Specially yours I should think when you found out you had one and hadn't realized

Right back to Most Haunted, they've just hung Karl Beattie, and now someones letting fireworks off and upsetting me dog

Have to confess I DID have a few curly perms in the 80s though Tricia LOLOLOL

You've met me and I'm sure you'll vouch for the fact that my hair is poker straight !!!!!!! I'm liking the whole perm and bling thing though......it's good fun x

Muffy you're not nowhere old enough to have had a curly perm..... me on the other hand--am and did!
Ay Tell you what it was flipping easy to do in a morning... LOL

Yeah my invisible perm raises eyebrows all over the place Beejay LOL xx

Oh no Muffy, you must have disappointed an awful lot of people, I did hear your perm was the talk of the town lol

Naaaaaaaaaah Beejay me bling and curly perm stayed at home opening the door to the other kids lol

OH took them out LOLOLOL xx

Year before last we had loads of kids round and I ran out of sweets.
Last year I was more prepared and the only kids we had round was my brother and his 3 girls.. even he had a mask on.. or was that just his face? he he..
Sadly this year my Mams in hospital so don't know if any kids came round.
There are NO kids living on this estate any more.. we've all been here so long all of them have flown the nests!
I quite like it and look forward to it nowadays..Halloween thet is..

Muffy you've worried me now, did your girls have to go out with you and your perm and oversized bling?

All the knocks here occured between half six and half seven.

NONE of them were impolite.

NONE of them were unaccompanied.

ALL of them were dressed up and thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Had one batch of 3 teenagers at about half seven. They got 2 fun sized mars bars each same as the little ones and they were as good as gold.

As i said before..........when my girls were out they had people ASKING them to knock at their house as they had loads of sweets they wanted to give away and kids round here will NOT knock unless there are definate signs they want to be disturbed xx

The bad parent isn't you Elaine you are a FUN parent having some FUN and laughter with your kids..
The Bad Parent is the one who doesn't let them do like the other kids who are having fun...
By Heck we need a bit of fun at the moment...

I have only ever taken my 2 out twice in their lives to trick or treat, once when they were 3 & 10 months old, & the other time tonight they are now 12 & 9

& boy did we have fun tonight

we had about 30 kids groups
and i enjoyed every moment
the costumes where really good and they were so cute

Quite disappointing here, we had one group of five mixed ages early on, only 3 of them dressed up, they had sweets. Then later on (we have a security camera that shows on the TV) we had two teenagers, we were eating our meal so didn't go to the door. Then we have had no more at all.

ROFLMAO @ Mildred...Sorry!!!!!!!!!

I've had half a doz knocks when ive been in today, been out a lot, but every knock has been chaperoned and very well behaved kids, I bought three bags of sweets and have two unopened in the kitchen.

Each knock has had at least three kids looking fab and very bell behaved.

You know what? I dont' agree with this Americanised Halloween at all. Not for any religious reason. It is All Hallows Eve, which the Christian church placed at the same point in the calendar as the old Pagan festivel of a similar nature. I have nothing against the Christian or Pagan festivities.

But this isn't is it. It is a huge commercial venture which is paying off for industry, with all sorts of businesses and supermarkets especially cashing in on it all.

I don't think anyone is a bad parent just because they take their kids trick or treating, nor do I think it's begging. Funny how Mel has nothing to say against the old practise of 'penny for the guy'...which isnt' done any more granted...because trick or treat has taken over.

What I do see as a bad parent, is one who claims to teach her kids values, but doesn't instill them into them, instead letting them take their 'own' view....but then can't live by them herself. She is certainly not leading by example. Don't do as I do, do as I say, is not the way to go.

Was ?

I wonder how Mel would treat her children if they rebel and turn into tree worshipping new age people or confirmed atheists.

Take no bloody notice she was a raving lunatic tonight!

I just thought it a bit much for someone who is such a disgrace to her own values, to be coming out with all that old carp attacking other parents ...........which isnt christian at all.

If you'd seen the two little girls from next door - one a fairy the other a ballerina with their mum. Just gorgeous with the most wonderful manners. Evil? I don't think so.
