Halloween


I have a big cake tin full of fun-sized sweets and chocolate bars.  I carved three pumpkins and they form a spooky pathway up to the door.  I've been ready and listening out for the door since about 5pm.  

I have heard nothing.

Not a sausage.

The scariest thing to appear at my door today was the moustachioed gas man. 

I'm a bit disappointed. 

Happy Halloween.

  4. Maybe your pumpkins were too scary ;) only joking, I don't think anything would scare kids off if it involved free sweets haha.

    We had two groups of kids, rather rude ones to be honest, my mum almost ran after them because some of them didn't say thank you!

    Never mind, at least you can eat all the remaining sweets which I have only just noticed I am also doing..

    Happy Halloween.

  5. Only two little children came to our door and that's only because I told their parents I was looking forward to them trick or treating this year. I told my Mr off yesterday for trying to eat the sweeties I had got for trick or treaters and now I'm scoffing them he he.

  8. Oh that's a shame - you could have happily had some of our callers! We had about 60 little bags of sweeties and they all went by 7pm! We put up a sign saying 'sorry, no more treats left'.
