Sorry - it's only the M&S stuff. Have to get them as soon as the store gets their supply in as they go fast and they usually only get the one shipment.
My son is more interested in Halloween. Although at 13 he's probably getting too old to trick & treat, he's still planning on go out this year. It'll be his last one so I'll let him go this year. He keeps looking at the costumes online and of course wants the most expensive one. I think I've finally convinced him that it's silly spending so much money on something he'll only wear once. I've got to come up with one for me as well as they do a Halloween potluck and costume contest at work. I thought about dressing up in a bobby uniform. I've got black trousers, navy blue jumper, white blouse, flashlight and even the handcuffs and a walkie-talkie. I've even got the police badge off the uniform - they let me keep one as a souvenir when I left the force. The big problem is finding a female bobby helmet. One of the Brit store does carry kid's helmets but only the men's version. Going to have to google a bit more and see if any of them in a wider area carry female ones - I know one place did a couple years ago but I can't remember which one or where it was.

Getting rid of a sofa reminds me of the one out back that the othewise-angelic cat shredded. He's a shelter adoption, and was so happy to have a home he just smiles and purrs. But, for some reson he decided that couch was a scratcher! Never harms the one we use.
Halloween is great. I always liked it. We went out for our last run at 12 years old. If you don't count several of us brazenly trick-or-treating under the guise of taking my friend's little brother around when we were in High School. Good times. I'm not looking forward to the holidays yet either. It'll be interestng to see how W divides up her time....
Next project is getting that office sorted out, then moving my clothes into bedroom (I had to keep mine in office closet because this place has tiny closets). Then I can bring the roll-top desk and oak filing cabinet in from back room to have more room out there for exercise gear. So.... Basically rearranging everything!
I am reminded of when my first wife became a WAW, long before I ever heard of DB. I was thousands of miles from home and family, in the military. I became good friends with my next door neighbors (a co-worker of my ex) and her family. They practically adopted me into the family for the next couple of years. I've never felt more at home with a group of people outside of my own family. Sadly, in the pre-facebook days, I lost touch with them. I did find one friend from that time on FB, but my old neighbors aren't on FB - yet.
It was during that time that I met current W and she started showing her propensity to try to alienate me from close friends and even family. Not necessarily as a scheme, but I think due to her family life not being at all close and comforting. She always seemed to want us to do much less with family and more just the two of us - even with major holidays.

That sounds so much like my H - he moved to the south of England to be as far from his family as possible. It was his idea that we move to Canada (although since the MLC fog, he insists that it was my idea to come back) again to be far away from his family. Earlier this year he told them he was never going back to England. And since we came to Canada he's always found a reason for us not to attend things with my family. His brother is the only family member he has ever admitted to missing.

I understand that some families just aren't close. Or, that some people just can't get along with their family. It's always been hard for me, because my family has always been close. I enjoy spending time with my family, and doing things with them. I've always been happiest those times when there was a lot of family living nearby. I've spent a good deal of time far away, though.
I do try to take my W's upbringing into account because it really was a lonely, unsupported, alienating childhood. It's easy to say that at some point an adult needs to move beyond that, but those defining childhood experiences are hard to shake.
As you know I'm not close to my immediate family, but close to my extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins. I don't speak to them a lot, but when we meet for our yearly family gathering, I spend more time with them than my Dad and stepmum. As you know though, I've not been invited this year! NQ, that made me laugh when you said that your H said it was your suggestion to go over to Canada. These MLCers suddenly get reality twisted up a bit. My H said that last time he came, it was to give me another chance, lol. I don't think that's how it happened, he wanted to come home!

They say that MLCers rewrite their own history, and it certainly is true with my H. Maybe one day he'll wake up and realize what the truth was and what he walked away from, but if not, his loss.
