    No kids yet but there's a gigantic bonfire down the road that's wrecking my head. People are throwing the contents of their wheelie bins into it and it smells rank.

    I give them little bags of vegetables.

    in each hand I have a card, one says trick, the other treat, pick one but I wont tell you which one you have picked
    pick a treat and something nice will happen to you, pick treat and it wont be..

    I don't think I will have any kids calling, i did buy stuff just in case. we had no one last year.

    I'm in a fairly rural area. Ten of them just arrived into my driveway in a minibus.

    Trick or treating at a new level of efficiency!

    That means you must be the local mad oul bint that has 40 cats.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭ElleEm


    I was about to start the exact same thread.

    I will be ignoring them altogether. Can't be dealing with telling stranger's kids they look cute/ scary, giving them sweets, etc. And also- they're MY sweets!

    They always knock if you don't buy any sweets, we had none fo 3 years so we bought none last year. Of course, we get about 20 kids. had to cobble something together with a packet of cookies and my maltesers :(

    Not into witchcraft and all that. But I suppose it is good for the kids to enjoy themselves.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,389 ✭✭✭mattjack


    none, since I connected the gates to the fuse board


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    I stopped doing it after this one very tall kid kept calling to the door, asking for tree fiddy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,555 ✭✭✭Gillington

    That has happened to me in the past. I usually have something just in case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭AG2R


    A kick to the jaw if they knock on this door, also wham bars and twixs :L


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 443 ✭✭Colilfc


    The less people that call, the more sweets for me.

    Treats all round in this house,Herself goes mad with the seasons.Has dozens of goody bags made up.
    I did do a trick many years where I covered an egg in chocolate and wrapped it up in a kinder wrapping, handed it out to this little nuisance but i've been guilt ridden ever since.
    Ah the sound of joy in his voice when he shouted " I got a Kinder " to his little mates.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,331 ✭✭✭RichieC
