Thanks! So is it likely he will turn up as the only pirate/superhero whatever and most/all other kids will be vampires frankenstein scary type things?


Dont want him to feel left out or get laughed at, but maybe at 3 1/2 he would be too young to notice? Hm...

Aww, Thanks all, he wants to go as "pirate jake" so lets go with that. Fingers crossed he wont change his mind. Have an unpleasant memory of me being laughed at as a child at a fancy dress thing but we were much older.

Note to self to stop projecting own neurotic behavious on to child...


Precious first born syndrome anyone?

I believe this came up in a thread here years ago but when I was about 5 or 6 my mum made me dress up for a party as a poacher, complete with my soft toy bunnies stripped of their clothes and strung upside down with garden twine from a pole.

It wasn't even Halloween, just a regular kids birthday party. Everyone else went as a princess.

Just to say that I happen to be in California this Halloween and people are dressing up as whatever. The funniest sight I saw was a guy pushing a baby in a buggy with a unicorn head piece and unicorn hooves. We heard his wife saying to him can you see darling" and his plaintive reply, " I can just about see you". Let's hope it never comes to that in North Cross road.

I don't usually come into the family bit, but glad I did, that made me laugh so much (though also I really felt for you) :)

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
