Despite the military precision with which I planned Jamie and my Halloween Boys' Day Out, it's fallen to an arse (as they say in the posher parts of Coleraine).
Jamie hasn't been 100% since his school broke up last week and, after a couple of duvet days on Saturday and Sunday, it appeared the worst was behind him. But, as you can see above, the duvet is back out of the cupboard.
As a result, our cinema trip was binned and, although he did eat half a Happy Meal at our local McDonald's, his appearance at his good mate Euan's Halloween party later today is in the balance.
One person who will not be missing out on the Halloween festivities is Charlotte who flew solo to nursery this morning on her baby broomstick.
OK, that's not true - but she did look cute before the off dressed as a junior witch.
Don't get too scared tonight.
