Poundland for Halloween.

My children decorated our house last night for Halloween and it was the best of fun. I love Halloween, not only as my cobwebs are in fashion, but I relish the selection of sweets available, the toffee apples and the boxty. We almost put as much effort into Halloween as we do for Christmas.

This year our house is the scariest on the street. The outside is lit up with spooky pumpkins, spiders webs with glow in the dark spiders, and frightening faces. My hubby was out when all this was taking place, he couldn’t have coped with all the excitement! My 4 year old son was going nuts racing around with skeletons, the older girls were perched on chairs hanging black and orange tinsel from all the pictures, curtain poles and mirrors, and the dog was having a field day with a spooky body part – a sawed off foot.

No, this did not cost £200, I went to Poundland! No-one wants to spend money at Halloween, we are all saving for Christmas. I decorated my entire house inside and out for £20.

The decorating was the beginning of the chaos, I have been talked into having 2 Halloween parties – yes 2! One on Monday night and one on Tuesday night for both of my daughters.

Poundland also took care of the food and I opted for disposable plates and cups to save on the washing up. These are fab, with their ghostly theme they really look the part.

So, get yourself to a Poundland and have fun with the brilliant range of Halloween tableware, sweets, treats and decorations.

Wishing you all a ‘spooktactular’ Halloween!
