Strangers In the Night ...

Anyone else sitting in the dark trying to ignore the Trick or Treaters? The cute little kids have done their stuff and gone home and now it's over to the dodgy teenagers. They didn't bother us last year, because OH had a sense of humour failure the year before and word had got around that Victor Meldrew lived chez nous. Now they're back again, including the unsavoury lot down the road who are into rearranging cars. Ah well. Lights out, sound down and wine open. It's going to be a long night.

 

what cheeses me off, is the parents that accompany the young children .... they are the ones with chocolate all over their faces ....

I think they eat more sweets/chocolates than their kids

 

Haha well we buy one big bag of the individually wrapped Haribo chew things and get a box of Jamie dodgers out of the cupboard and when there gone there gone:o saying that they last a couple of hours and that does most of the little ones and then we just turn the kitchen and porch light out a disconnect the door bell

 

Bloke on the radio pointed out that it is begging for sweets, but begging none the less, and begging is ilegal

 

Had a few round, but they are mostly to scared to knock on the door of "The Strange House"

 

Last year in Tescos they had a pile of printed notices that you could just help yourself to, the notice has a pumpkin on the top and then in bold lettering it reads: NO TRICK OR TREATERS THANK YOU.
I have that stuck inside the porch door. :yess: They can sod off I don't 'do' Halloween!!!

That put a picture in my head of the Prime Minister, dressed in Halloween gear, knocking on the office door of the IMF with a load of eggs & flour in his hands

 

I don't get any kids coming round here, as i am half a mile outside the village and they won't walk that far! I chose my house well Mind you i do like to see the little tiny ones dressed up - my nephew (aged 3) is dressing up as spiderman - not quite halloween, but very cute!

 

No Kiddiewinks have been here tonight so i'm a little disapointed..mind you Mr Lolimac has turned the volume up on the telly so may have missed them:D My 2 little fellas are running around the house in thier halloween bibs and witches hats with their trick or treat buckets they're only 19mths old bless them...
By the way we don't have any children... i'm talking about my golden retriever pups

 

Oh, not the Tom Baker mask again:DOH:

 

well the police riot van has left my street now so thats the last off them gone

 

im fairly new to our village (2yr) but i think they plan mostly here whos doors between them to knock on to thrill the kids which i dont mind as i dont know anybody that well,i do have a 6yr old daughter who wants to go trick or treating as her school friends are in with the crowd thou ..but im not in with the parents and i dont agree randomly knocking on doors and hoping for sweets either! anyway found a youth club party for her,shes was happy and i missed if anyone knocked on the door as i wasnt home
