Fright Night....ARRRRRRRRRRRR

What a scream!!! Went along to the local Halloween attraction last night, i thought that it would be a bit naff, you know a few dangley skeletons and dodgey lighting.....

Well to stat with it was PACKED, "terror trailer rides" round the woods where people jump out at you, and a mad man running around with a chain saw!!!!!!!!

A "spooky castle" a bit like the fun house at the fair but pitch dark with people chasing you round!!!!!!!! Lots of screaming and not to mention the corn maze, which i have to say if you have ever watched children of the corn is not good!!!

I don't think i have laughed so much in years!!!! What a hoot!!!

One Short Day... in the Emerald City !!!!

Had a WICKED day today !!!

Been into London for the day with best mate Gina to the "Wicked Day". went last year and picked up loads of free stuff.... you know, pens and shit! this year was very busy and not so much fee stuff :O( but did manage to get 4 canvas bags that are the perfect scrap booking size.. just over 12 X 12 !!!

Had a good wander round before getting the train home, i live so close to London and hardly ever go there, why is it you take for granted the things you have close to home?? It was a great day spending time with a friend, and in the words of a song from the show.... , "Just two good Friends sharing one wonderful, one short day! "

Oh and i got some wicked (LOL) nail polish to match my favorite shoes!!!
