This evening I had a bit of a melt down. What the heck is going on in the UK stores this year???? Where are all the Halloween branded sweets? Why can't I buy orange tissue paper in any of the local card shops . And don't expect to find a blooming Halloween card!!!!!

Sainsburys have .............................................. wait for it........................................................................................PUMPKINS! THAT"S ALL . JUST PUMPKINS

Asda and Tesco have the same stuff. AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I know!! I couldn't find any orange tissue paper either. Even the school where my mum works were all out The lack of quality halloween stuff is always a let down. Why do we get our hopes up each year knowing full well its almost all going to be utter garbage? Gluttons for punishment me thinks. Paperchase had a couple of halloween cards but not what I'd call particularly decent.

Have you ever been to Country Basket? (might have the name wrong) I think its like a floral wholesaler or something but a friend of a friend said she'd been and they had lots of halloween bits. Now, I didn't get too excited because this person isn't halloweeny like we are and maybe ever so slightly easily pleased when it comes to such things . I think there's one in Glasgow so maybe a trip into the shop is worthwhile if im in that neck of the woods. I got to 31st St yesterday but I wasn't impressed. £100 for a skeleton! The one in B&M is much better quality even with the stupid clown paint and its only £30.

I had such high hopes for Halloween this year since TK maxx has had some good stuff, but it has just taken a nose dive from there. October tomorrow and the stores are filling rapidly with Christmas crap. I know some places have cut their Halloween merchandise because they have been left with lots in previous year but that is because they stock the same stuff every year.

There's not even a sign of Halloween cakes, just a few Jaffa cakes bars and rebranded Kiplings biscuits.

MM -Your Paperchase must be a better grade than ours - that was their excuse " We are not graded for Halloween cards"

I know, so hard to find anything Halloween! Wait.. I'm lying. I'm sorry. I feel your pain though.. maybe. I mean, it's a little different. I have so much to choose from and only so much space and money....

I'm not helping, am I...

Well, I could come visit and bring a suitcase full of Halloween thingys. haha
