As the big day dawns I am up to my eyes in it as usual. The Halloween outfits have all been ironed and looking bonny. Kirsty-Lee is going to the party as a pirate wench. Her mum has added sequins to her costume to give it a sparkly effect that she likes.

She was sent home from school on Thursday as she had a wee chest infection. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and she is now on the mend.

Had to rethink the face make up for the party as Kirsty-Lee wouldn’t recognise those she knows with their faces covered up so I am going as the wicked witch of the west with only a false nose on instead of the full green and black face.

Dre, Kirsty-Lee’s wee brother is going as a skeleton and her Mum, Marion is going as a harlequin.

It should be an interesting evening with all the costumes. Everyone seems to be getting into the swing of it and dressing up as all sorts. I will post some pictures after the party to let you all see how we enjoyed ourselves.

Prizes still coming in and those who didn’t book or get tickets have now lost out as they have all been sold.

A group of us are going to the venue this afternoon to decorate the stairs and the dance area. All hands to the deck now that we have a few hours left to get it all in place for tonight.

Gwen has kindly agreed to supervise the children’s games for the evening so that the younger ones can have their own fun. Thank you Gwen.

The networking that has been done during the course of setting this event up has been amazing. I have even found a hairdresser that will cut Kirsty-Lee’s hair. This has been a difficulty in the past as she cannot hold her head up on her own. Michelle is even coming to the house to see to Kirsty-Lee’s hair. Thank you Michelle.

Jade and Margaret have been running around like mad things finishing off the things that they committed to doing. Poor Jade says she is stressed out. Things will settle down after tonight and we can all have a well earned rest. There has been a lot of work has gone into the organising of this party but every bit of it has been worth it.

I will post a blog after the event to thank everyone and let all the others know what a fantastic time they missed.

The next big event is the Discovery Challenge on the 12th November in DW Sports Dundee. You can read about this in the events tab on the website.

Here’s to a great evening to be had by all.
