    By half past 5 (yea I was counting) I'd had 72. And stopped counting.

    By half past 6 I must have had another 100+

    At half past 6 I locked my door and we buggered off to Macdonald's out of the way.

    I'm all for kids doing this, but I'm not all for people coming from different villages (driven by their parents) just for our estate.

    So, I've finally had enough. Next year I won't be in

    Could you just give out what you have and then remove decorations to signal you’re done?

    I've thought about that to be fair, but I'm guessing I'm not alone. Because what was once like walking around a fairground on our estate, maybe 3 or 4 houses made an effort today, including mine. But it was still like meadowhall at Xmas. So a lack of decorations isn't deterring anyone.

    What I did notice was many neighbours "checking in" to various places on Facebook, so clearly they are feeling a bit like it too these days.

    Shame really, because what was once a decent spectacle, has just got silly

    Our pot of sweet bags was empty by the time I went out at about 7.15.
