A bit early I know, but with the announcement of the Pumpkin carving competition Halloween is quite clearly rapidly approaching.

So a little warning to all witches out there..... Don't drink and fly

[Mrs Frugal]

Like it!!

[The Dogmother]

I was sent a halloween pic (wasn't I Kate?) but it's too rude to post here - suffice to say that it's of a pumpkin painted on a large lady's botty

[Cate in NZ]

I got sent some pumpkin pics too..... not really rude at all, well, not much, but I hesitated about posting them on the forum- just in case someone found them offensive

[The Dogmother]

Oooo, send them to me please Kate......

[Cate in NZ]

Will do Clare... watch for a PM, but they are very tame after that build up

[The Dogmother]

Thanks Kate. I had some funny ones last year of bonking pumpkins

[Louise]

I got sent the bottom one by someone as well

Yes..I thought I'd thrown that one away but someone managed to get hold of it I see

 

On the same theme..here's something I did earlier while I had a few spare mins....

Sorry to be a misery guts, but this trick or treating business is a pain in the proverbial.

 

Its not even culturally British.

 

Don't mind carved pumpkins and a few witches and warlocks. I have a mad and delightful friend who is a white witch and life wouldn't be the same without her, but drunken adolescents with dracula teeth and green hair knocking on your door at 11.45 pm (as happened to us last year) just doesn't do it for me.

I have a rule never to answer the door on halloween night - they don't enter into the spirit round here - unless you give them money, they play nasty tricks like letting your car tyres down or emptying your dustbin They don't appreciate homemade cookies or stuff like that.

Thanks Clare that was a good email, sorry I didn't reply!

[Happy-Mama]

That's awful, where I used to live the children were always polite and never came round after 9pm on Halloween. I'm hoping it's the same where I am now...

Martin I'd be careful what you look at in school on their computers. Only saying this as your school probably does what ours does and moniters what you use the computers for. It's all recorded-your every move.

[Mrs Frugal]

That's true Liz. My boys say that their school monitors everything they look at too!

That is I am always ready with a bowl of sweets just in case but got "Ooops, word censored!"ody last year

[Guest]

Yeah, we had several sullen teenagers who left in disgust, empty handed, when I refused to get my purse out, and had the cheek to offer sweets instead last year. Cheeky......

[Cate in NZ]

I've heard tales of demanding teenagers before, and now that my 2 are teens I won't let them trick or treat any more, but I do let them have a few friends round for pizzas, dvds and chocolate fountain on Halloween, although that'll have to be reviewed this year since they'll be back at school on the 31st .

Generally though we only have the youngsters knocking on the door and they're always (so far at any rate) happy with sweets. Mind, that might be because I have most of the local teenagers locked up in our house

My friend sent me that one too - v funny!!

[Martin B]

Just logged on for the first time since school. The image is very funny!

Last year my son made a big sign to go on the front door. It said that only primary school kids could knockbut they would be welcome. On the reverse we wrote something like 'Sorry - run out of goodies - try again a little earlier next year! It worked BRILLIANTLY and we had no teenagers and noone knocking once we'd turned it round. Although, we did hear them reading the sign out loud!
