I wanna! I wanna!
I'm going to buy a pumpkin kit (stencils and tools - haven't seen a stencil only kit here but they're £1.99 so I'll forgo my monthly McDonalds breakfast) and pumpkin. I'll have an afternoon's pleasure carving it... or get Dads to do it and have an afternoon's pleasure watching him and reliving my childhood.

And If'n I'm allowed, I'll put it out the front. And if not I'll (grudgingly) offer it to my niece & nephew. In the hopes they refuse it and I can have it in our kitchen all night! Yay!

When we were younger - and poor, as I've said countless times - Dads carved out a grapefruit for us instead. Not that we usually had grapefruit, but it was smaller, cheaper and more obviously edible tham pumpkin. We carried it round on a saucer and were the envy of the neighbourhood. Simpler times.
