Returning for the third year and back by popular demand - well, doyen of the WAG-world @AnneKipankitoo has been pestering me to start one.

Change your name to something Hallowe'eny and post, telling us what your previous name was if you like and especially if you've chosen a pun on your old name. Leave it at that if you prefer, or post whatever you like in the spirit of Hallowe'en fun and shenanigans.

No voting, no prizes, all welcome in all your gory glory.

It's time to swap our pearls for skulls and clutch them instead. Come and join us...if you dare.

And I invoke the spirit of MNHWOOoooo: RELEASE THOSE HALLOWE'EN EMOJIS!!!

My house is in the beWOOlderness!
No one knocks here unless they have had an accident.

That's good, @iklboogiemaninthecloset

Ha, at about 13 years my DS2 figured out he didn't need to canvas the neighbourhood for treats on Halloween...he knew that the shops had all their sweets on offer 75% off the day after so he'd use his pocket money...practical, that oneHalloween Grin I think he kind of missed the point😂

UK have you had a time change already? It appears we are only 4 hours behind instead of our usual 5...Eastern standard time Halloween Confused
Time change in US happens Saturday, 6 Nov

AnneKipankiWOO · 01/11/2021 07:31

Yes @TrickorSweets21 . Out clocks changed yesterday.

AnneKipankiWOO · 01/11/2021 07:33

Morning!

All exhausted after the night before?🧙🏼‍♀️🧹👻🎃💦💨

KurtWildeWitchOfTheWoods · 01/11/2021 08:44

Good moooaaaning my ghastlies, I trust everyone had a decent Halloween?

Trick or treating was a damp squib, not many were answering their door! Kids still enjoyed it though, came home absolutely soaking wet and blown around but still smiling! Weird creatures!

SpookyScarySkeletons · 01/11/2021 09:27

Hardly anyone came to ours. We had put the sign in the door apologising. We have a ring doorbell so we saw 4 groups approaching and then reading the sign and going. It was torrential rain here though.

KurtWildeWitchOfTheWoods · 01/11/2021 09:48

Yep we got the torrential rain too. I had been about to veto it but friends and their mum turned up before I could call and cancel. Half an hour later my dripping wet spooks returned with a meagre amount of Halloween booty but still happy so...

TheWOooWOooWOoonlyMrsM · 01/11/2021 10:51

Good Morning, Hallowe'enies. Halloween Smile

Good moaning. It's hammering down here today. I've got soggy moggies who are not happy. Really dark here too.

Nobody called last night, as expected. I don't think I saw anybody out either. Most will probably have gone to one of the local pubs who were having parties

TheWOooWOooWOoonlyMrsM · 01/11/2021 11:10

Yes, it really was Hallowe'en Horror weather, wasn't it? At one point quite late last night, as we were all sitting by pumpkin candlelight, our back door was blown open and leaves flew in and swirled around in the doorway and over us at the kitchen table. Halloween Shock I found myself calling out, 'do come in!' We laughed but it certainly added to the atmosphere! It's very dark and at night where we live.

There seems to be an extra 'and' in that last sentence; the gremlins have even taken over my keyboard. Halloween Hmm

Witch's cats, @iklboogiemaninthecloset ? Halloween Wink

Surely, you have cleared up the weather for them, as they would expect?

Well, the light is hurting my eyes nothing new there, all my joints are aching from the monster-mashing and the battery is flat on my broom, but what can you do, @AnneKipankiWOO? Halloween Confused

@TheWOooWOooWOoonlyMrsM - this pair of reprobates.

Weird creatures!
Absolutely, @KurtWildeWitchOfTheWoods - I remember the years when they've insisted on going out in pouring rain - and we have to walk quite some distances over country in the pitch black here and to the few neighbours so pickings are sparse - and come back soaking wet and with the sweeties all soggy and colours running because of all the rain water in the bottom of their treat buckets. But they were still happy.

Extreme trick or treating. Halloween Grin

Yes, it looks like you have disappointed them deeply, @iklboogiemaninthecloset

If they could post on here about you, they would be using the Halloween Biscuit emoji, I have no doubt.

Could you run them up some little rain suits, with hoods and booties?

They are beautiful, but don't tell them that.

We've decided to dress up as a 70s rock group
I'd like to have seen that, @TrickorSweets21 ! I got told I looked like Elton John from about that era, in my pumpkin and bat specs also Dame Edna Everage Halloween Blush

OP posts:
KurtWildeWitchOfTheWoods · 01/11/2021 12:07

Soggy but happy kids.

Not much happiness going on with those soggy moggies though @iklboogiemaninthecloset They look like they think the weather is your fault! My dogs certainly do. They take one look out of the back door at the rain, mud and puddles, then up at me like 'did you do this?' And slink back into their beds Halloween Smile
