We’ve had 1 but a friend in another area has had loads. Hope we haven’t bought way too many sweets

We've only had one group of two just now. Our house is decorated with lots of stuff and I have 4 tubs of sweets in so I'm hoping to get many more!

DillDanding · 31/10/2022 17:38

No, but we are rural so never get them (thankfully).

Sirzy · 31/10/2022 17:38

No I have seen a few groups of kids around outside but so far thankfully they are following the no decoration no knocking rule

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 31/10/2022 17:39

Loads but we’re not there currently away.

Allmyaarrgghandpeggymartin · 31/10/2022 17:39

Yes two lots both absolutely adorable and beautiful manners. Makes me wish kids did carol singing these days. Although I’d be balling on the doorstep, can’t take kids singing since I became a mum.

Glenthebattleostrich · 31/10/2022 17:39

loads. just told one kid off for trying to take half a bowl of sweets because mine are small apparently.

And a family dressed as the Ghostbusters, complete with slimmer!

Purplechocolateforme · 31/10/2022 17:41

Just had another lot now

ive had about 5 sets of them, I have dogs so I have put all my decs and pumpkins out and I’m sitting in the porch. I love small people trick or treating, I think it’s so cute!

PuttingDownRoots · 31/10/2022 17:43

7 or 8 sets. We are just of the main estate though.

Rogue1001MNer · 31/10/2022 17:43

SilverGlitterBaubles · 31/10/2022 17:45

Not yet but it's raining and a school night plus I know lots of kids had Halloween activities over the weekend.

TheSausageKingofChicago · 31/10/2022 17:45

No. They need to hurry up or I’ll have scoffed all the chocolate 🤣

drop left overs at a local food bank or similar, I am sure they will be enjoyed by the families who use their services

exLtEveDallas · 31/10/2022 17:46

It is absolutely bucking down here, but we’ve still had 3 groups of very soggy children. Don’t think we’ll get through the two tins of Quality Street DH bought though.

WeakAsIAm · 31/10/2022 17:49

Just one up to now,

Mum called after him "what do you say?"

"Oh yeah....trick or treat"

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The mum wasn't impressed but made my evening

Abraxan · 31/10/2022 17:50

Two small children and none others yet.

We normally have tons.
I'm concerned I am going to be left with a load of sweets and only me to eat them! I may have already eaten a lolly, 😂

TheLoupGarou · 31/10/2022 17:51

We've had loads, at least 10 lots of kids since 5, mostly little tots... Am expecting another wave of slightly older ones over the next hour or so

BreatheInFor4 · 31/10/2022 17:51

Pissing down here, but we have had five sets of kids so far.

Thanking my lucky stars my kids are too old for trick or treating nowadays. Some seriously wet and pissed off looking parents lurking in the shadows 😆

LubaLuca · 31/10/2022 17:51

Loads, more than we've had in the past. Mainly little children with parents, and a handful of maybe Y7 girls too.

TheLoupGarou · 31/10/2022 17:52

Can confirm I've eaten 2 mini mars

Eleusa · 31/10/2022 17:52

About 50 so far. I always buy more sweets than I think we could possibly need and then we always run out. last year I had to get out my Christmas chocolate stash and send them all away with mini Lindt santas.

TeenDivided · 31/10/2022 17:53

1 lot about an hour ago, but we don't have any lights up this year. I suggested to the parent they go to houses with pumpkins (but did give them something).
In other years when my DC were younger we have had 60-80.
Not doing this year as it will send my DD's anxiety soaring.

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 31/10/2022 17:53

None 😞 and its really raining hard here, I hope it stops soon 🤞🏼

Baconking · 31/10/2022 17:55

My DD can't go out until about 6.30 so I hope it's not too late 😖

BashfulClam · 31/10/2022 17:56

Nope, had several Guisers though. A tiny Skeleton just knocked on the door.
