    Halloween spreading to the workplace

    It was a big thing today. Cobwebs, skulls and ghouls all over the place in the office, and they’ll waste a half day taking it all down tomorrow.

    Now that they’re in ‘squads’ and ‘tribes’ its all gone a bit hippie dippee. Still, better than doing any real work I suppose.

    Pah. Amateurs!

    I had a graveyard. Seven hand carved headstones and one huge cross, wrapped in a full cemetery full of body parts, a full size skeleton sitting on a bench, skeleton dog, 7ft tall Frankenstein butler, spooky animated ghosts, sensory doormat, shed loads of cobwebs, five pumpkins and a full window projector kit of Halloween goodies!!!

    Oh yeah, and a smoke machine.

      I did wear a bat necklace, blood red lipstick and a skull bracelet but that’s my usual attire.

            Do you think I can expense the cost of the pumpkin as advertising?

                Son brought a box of chocolates in case any Trick or Treaters came round but none did. One advantage to being a creepy looking old bloke, now we can scoff them all ourselves.

                  Can you send me a signed photo Xog?

                  I want to put it in the window next year, we had thousands of the locust-like little feckers.

                    Took my kids out as early as possible.

                    are sure you get the best candies before the locust's descend.

                    think I binged on too many tangfastic last night though
