siberian_wolf Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I remember those days when I was little and every halloween I used to go out trick or treating with my friends in fancy dress. We had so much fun :D Those days have long gone now :( For ages Ive been wanting to go out for halloween in fancy dress with friends (or Jamies sister and partner should I say) and was really hoping we was going to go out this year, I found my costume and everything, and we didn't go out Then to top it off, we were all prepared for the kids coming over to the house for trick or treat tonight and I was even prepared with a lead so I could take Marley to the door as my "warewolf" (he would have LOVED all the atention!) for this kids. And none came over!!!!! Such a dissappointing Halloween this year :( Got excited for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 we used to have small parties when I was a kid, bobbing for apples, or apples hung on string etc. But it's a different ball game now, becoming more popular and more fun each year - shame I'm too old now!

Alex T Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 We were over run with kids here! Up and down like a yo yo! I dont mind the little kids, but ... What really annoys me though is the gobby teenagers that you get at your doors. We only ever give out sweets - one kids comment " what am I meant to do with these" - eat them you numpty! Another kid "Can I take the whole bag then as they're only cheap" - my response "No chance, they are for the little kids really", to which I got another load of abuse, so in the end I just called the dogs to the door and he soon disappeared without a word!

Sophie's mom Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 trick or treating hasn't started here yet, but we won't get any. Small subdivision on a huge hill with no street lights. Not very kid friendly...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meeshsalts Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 We had no kids come to the house today (damn lots of chc to eat now). When we were out walking th dogs we saw lots of kids wondering around the streets. Maybe it is because most of the people on our street are old and the kids think they wont get anything so don't bother trying. It's their loss as we as usual had got in plenty of treats.

Arooroomom Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 It's been a slow Halloween this year too. No one really decorates anymore. It's just hit 6 and we've had our first kids here. The kids who live across from us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnmw1208 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 we had quite a few kids come through too. I had just enough candy, and by just enough I mean left overs for us too lol. I was really disappointed that hardly anyone decorated in our development too. some people just throw a pumpkin on their lawn as a decoration lol. not me! I gotta have light up ghosts and ghosts hanging from our trees etc etc lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahNukka&Shadow Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Well I have to say Iv been a meany this year but with good cause.. last year we'd only just moved into this neighbourhood and I did my usual going absolutly nuts decorating and spending WAY to much on sweets had loads of nice sweet little kids then a couple of nasty yobs must have been about thirteen wernt happy that we were only giving out sweets so desided to give me a loads of abuse and then kick my lovly carved pumpkins all the way down the street! So this year Iv been a scrooge and not done anything.. went for Pizza at my mums and watched a few "scary" movies. I used to LOVE it sooo much but its just got spoiled by chavy little gits!! I hate living right next to a council estate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renniwano Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 We were out last night.. but we are grumps.. we don't buy heaps of sweets and get fed up with the older kids now who chuck peoples pumpkins about and ask for money.. If people round here were a little more respectful they'd get a lot more.. Shame, because my kids love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathian Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I was listening to the radio Friday night on the commute home from work and some "expert" was talking about how popular Halloween is becoming in the UK with some £6 billion being spent on costumes and sweets etc. Sunday night comes around and no one is in sight..........not one. My thought has to be, who is spending all this money the "experts" are saying is being spent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberian_wolf Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Will be honest, we was all glad that we had no teens come around causing trouble as had Jamies truck outside witch ( couldn't resist soz) had just been decaled, training school car and Paul's Pan European (Not the cheapest of motorbikes!!!) all parked outside the house and would have been really p!ssed if they caused damage to them - mind you I would have liked to see them getting thier @ss kicked after Jamie's got hold of them :lol: We took the boys for a quick walk last night and saw a few groups of kids about with parents further down our road but none of them come to us I'm going to flood the house in decorations next year saying "COME HERE!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!! I HAVE MADE PLANS!!!! Might sound like a wierdo though..... oh well I'll blend in on halloween :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
