other terrace roads so every living room window was 3ft from the pavement, it was window wars come Halloween/Christmas, the road we live in now is along a valley with every house having steps up or steps down to the front door so much more random and less prone to the door knockers etc.

Ha, loads of houses around my way look like that all year round The one that was growing cannabis and then was set alight following a raid would make the perfect setting for a low budget horror film. |

Had to get the stepladder out to peel the remains of a couple of these off the living room ceiling this evening. Easily one of the nightmare scenario party bag items. Why does anyone inflict these on their fellow parents?!  |

It's like a vicious circle. "I had suffer then, you shall too". Had to stop the wife buying them as stocking fillers too.

EBay- I ALWAYS leave feedback.
So why don’t more people leave proper feedback? Like an ‘all good’ will do. I want my count to go up

I get it the reason for it, but they always want actual narrative instead of just clicking a thumbs up or something, and to be arsey, the transaction is goods for money, not goods and then follow up work as a Yell critic on top of it once I receive the goods. Amazon questions do my head in too 😂 You’d probably hate me. |

An annoying bug on Sainsburys Online Grocery Shop: load items in at a later date and their unit has changed. Nearly ended up with 2kg of red onions.
