i'm sat here waiting for the feckers with a bucket load of sweets and not one knock yet..oh hold on the outside light isn't on.  durr.

 I've been getting trick or treaters for the last couple of days. 

Just ensured the house is in blackout in case 

I've parked the car diagonally across the drive so that they can't get access.

It wouldn't be so bad if they played by the rules. Most people around here who want to partake show clear iconic symbols.

We have a sign up as we do not want disturbing tonight....MrB is dozing and woebetide anyone who ignores the sign....I am in full on lioness mode tonight

That wouldn't work for us GJ, cos our garden is open plan..... and they would just traipse across the lawn I don't actually mind the little ones (so long as they come with their parents)

Mrs B

so far, i have had a pumpkin and a fairy stood at the door, no words just buckets held out. bless em.

i was just bemoaning the fact that since we moved we dont get kids  doing trick or treat, we used to get loads,  was great.

we ran out of sweets one year so i got my housemate to fire up his icream van and he was handing out lollies and  cones, news dont half travel fast, we  were knee deep in kids for the next hour.

  probs came from all over town, cos there aren't  that many  around here ...

Had a few so far but I'm hoping they don't call past 7pm coz I want to get ready for a party and the OH has decided he's going out soon........lovely of him to leave me to it.

Just had my two grand sons with their mum and some friends - it's all been very quiet TBH

We have had about 5, all tiny ones  

I hope we get a fair few as ive a ton of party bags and made two dozen pumpkin cupcakes for them!

 Me too Velvet

I have never liked Halloween not even as a child.

It is my sister's birthday today, so it can't be ALL bad.

I've just had 3 little witches  i don't mind the little kids and i have a cut off time when the soaps start 

  It`s my sister`s birthday too Fluffy.  

Well I'm all done. Lights out. proper smiling at the kids who's first real year it was, just standing there amazed they were getting sweets by just saying Trick or Treat.

now for dinner.

We've had about three lots - hope we don't get anymore because I've just eaten the rest of the chocolate that I bought for them!!

Mr Woos friend just rang the doorbell to pick up keys (he's borrowing the refrigerated van tomorrow) I answered the door armed with sweeties 

I'm wondering if it's too early to start stuffing my face with the left overs ................I should really save them for my boys!

I've only had my great niece and nephew.   Their mum was telling me that her neighbour had a couple at the door earlier - she gave them sweets and they said 'ta.. but where's the feckin money...'     

I did that with the Avon lady

Awwww

.... If any of the kids that knocked on my door had said that they would have gone away with a flea in their ear.... and minus their sweets!!!

the best trick or treater i ever had  was 3 teenagers, one bloke( in  regulation hoodie) and two girls both done up in full slap, trying to look cool  and disinterested ,all at the same time.leaning,  in a studied casual pose against the porch wall. having convinced themselves that  it was all a bit beneath them and very uncool, but the  lure of some thing to do on a wet wednesday in wiltshire with sweets thrown in  was just too much.

it went some thing like this 'ring ring'

I open the door...

'yeah trick or treat' - this is said in unison,in a very bored voice,  and i suspect was part of the pact between them( i ain't sayin it unless we all say it together)

'sniff'

me '' whats the trick then?'

hoodie boy ' wut?'

''you said  trick or treat, so whats the trick then?'

-frowning  and much lookin at each other ensues-

 girl one

 'we dont really do any tricks or nuffin,do we aiysha?'

aiysha ' nah'

me,holds out sweetie box - ''have some sweets then''

'yeah cheers' says hoodie boy

'sniff'  go the girls in unison...

'

I had one knock about 6.30 PM I didn't answer the door 

same here Baz

Lovely evening...

Put the light up pumpkin and ghostie in the window.

Had ... 3 witches, a ghost and a zombie - all little ones accompanied by their parents.They were all very polite and said thank you for the sweeties...

And then at about 8pm - 2 teenage zombie schoolgirls with very short skirts!

None here this year,mind, the weather turned shite and it was pissing it down.

haven't had any,but it's been that way for the last few years,there's not many young kids around here and it's such a trek up a steep hill that no one can be bothered..

best one we did get was a good few years back..2 girls aged about 12 knocked on the door a week and a half before halloween..

'Trick or treat'

'It's not Halloween for another 10 days'

'Yeah but we're going on holiday so we'll miss it so we're doing it now'

I gave them some sweets for their inventiveness....
