OT - General Chat

Hi everyone - I'm sat here waiting for our doorbell to go - it never does!! Got some sweets in though 'just in case'. My three are getting ready to go out to one of the pubs in town dressed for Halloween - DS is a zombie, haven't seen the girls yet!

We have been very busy tonight - I have nearly run out of sweets !!!!!

I am sitting eating the nuts the kids dont like - I was just telling them when I was little it was all monkey nuts and if you were lucky you got a sweet

Sorry, just got to rant. My DH took my eldest two (8 and 4) trick or treating down our street. 2 neighbour's kids went with them (same ages) and they were all dressed up. Most of the neighbours really got into the spirit of things - as our children are the only kids in the street - except one. She answered the door, took one look at the 4 little kids on her doorstep, rolled her eyes and shut the door in their faces. Can you believe that? She has grown up kids of her own too.

That was rude. She could have been polite about it. People round here are encouraged to put a poster in their window if they don't want people knocking for trick or treat.

Bob - when you are next back on.......food photos are on the DLH thread for you.

I agree. Our neighbour is a vicar so we don't call there and DH avoids going to the elderly people's houses. The woman who shut the door has a son who went to school with my DH! One woman answered the door as a witch.

I love it when the adults get into it, my mother and father in law were dressed up and my 3 year old was petrified!!!

OMG, how lovely!!

We live in a really quiet, kid free close in the middle of nowhere - so no trick or treaters for us ever.

Never mind.

We didn't have any tonight ... well, not till literally 5 minutes ago but I didn't bother to open the door as I'm already in my PJs and kids already in bed lol. I had some sweeties ready and my two wanted to wear their outfits just in case anyone came trick-or-treating (DD had her fairy wings & fairy skirt on and DS had DD's witch's hat & black skirt on ... ermm, yes lol) but no one came. So they had a couple of lollipops to eat lol. And as I've said, someone's just knocked on the door. Typical. I looked out and there were 3 kids & a grown-up all dressed up. We don't get that many around here, usually only 4-5 at most.
