I've barely had a chance to sit down.

the chocolate eyeballs went down very well in sydenham hill too. frenzied cry of "she's got chocolate eyeballs!" went around the first little gang of small ghouls.

as I have just been complaining about on the NEw Parents thread.. we carved and lit a pumpkin in our window. Bought a big box of sweets. Got dressed up to received trick or treaters - and no one came. Have put the kids to bed now. What a shame. I think our road is just a bit busy for it. They'll probably all be on quieter roads, which is quite sensible really.

without sounding like a stalker - I have a pretty good idea of where you live from what you've said and know a large number of young families that way... we v. nearly moved there ourselves. Lovely for all those families and I'm still a bit sad we didn't.
Remember the dead (known and unknown), the ancestors, absent friends, and every person who's ever touched my life. Usually also trance work, which is off the menu this year, and a bit of divination.
Also make my birthday cake. And treat it a bit like New Year's Eve - a time to think about what you want to get rid of or leave behind.

I'll happily give up the Villaaaage. I laugh it because it's really very good for what it does. But leave us Market Row?!?! Shops not bars!

Half of Market Row's shops have already gone, and most of the rest will soon follow. Bars and big money brands usually follow where vintage clothes stores, cheese shops, selected wine merchants and multi-national frozen yoghurt franchises go.

oooh, my very own stalker
Highlight of the evening is two small boys running back down the road towards their parents going 'mum, mum, the lady gave us eyeballs'

There were a couple of grabbers but most were careful to only take a couple of sweets, and they were pretty polite on the whole.We have had LOADS... cute small kids all gone to bed now, but tweens still coming. We have pumpkins in our front window, and sweets mixed with eyeballs

we had children asking us how many sweets they could take, and everyone said thankyou. V impressed (god, I sound like my gran, going on about manners...)
Also impressive- loads of the escorting parents were dressed up too! I answered the door to a full size werewolf, which gave me a bit of a shock till I saw the mini vampire and witch hiding behind his(her?) legs

Haha! We ran into a parent in a gorilla suit - wonder if it was the same guy? I really love going out trick or treating with our boys - we always see loads of their classmates and other parents out and about, and there's always a nice, friendly atmosphere. But I do think it was much more quieter this year than previous years. There were fewer kids out and fewer houses with pumpkins outside too. But then I think a lot of people are away for half term, so that's had an affect.

Life is a horizontal fall.
We didn't get any cause the concierge put a notice saying " No trick or treaters. We will not open the door. Have a lovely evening" Miserable buggers.
