According to this survey, half of people in the UK will "hide" with a quarter "switching off their lights" to avoid trick or treaters during Halloween night. LOL! Oh dear. I'm very sorry to say that will be me come Wednesday!
Charlie says: I just try and hide from this intruder!
Awwww but please have a great Halloween all of you celebrating it.
Also if you are joining NaNoWriMo (write a novel in 30 days starting 1 Nov, details here) - I wish you all the best!
I won't be blogging come next Monday (Bonfire Night) because.......
I SHALL BE HAVING A DAY OF (James) BOND!! Yes!! I am off to drool over the lovely Daniel Craig in Skyfall! I hope to be shaken AND stirred...
See you all soon, hopefully by 12 November.

No one even goes out trick-or-treating in my neighborhood, so I don't feel bad leaving the light off.
Go drool over your Daniel Craig!
Well, you both deserve lots of treats!
Hehe Gumtree seems to be wondering just what Charlie is up to there. The lights are rarely ever on downstairs so I don't think we need to worry too much about trick or treaters. It's not that we're hiding, it's just that no one goes downstairs.
We'll be in hiding too on Howl-O-Weenie! Too much scary stuff to deal with.
we don't have to hide, we don't have any kids in our neighborhood.
When I did live an area with kids, we gave out candy - and some kids silly stringed out screens and cars.. So I stopped.
Enjoy the movie. Are you going on vacation?
We only get a dozen kids or so...we give out fancy pencils!!
hii Charlie n Gumtree.

have a nice halloween
Okay, call me dense, but I didn't even know you did the whole trick-or-treating thing in the UK! Thought it was just us greedy Americans.;)
I shall be out with my kiddos that night.
Enjoy your vacation! :)
Lol, we turn off the lights and hide too!!!
Gumtree is growing like a weed! Hide Charlie, hide!!!
Oh, Enjoy your James Bond time!
Happy Halloween!
Hi Old Kitty - it can all get a bit silly can't it .. Charlie I see is still adjusting ..
Enjoy the new Bond - I'll be toddling off to the local cinema once half-term is over and I might be able to get a ticket! But have fun - it sounds just great ...
Cheers - Hilary
*swoon* for Daniel Craig. Such a visual treat. Le sigh.
That's so funny so many avoid the halloween fun. But understandable too. We don't hand out candy cuz we take the kids out to beg for it. lol
This year they are a ringwraith and a ballerina. lol
Have a great week!! :D
We laughed at Charlie wishing he could get away from Gumtree - we bet he loves him really and is just making a token grumble about him. Enjoy your 007 day next week.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
You both are so cute!
I'm also fan of Daniel Craig!
Hey...I wish you a very happy Halloween celebration!
purrs and treats for you all
Luna - WE LOVE LUNA
Mmmm, Daniel Craig...Yes, definitely drool. :-)
I, admittedly, also will be one of those with the lights off, hiding on Halloween night. LOL. I used to give out candy quite some years back, but don't do it now, for various reasons.
Have a lovely week!
We hide after 8:00. That's when the uncostumed, snarky teens stop by who don't belong to our neighborhood. Eep!
Enjoy the movie. I'm looking forward to it as is wifey.
Hi Old Kitty,
Have fun with Daniel Craig, nee Bond. And good luck hiding from those trick or treaters. :)
Hugs!
Hiding from trick-or-treaters? Oh no, we welcome them here! :-)
Yeah... we're not allowed near the front door on Hallowe'en night, either. But after the neighbourhood kids have finished with their tricky treatin' we'll be enjoying some treats outselves! FF or a little of the special stuff in the trays, I do believe... purrs
We have people on our street who do that and it makes me mad. We are at the top of the last street in a neighborhood and if they turn off their darned lights, then very few kids come up the street to our house and WE want to see them!!! Slowly, though, the neighborhood is turning over--older people leaving and younger moving in, so I hope this is changing, too.
Haha! Now why doesn't that surprise me... Luckily in central London, we don't get any trick or treaters!
Enjoy Bond.
Hope Charlie keeps you safe on Halloween from all those intruders! And may you be both shaken and stirred by Daniel Craig. Skyfall looks fantastic!
ooh, ooh, tell us all about how well Skyfall was. I do love Daniel***sigh***
It doesn't matter if I turn my lights off, my cousin and sister still bring their kids over! But they're okay, so I guess it's all okay!

LOL! Hope to be shaken and stirred--nice!
And you know I read that "hide with a quarter" the first time through? LOL! So don't forget to have your quarter handy... :D
Poor Charlie. Still hiding from ole Gumtree. Who is TOO CUTE! Have a great holiday~ <3
Hope you enjoy the movie!
Enjoy Skyfall and Bonfire night!
No trick or treaters for you? Oh, Old Kitty, you're missing out on the fun! I suppose that means you're not dressing up either. Well, have a nice home hang out with your lovely kitties.
Hahaha we will be hiding, too! Especially for Niko, he is extremely scared of door bell.
I hope you will enjoy new James Bond movie. We might be going to see, too.
Here's to James Bond! Enjoy!
I'm back from my very restful blogging break just in time to think about costumes and candy. Tell Charlie I might go as a cat this year.
Oh, Jennifer, have a great time with Daniel! Sounds like fun.
And tell Charlie that little "introooder" will eventually settle down to his liking.
Sweet blog! I notimated you with an blogger award on my blog! Click 'here' to check it out! I hope you like it! You may also notimate up to 7 bloggers (or an many as you like). Have a great one!

