Thankfully we don't live in suburbia so there is no t & t here. If kids showed up I would have to offer them dried organic apricots, medjool dates or fruit lol.

I am not a huge fan of trick or treating either, but we are having a Halloween party this year. Last year DH and I had a work Halloween party to go to, and ever since, DS has wanted one. Also, I think entertaining a bunch of the kids friends here is better than sending them out around the streets. DS does want to go outside and knock on our door though 😄
My shopping has been decorations for the house - cobwebs, led lanterns, spiders, bright coloured ghost banners...

That's a great idea Jo, the fun of Halloween without any risk or greed.

I bought this in Hobart, hadn't seen it around here. It's an all natural Chai. Made by Fraus.
Very nice.

I love Chai Lattes! I bought a Aldi milk frother just to heat up milk to make them. So far the nicest I've tried are the Bondi Chai ones but they're expensive, I've tried the syrup and the Arcadia one but still not as good :(. Probably not going to be able to find that one here in Melbourne, Bedlam. I might try The Prana one though!

Ooooh, DH has been shopping......a caravan!!!  We are going to collect it next weekend  ;D  I think any other shopping will now be on hold for a while.  ;) (good thing Xmas shopping is nearly done here)

The kids are going to LOVE it.  It's a 6 berth with 2 sets of bunks so we can take them and a friend each.
DH is so excited - we have been browsing for years, without being too serious, but now we are finally going for it.  Lots to learn!
