Title: Our house is all done up for Halloween
Post by: Chesterfield 4ever on September 03, 2023, 11:03:58 PM
Just had to say our house is now all done up for Halloween. On september 1st me and my mum got the Halloween stuff out and decorated the front room the kitchen and the dining room and it looks absolutely fantastic.  Just love Halloween it's so much better than Christmas.

I love Halloween and it always goes up early in our house. I've just got a Halloween table cloth today. Hope you enjoy your party when it comes around.

I won't be at the village party. Unfortunately the young autistic person I used to take found it too much with the children running noisily around. She enjoyed it for the first couple of years though.

I do generally buy a Pumpkin for 'the night' and make it visible so the children know they can knock for treats.

 :)) :)) :)) To be honest it's not something I'm really interested in, I believe it's come from America.
I try and keep up with the times though ,and the children love it so I join in by offering sweets and putting the Pumpkin out lit up with nashing teeth for them to give them some pleasure.
Around our area they tend to only go where there's a welcome light on which is the decent thing to do.
I put a poster in my daughters window saying 'no trick or treat' as she can't keep getting up to answer her door.
Never had any issues yet!

Autistic people can still go to places I was told to just get on with things.  We had to go through school and I got no special anything from no one and didn't expect it either. We get told to do more not be wrapped up in cotton wool. don't pick this comment up wrong either

I believe in choices and respect what the young person wants. The welfare system has been unfair to some for a few years now - I understand what you are saying

It's Fredrick's ice cream that is in queen's park. How much do you know about chesterfield. Not a lot by the sound of you. The pool went ages ago and they built the swimming baths up boythorpe. Monks used to be up boythorpe as well. You see old cruser I know my stuff when it comes to my hometown even when I don't live there anymore not out of choice though. Trebor was the factory that my dad was a department manager of. He worked his fingers to the bone to get the department up from the ruins at one point. It was then Cadbury Bassett and it was closed in the year he committed suicide 2005. He drowned when I was at work and I had to come out of work and see the police standing over his body. Anyway I know my history of chesterfield.

It's good that you know the history of Chesterfield.
I know the paddling pool has gone. I played in it as a young child. I also know the ice cream is Fredricks but not having visited the park for a long time I wasn't sure if they were still there.
I also remember Trebor and the sweet smell which came from it. Also Robinsons factory. Both were good for employing workers in the Chesterfield and district area

yeah I also went in qp both with my dad and mum. I went on the train with my dad and brother and me and my brother fed the ducks when I was young. My next door neighbour told my mum not to take me and my brother to qp though because it wasn't safe for mother's to go on their own because of who would be hanging around who should not have been.

Oh dear I haven't heard of that. I used to enjoy feeding the ducks. We used to take a ball to play with as well on the grass.

Haven't you that's because you didn't live near my next door neighbor when I was in chesterfield. It's true though woman who had children were told not to go to qp because it wasn't safe.

Pronably!

Did you used to go into the small sweet shop across the road from the Queens Park?
We did.
The shop is still open but I don't know if it's still a sweet shop
