It's bonfire night 
Have made giant pumpkin soup (and parents have made further two giant soups and enormous preserving pam full of mulled wine), purchased sausages, ketchup, finger rolls and marshmallows, collected/bought chestnuts (though not spiked yet - must remember to do later) and mixed up enough wholemeal bread dough to make (hopefully) 60-100 soup rolls 
Have afternoon off today to finalise my bits of cooking and spike chestnuts...
My dad has built lovely bonfire (there were lots of things to burn this year, as my parents have gutted the rooms that my brother and I used to sleep in) and bought a million lovely explosives and the weather forecast could be much much worse...
Hurrah - am v excited
