I think mine will be going outside the front door within the next few minutes - have you done yours yet or am I too early?

I've just spent the past haf-hour overthinking this, peering up and down the road to see if anyone else's are out! Mine are out now though - and it's just started bloody well raining!

Numbersarefun · 31/10/2022 16:55

It’s very dark here now - but we are right on the east coast!

AutumnScream · 31/10/2022 16:55

Just lit mine now looks like it might rain though lol

I am on my way home from work still but DH has just lit ours.

WhispersOfWickedness · 31/10/2022 16:58

Ours is out, surprised we've not had anone yet, we usually get at least a couple of little ones before it gets too dark...

Cherrysherbet · 31/10/2022 16:58

My fake tea lights are lit! Hope nobody is lighting real flames to go outside? Kids costumes can catch fire so easily.

Stay safe everyone.

Mine are out and I did a little sign on a little whiteboard too #keen

I have a unicorn horn headband on (it’s black and white to make it spooky)

no one called round yet, lol. I’ve just realised it’s an inset day round here and I bet loads of people are just getting back off holiday and won’t bother fml

I got DD to switch on the LED thing inside ours when she came in about half an hour ago. Not had any guisers yet but its only just got dark.

Orangedaisy · 31/10/2022 17:01

I have put ours out. The heavens have just opened in a colossal way though, properly big fat rain, I doubt we’ll see anyone any time soon!

EndlessMagpies · 31/10/2022 17:01

That's it, I have released them into the wild.

Waiting for DC to come home from nursery because they want to see the candle being lit. Hasn’t stopped a load of feral kids without costumes play knock-and-run or chance their arm for sweets despite no signal we have any!

Cwcwbird · 31/10/2022 17:03

Mine are out and we just had our first (adorable) little trick or treater

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 31/10/2022 17:04

Dh lit ours about 20 minutes ago - my usual very un-artistic effort in the window.

gourmetperle · 31/10/2022 17:04

We were about to go trick or treating and realised its pouring with rain! So annoyed!

TheRealKatnissEverdeen · 31/10/2022 17:04

We've had two knocks so far. LED pumpkin went on about 30 mins ago.

Lorrymum · 31/10/2022 17:05

Such a shame, pouring down here (South East)

skgnome · 31/10/2022 17:05

DD just went out with friends
DH is on a conference call… I’m waiting for him to finish to lit ours

EndlessMagpies · 31/10/2022 17:15

It is properly dark here now, and I've had a look outside. Nobody else down our street has bothered with a pumpkin, and no sign of any trick or treaters either. No sign of rain at the moment.

I was just about to say this!

Especially after what happened to Claudia Winkleman's daughter.

Discovereads · 31/10/2022 17:27

Lit our pumpkins about an hour ago. Have had two trick or treaters so far. 🎃

ShesThunderstorms · 31/10/2022 17:34

We've had ours out since it got dark, no knocks yet!

Answerthedoor · 31/10/2022 17:37

Fake tealights in mine - have had them lit since 4:45pm. Had about 10 sets so far - all very sweet! 🎃

stuntbubbles · 31/10/2022 17:42

Pumpkin is lit! Along with fairy lights for a Stars Hollow Halloween effect. Real candle but it’s in the front garden far from the porch and inaccessible to anyone in costumes or anyone except a cat burglar, really.

Confuzzlediddled · 31/10/2022 17:45

LED pumpkin been out for about half an hour, had 5 groups so far and I'm already exhausted, disability and trick or treat don't go well together!
