Trick or treat - Sunday or Monday??


Recommended Posts

If any little ones cannot eat chocolates or sweets but would like to participate in trick and treat if you private message me the little ones details i.e. age etc, we can get a little toy or another option available for them. I can private message you our address so you can come by on the night and collect the little goodies.

That's very sweet EDAus! Have you heard of the Teal Pumpkin project? By having a teal pumpkin outside (even a print out) it shows parents that your home has "treats" other than sweets etc incase any children have allergies. We'll be up and down CPR with our 3.5 year old - it will be her first time! Not sure who's more excited - ha!

Thanks Melph91 I had no idea will print one off. I have a small stock of things just in case.


My nephew has ADHD which is made worse by sugar so we have always provided alternatives. Plus a friends little girl has sensory issues so we often do things earlier or later when things are calmer for her. I just want to everyone to have fun!

We've been out to admire the decorations. Some fantastic ones at the big houses on Marmora road. It's like being in America where Halloween is a big deal. There's some houses near the shops on lower Forest Hill Road and Colton. only 1 we could see on Dovedale. If anyone has spotted some good ones, let us know so we can make sure to have a look.

    • Can anyone help / offer advice, please? I just sold a fairly rare and quite valuable vintage knitting machine and accessories to a business as a private sale to a business. It's run a couple who specialise in repairing and reselling secondhand knitting machine parts. I tested the machine and accessory prior to selling and both were working. The business has just texted me with a fairly aggressive message to say 'it can't be working as part of it is missing' and that the pattern reading accessory does not work. I know that both parts were working when I handed them over, so it is just their word against mine. (I haven't replied to ask what part is missing yet) When they arrived to pick up, the owner said he needed to do 'due diligence' ie to open the case of the machine and check it was all there. He did all that and did not mention anything was missing at that point. They paid by bank transfer on pickup. Unfortunately for me, I got them to pay into my business ac (even though I no longer run a business and am retired, I still have the account) and now they say because they paid to a business ac they can dispute the payment. I did get them to sign a delivery note with a list of items that they were buying  but I did not specify 'bought as seen' on the note. How does it work when it's one person's word against another? I originally found the business online and emailed them with the details and photos. They had good reviews for selling items (but no reviews re: buying items) The owner always replied by phone rather than email so although I have notes of our conversations I do not have anything in writing from him. I'm feeling angry at having trusted them and also upset - textile design was my career before I retired and I wish I'd just given the machine to a charity now1 Any helpful advice much appreciated!  
    • There are several threads on here about door to door sellers with similar false stories, but I don't know what the thread headings were or how to find them. Someone else may have a better memory! No idea who to contact, possibly the police non urgent number, can't remember what it is, sorry.
    • My objection is that it is an Americanism. Spoken id prefer Mon to Thurs. In writing Mon - Thurs.  
    • Couple of likely lads knocking doors earlier this evening, claiming to be from ‘rehabilitation project’ and trying to sell cleaning kit to raise money to get into a hostel. Not really putting much effort into trying to hide that they casing local houses around the library area.  So be it, be aware. But my question is what to do in such circumstances. Should I contact police - who? how? - or the council or something? Would appreciate advice.
