CharlotteEmilyHoward: November 2016

Wassup creepers,

I decided that I actually wanted to do something for halloween this year so I hopped on a train from Canterbury to bae's flat in Sheffield to do spooky things.

That's a lie I actually went home to Nottingham for a bit first, but that's not halloween related.

Here's what went down...

1. Got my nails did a halloweeny colour

2. Carved pumpkins

Note: The dragon/castle one is Tom's (bae) and mine is the monster extravaganza.

I think this is the first time I've ever carved a pumpkin!

(Sure my mum will correct me if I'm wrong)

It's actually easier than I thought it would be.. with a stencil.

Although I did accidentally chop off one little fella's arm.

3. Decorated bae's flat

Apologies for the shite photo quality!

It was dark and I can't afford a meal out never mind a fancy camera.

If you can't tell we threw 'cob webs' around, put a banner up, got light up balloons and put little ghosties on the ceiling.

We also gave Bonsai Bruce a little costume.

4. Went to one of those horror maze things

We went to Yorkshire Scare Grounds specifically.

Here's me and my beautiful bride.

Two of the actors called me out for being short and one scared the shit out of me in the queue because I was too mesmerised by an actor of even shorter stature than myself dressed up as a clown.

5. Baked halloween cakes

Lol.

We guessed that measurements okay!

There's one missing because Tom ate the black one.

The actual cake was pretty nice but the icing tasted as awful as it looks and had wayyyy to much butter in.

That is quite clearly a bat, spider and cobweb. I can hear you asking.

6. Made Tom watch The Nightmare Before Christmas, after convincing him it wasn't the same film as The Grinch...

And drank gin out of these cute cups.

7. Dressed up

For those interested:
Choker - New Look
Cheer Outfit - University of Kent
Lipstick - MAC Russian Red
(I patted highlighter over the top of the lipstick with my finger and did the same with a black eyeshadow in the corners).
