    There hasn't been any trick or treaters here yet, and I don't think I've got the receipt to take the sweets back.

    Dad used to joke that he'd dip sprouts in chocolate and wrap them in gold paper to hand out and pretend they were ferrero rocher, he never got the guts to try it though. Not sure if that'd be worse than onions!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    none here yet, it's normally just the neighbours grandchildren and then perhaps 1 other group of children dressed up. I live on a road of nearly all retired couples so there aren't many children around here. (thankfully!!)

    Has anyone seen any good offers on boxes of chocolates? Asda have some 2 for £6, is there anything to beat that anywhere? I need to get a couple of boxes to say thanks to my neighbours for doing my garden. Or if anyone can come up with any other suggestions, there's a woman in her late 70s or a middle aged bloke.

    Morrisons have 'Doultons Luxury Assorted Chocolates' on offer at the moment, £1.14 for a 180g box - I bought one for a relative I don't really like, but can't get away with not buying them anything for Christmas! :rolleyes:

    Hello tricksters and treaters! :hello:

    Don't worry Snags about hiding from the trick or treaters 'cause you haven't bought any sweets. I'm doing exactly the same thing. ;)

    You mean you haven't bought any ex-lax chocolates?
