DDs (8 and 9)are going treat or treating for the first time tonight?

[2sugars]

What's the earliest they can start? Bearing in mind we have to be back in time for me to decorate the house, give them time to hand out goodies to other t or t'ers, feed them, bath them, and get them to bed for nine.

And hide all the stuff they've been given.

Any tips for a T or T vigin?

TIA

Unfortunately, it's a complete free-for-all - it would be much better if everyone had a set time, and then there would at least be a bit of atmosphere on the street.

I would say as soon as it gets dark, eg around 6pm, for about half an hour.

Thanks SS. Agree about set time.
