We have had about five lots of children trick or treating,,,,,and I have to say I don't answer the door.. Well some little sod has just opened my front door, can't beleive it. how dare they.. just shouted at them.. Pat

How did he open it? I keep mine locked all the time, whether I'm in or out.

We've had NOT ONE PERSON come to our door. If they dont hurry up, the big bag of chocolate will soon disapear!!

I haven't had anyone either and have left my kitchen light on mind you not seen anyone pass either usually see them on the way to their parties very quiet round here. Think I will turn it off now too late for them to come knocking now. Oh forgot did have Harry Potter early on he was worried as he didn't have sweeties to give his grandma mummy said no grandma gives them to you, anyway his friend is going round later so he can give him some sweeties . He is a sweetheart . Germaine x

We usually have quite a few before now, but so far, not one.....I bet they will wait till Emmerdale is on...... I have bought crisps and chocolate biscuits instead of sweets this year, so I won't be tempted to eat anything......

I had 3 teenagers at a quarter to 6, shining a torch through my letterbox, as all the lights at the front of the house were out. I am now a grumpy old woman and am NOT going to the door for anyone! Jay

Lol sally! Patricia weve had 6 and really cute kids with their mums all dressed up, my lass took my little ones out for a while< Caz xxxxxxxxx

I have put a laminated sign on my front door NO Trick or Treat. So far they have kept away

It's been really quite this year only two have knocked, opened the door to the second lot and their were four of them. Usually it drives me up the wall with all the callers, perhaps they know to steer clear of me lol. I'm not complaining though more sweeties for me. Sue

Well door is locked now.. hate this new front door. has handle and you can open it from outside.... I flew out of this sit as computor is in the hall.... but they had legged it... good job my youngest wasn't here . he would have gone after them.. Have had eigth lots now...... Have never answered the door. as when my boy was about 14 months old (many years ago) I answered door with him in my arms and talc powder was thrown over us. he screamed for ages..... he's 24 now and doesn't like halloween..ahh bless him... Pat

Well don't know whats wrong with us tonight have only seen 2 kids going round and guess what they bypassed us -- um must be remembering the home made sweets hubby gave them last year! !!! Nolls

om g i shouldnt but im sat here laughing, sorry id go bonkers if it were my door, though if it were a little tricker id laugh, three of sons mates knocked and walked in earlier, i thought flippin trickers walking in till i went to see them, they laughed, son had shouted through window to walk in, (how common, he'll want rollers in his hair next)

Iv had 3 lots of trick or treaters now but haven't answered as last year when i gave one group some sweets they said 'Got any money instead'!! and then came back again a while later pretending they hadnt been to my house already....So this year we havent answered the door to them....but one of the groups started growling through our letterbox and saying we know your in there.....lol.....they eventually left when they got the message we werent answering the door.

Yes, I was right, had two and right in middle of Emmerdale......but they were really lovely lads, with those scream masks on, and we had a chat......if they are all like that it won't be too bad....

You terrible people never thought you not fun person Pat lol I went and bought funsized sweets, apples and tangerines made up bags and now they are all gone loads of kids at my door

i only gave to 2 little ones explained in my thread earlier

I haven't stopped answering my door all evening, though the kids did put their pumpkins outside so they would know to knock. I have just had the teenagers turn up as I was bringing the pumpkins back in and they weren't best impressed with the chocolate but that's tough. LOL. Now the pumpkins are in and the outside light is off that's my lot. Time to settle down. All but one lot were lovely and really polite and I must have had at least 12 groups. xx

I am feeling very left out. sweets all in basket by door and apples if they want them. Had two young girl teenagers early, very polite and dressed up nicely. Since then nothing, usually we get loads round, very quiet and very stange. wont get any little ones now. Ann Glos

Around here, they don't tend to knock unless you put a 'sign' out, like a pumpkin or some other sort of halloween paraphernalia. I never put anything out and haven't had callers for 3 years or so. This year,as she's staying with me, daughter put a pumpkin outside. We had 20 callers - all young, dressed up and with their parents - mainly while daughter was eating her dinner lol. maggie
