    I must admit we have only had one child knock at the door this year.

    uWe've only had 2 knocks - the first was a pair of young !!!!!s, the second was an even younger witch.

    I now have a large bowl of leftover sweets. Oh well. ;)

    Only one child knocked here and she ran away screaming

    Feel like I wasted £49.99 on my Jimmy Savile costume now.

    We had 3 lots earlier in the space of about 15 minutes so I have now put a handwritten note on the door asking them politely not to knock.

    Well it has been mild!!

    Ironically had my first ever children at the door today, nothing here for them though so hopefully they won't be back next year.

    We had two knocks, one of those was pre arranged family.

    Went for a walk to the shops at about 7 o'clock, 1 mile each way, busy residential area and only saw three sets to trick and treaters.
