Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies! Hope you all been shopping and buying all of ASDA's stock so next year they'll be putting EVEN MORE OUT!

Thank you Dutchess of Darkness for your welcome message. I appreciate it...

I just got an email from Woolworths to say that their stuff will be out ''from'' September 24th and by the 8th October all the stuff will be out!

Last year they had wicked bleeding candles, a cauldron, a monster skull face and a cool skeleton type hand that bled as well, wow! Hope they got those this year too...

I forgot to mention that Asda have these really cool lights of a Skeleton in a coffin for Ã‚Â£7 (one skeleton in each coffin = 10 coffins). They are quite big about 9 or 10 cm long. So I think I'm gonna buy those, amongst other things this saturday when I drive to a big Asda superstore I've never been to before in Watford - see my commitment guys!! I only drive local usually!!! Pray I get there in one piece!!!

They are also doing a brilliant 'snow ball' with I think a ghost inside and when you shake it, it shrieks and has all little bats flying (not snow!) for only Ã‚Â£5! There are also these rubbery monsters and ugly things in rubber cages for Ã‚Â£2.98.

I could go on forever.........

Talk soon...
George

Hi All

Thank you MHooch for your kind words about my Graveyard/Pumpkinpatch. I too love JOL (although I was getting a little perturbed with them by the time I got to number 15 last year!)

It was really a last minute effort thing and the picket fence was kindly made very quickly by one of my hubbies colleagues. I was really pleased with the final result.

Unstoppable...I got all excited yesterday about going to Asda today and begin my spending fest. I picked up the daughter from school....fought my way through all the schools traffic....ran into the store and.....nothing

I searched the store from top to bottom and eventually asked only to be told.."oh...we arn't sure when it is going to be put out"

"Why?" I asked when other stores already have theirs????

We Don't know they said. I could have cried

So I left...very dejected. I cheered myself up with a trip to T K Maxx which although very small, they did have a few items to look at. I treated myself to a Tin Plate Happy Halloween sign (Which I will photgraph at some point) and my best purchase...a ceramic dip tray..3 dishes shaped as Witches hats.

Also I know the Asda in Watford that you mean...my sister lives opposite it. I am hoping to get there in the next fortnight or so, their selection is usually second to none!

My package finally arrived from Terry's Village and I just wanted to share my bathroom decor.

I think the toilet paper head is the best item I've seen in a while. That's some great decorations you have there.

I love it all!
I'm concentrating on the kitchen this year but I'll definately keep that in mind for next year.
Awesome

I'm with Dr. Strange on that TP cover. I like the shower curtain and the bath mats too. =)

Hi

Britishwitch, sorry to hear your local Asda doesn't have the stuff out, head office did say to me the 8th Sept, they did not say that it would only be in some stores. I did not ask about specific stores, only when would the stuff be out in the stores. It may be the case that the management in your store don't want the stuff out yet, or they want to get rid of the back to school stock first, or something like this......It's a horrible feeling when you have your hopes shattered like that... Hope you find some stuff soon....

You know the Watford store?! Wow!! Well I'll be going Saturday, especially now you say the selection is second to none!!!

Is it a big selection then? There are videos on YouTube of people in Asda in the Halloween aisle (type in 'Asda Halloween') looking at the stuff and being silly, etc, but there is one video where the guy pans the camera around briefly and the whole aisle (two of them) seem a mile long of Halloween goodies!!

Is Watford like this?!!! I hope so........

Great that you found some bits in TK Maxx to cheer yourself up. Try and get to a bigger TK Maxx store, cause you'll adore the merchandise!

Revelesnet - your stuff looks amazing! I want it ALL!!! I'd love the mats and shower curtain and the Toilet seat!!!

Speaking of toilet roll holders, Asda have a toilet roll holder (the bar part) which talks when someone takes some paper!!! Another item I forgot to mention...... about Ã‚Â£7.

Talk soon

Hi Unstoppable

In recent years when I have been to visit my sis we have always had a trip over there and it has always been a pretty impressive selection! I think because it is a Walmart instead of an Asda!

I have just photographed two of my purchases from TK Maxx for you to see.

I thought they were cute! The lantern is about 5" tall but will be great for decorating my Halloween Tree (Which I have yet to purchase!)

The Happy Halloween sign is quite large and as it is made of Tin Plate I hope to hang it outside the front door!

This new stuff was given to me for my birthday:

and this is even more special because a friend painted it for me...

Plus the hubby gave me 2 new pieces for my village (I'll post pics after I take them out of the boxes), and my daughter bought me a bunch of Halloween scrapbook stuff, including some great stamps of creepy phrases. It's great to have friends that indulge my tastes!!

revelesnet, Love the bathroom, especially the toilet paper cover, but the soap dish and dispenser are awesome too. Nice find.
