Do you think this is

a) because I haven't got a pumpkin and they are being considerate

Or

b) because I gave out pens instead of sweets last year and they remember?

MsMiaWallace · 31/10/2018 18:43

My kids would have loved a pen!!
Lol if it was just a plain old bic pen !

Sorry, got to go....... 🎃

I was just about to start the same thread.

I’ve had one knock. I’m gutted Haloween Sad

I’ve got my bowl of sweets and can hear them running up and down but no one is knocking??

And I didn’t give out pens last year either Halloween Wink

PlateOfBiscuits · 31/10/2018 18:48

More sweets for you Where!

DiaryofWimpyMum · 31/10/2018 18:52

No one here either. I bought in sweets today, enough to answer the door around 5 times but no one has came. My DS2 is 14 and only stopped going out last year, Halloween used to be so much fun!

We haven’t had any here either. No decorations but we do have sweets. Just can’t be decorating this week as i’m too lazy 😳

FissionChips · 31/10/2018 18:54

I’ve taken to running out into the street to offer sweets when I hear a group as no one is knocking.

UnimaginativeUsername · 31/10/2018 18:56

I haven’t got a pumpkin, but I have lots of sweets. I’ve only had one so far tonight. I was going to dig some decorations out of the garage, but I was too lazy. DS1 is away and DS2 is at a Halloween party so I haven’t really been on the ball today.

Bitchbe · 31/10/2018 18:56

My kids would have loved pens 😀

Wenchelda · 31/10/2018 18:57

We've had quite a few knocking but I've also just been out with my kids and we only go to houses that have pumpkins / decorations up.

I'm intrigued by what sort of pens you gave out last year?

WhereHaveTheyGone12 · 31/10/2018 18:57

I don’t even like sweets plate!!

Grin fission today is the only day of the year you’d get away with chasing kids with sweets!

hdh747 · 31/10/2018 18:57

My carved pumpkin and decorations are in the window and I have a cauldron of sweets and little toys but only 3 lots so far. We live on a busy main road so don't know if that's why we never get many. But we did give satsumas out one year when we forgot to buy sweets!

scrivette · 31/10/2018 18:58

I would allow my children out if I knew they would get pens and not sweets (mean Mum me!)
Around here they only knock at decorated houses.

Choccybisc · 31/10/2018 18:58

I've had zero!

twinkletoedelephant · 31/10/2018 18:59

They've all been here we are half way through our second box of haribo (50 bags a box ) ... It's only 7 o'clock

Bumbumtaloo · 31/10/2018 18:59

My DD’s would have loved a pen and wanted to go back to your house this year Grin

Where I live they only go to houses with pumpkins and they are really good to sticking with it but I do live in quite a small village.

viccat · 31/10/2018 19:01

A steady stream of visitors here but they only knock on decorated houses.

twinkletoedelephant · 31/10/2018 19:01

We also have a stash of apples as D's got one last year and thought that was the best idea ever !! No takers yet
