Tightwads

Me too
We have quite a long front garden with a high hedge on one side and no exterior light, so it's very dark. We close all the curtains and blinds and leave the lights off at the front of the house.
It's not (just) that I'm tight, but I'm of the generation that objects to Trick or Treating on cultural grounds. Why can't the kids just enjoy a good old conker tournament then move on to penny for the guy? Oh yes, it's because the supermarkets can't make any money out of those. Silly me.