Ooo! Have fun being shaken!! I hope it's awesome :)
Looks like Charlie's getting used to his new buddy :)
We still have neighborhood kids and I love seeing them and guessing who is who. We've never had a problem with mean pranks. Besides, if I keep all this candy, I'll weigh 200 pounds! ha.
Your kitties are so cute.
I can't wait to see Daniel Craig as Bond again.
I'm not fond of trick or treaters, but I bought candy for them this year.
It's supposed to be near freezing on Halloween night so that will reduce the number of trick or treaters. Last year we had about 60 so I've bought for 100...because I need treats too, lol
Charlie and Gumtree look good together.
Enjoy your Bond movie.
Ooh lucky you! I'm looking forward to that movie - and Daniel Craig ;)
Charlie doesn't look especially pleased with his new roommate.
Good Luck!
I'm with you--and Charlie! I will leave my porch lights out Wednesday evening. The last thing I want is the neighborhood kids at my door....
Not too many kids in our apartment complex, so I'm not worried about it. Hope you have a great James Bond day!
Ooh, do have loads of fun!
For Halloween we always put all our lights on and a sign on the gatepost to say "treat seekers welcome". I love seeing all the local kids in their costumes but we do get through a lot of mini chocolate bars!
We have a lot of mini-trick or treaters, so we always have fun. I hope you get shaken and stirred, too!
Intruder? We thought he's your friend! Have a great week ahead. Purrs!
Charlie, are you having trouble with that new whippersnapper. I bet he has a lot of energy.
Sounds like the Mom is off to have some fun. All of you take care.
Have fun drooling over Bond/Craig!Can't wait to see that movie myself;).
The Halloween spirit isn't with us this year.
But will have some treats just in case.
Charlie your looking as beautiful as ever.
Hope mum has a good night in such great company :-)

MOL!
I know I'll probably be doing that on Halloween, too . . . LOL.
Hope you enjoy your day of Bond. :)
Yay! Bond! Can't wait to see it - I hear it's really good!
No halloweeners for us ....
and Charley are you happily adjusting to your new friend?
purrs

Halloween will be very different this year in NYC because of storm damage, but I hope the children get to celebrate it one way or another. I always had such fun on "trick or treat" as a child as i love candy! ;)
Enjoy the james Bond film--it sounds really good!
Hi Old Kitty,
Since I moved back to England, I have never had any trick or treaters visit my house. That's a shame. Still, the good news is all the treats I had for the little visitors are mine, I tell you, all mine!
Can you keep this a secret? Yes, I have been asked to take on the role of James Bond in an upcoming movie. Gosh! :)
Take care, y'all
x
Have a fine time We will turn off our lights for the first time ever. Just no time to get ready with Sandy arriving!
Yay for Bond and Istanbul!
I don't think we're giving out candy this year - all that doorbell ringing confuses the kitties :-)
I don't think we'll be giving out candy this Halloween but I'm ok with that.
More for me.
We'll be darkened, too..
Hope our friends to the south can still celebrate Halloween without too many more scares!
Hugs,
Tom
I will be teaching tonight. No treats. All tricks. Maybe I will get candy for myself and then go ring my own doorbell. What do you think?
Daniel Craig is VERY drool worthy my mom says.
Mom said she has never cared about Halloween since she was in the single digit age group. She always has her lights off and never encourages Trick or Treaters. She had to when her own three sons were small and insisted on going about but since they are grown, mom said "no."
enjoy Bond!
No Halloweeners called around :(
Enjoy Skyfall!
I miss Bonfire Night. It was the best.
I wonder what my husband would say if I told him I want to be shaken and stirred. lol
We don't hide, but we get very few trick-or-treaters. That means lots of leftover chocolate! : )
"I hope to be shaken AND stirred..." Too funny!!!
We don't actually have Halloween here, only at the restaurant~~~
But, I wish you have a great day.
We had decorations outside but Teri didn't bring the human sized lite up cat in a pumpkin down from the attic cuz of the storm...and then she ran errands til 8pm and missed all the Trick or Treaters...
We at least a hundred kids trick or treating. My husband really enjoys seeing all the little ones in costumes. So I got to kick back and let him do all the door running. :)
Does Charlies have a new brother???
lol! I thought of doing that this year, because last year was the first year the kids in my street dressed up and went door knocking. I was prepared then but I wasn't prepared this year... but it turns out none came anyway. Maybe they knew... ;)
Fruit candies are good. :)
We don't answer the door to them either. Not a very nice neighbourhood where we live.
Enjoy James Bond!
We didn't celebrate Halloween at all. Well, not yet anyway! We don't do the trick or treat thing on the day of Halloween for some reason so we have time to buy candy on the cheap (it all goes for 1/2 price after the big day) and an outfit for me just in time for Saturday's trick or treating! Yeah!
XOXO....Daisy
We had a good Halloween cause not many people came too the door. My humans would have liked to see more, though.
"Hope to be shaken and stirred" LOL--
I'm looking forward to this one too! Can't wait, love the new Bond with Daniel Craig. He's amazing.
The kitties are perplexed by the idea of Hallowe'en.
"I owe you an unpleasant catnip treat, Mr. Bond... I mean, Mr. Charlie..."
We celebrate Hallowe'en because I lived in Canada for half my life. I completely understand those that don't 'get it' though and everyone should be able to choose to hide in their homes whenever they wish.
yep. That's us too..if we aren't in the 'count'.. we should be! Love Helen, Mr Darcy and Mr Bingley xxx
Me want candy corm. :)
your lucky to get to see the new movie...greeeeeen with envy
new follower -hi!
LOL! Yes hubby's not keen on trick or treating!
Charlie and Gumtree look like they are two little treats.
