We're ready, its dark enough to need the light on in the living room - come on people! I'm sure they started coming earlier than this last year, although it wasn't half term last year.

Now! (Or actually, 10 minutes ago).

Waiting patiently....

QueenWhatevs · 31/10/2019 16:39

Argh! I feel like a teenager in a bad American movie waiting for their prom date to show!

We've had a couple of super smiley little ones already while we're eating tea.

We're heading out with friends around 6pm ish when they call for us :)

QueenWhatevs · 31/10/2019 16:40

We will have A LOT of chocolate to get through if nobody comes 😂

Our first lot were here at bang on 4.30 and since then we've had no one. Normally they start about 4pm around here and by this time we've had lots of littles I've no idea where they have all disappeared to.

Us too last year we had over 300! So far this year its been 1 group of 3...

Flyingsouthwiththeswallows · 31/10/2019 16:44

300 SmileCheese !!

Now I am scared. I only have 40ish bars of chocolate ready and no back ups.

WhispersOfWickedness · 31/10/2019 16:48

We've not had any yet and we normally have by now 😬 I hope not too many though as we've not got many sweets in this year 🤦‍♀️

SmileCheese · 31/10/2019 16:48

Yep over 300, the joys of living near several schools. Grin I don't mind I love Halloween. Halloween Wink

MrsRedFly · 31/10/2019 16:48

We've had none yet - and I've started eating the sweets already!

ExpletiveDEVILighted · 31/10/2019 16:52

None here yet but its not dark yet. A zombie has just walked past and stared at us though.

QueenWhatevs · 31/10/2019 16:53

We gave away 88 last year (4×22 packs) so we have just over 100 this year. We've just had one group of four.

I ran out of chocolate after half an hour last year. 3 tubs!

ExpletiveDEVILighted · 31/10/2019 16:59

It was a bit freaky. He just turned and stared in the window.

MagicKingdom17 · 31/10/2019 17:01

No trick or treaters asof yet Haloween Sad.
We did have a charity caller though. I asked him if he wanted any treats, he politely declined!

MillicentMartha · 31/10/2019 17:04

After 20 years of joining in we’ve shut up shop this year. Leaving it to those with young families.

GameSetMatch · 31/10/2019 17:06

Most parents aren’t home from work yet are they, I’d say it starts about 6pm, maybe some little ones about 5.30

maloofhoof · 31/10/2019 17:08

Just had our first one.

Grasspigeons · 31/10/2019 17:10

5.39 to 6.00ish tound here.

mummmy2017 · 31/10/2019 17:11

Dawn some as i drove home, our town center did a trick or treat crawl, there were children everywhere dressed up, with their buckets of treats. Cute

slowdownplease · 31/10/2019 17:13

@Grasspigeons
That's very precise!😂

Rockbird · 31/10/2019 17:13

I wish they'd hurry up. My two are driving me mad knocking on the door and pretending to be trick or treaters Hmm

smartcarnotsosmartdriver · 31/10/2019 17:16

Kicked off about half an hour ago round our way, we do an even hundred but could easily give more, I do wee bags so everyone gets the same. I love it, the littlest ones are so cute.
