Well, I spent last night refusing to respond to the doorbell either. In my case that was to save the kiddies from getting an earful from me on the subject of Halloween. It is not and - despite what the morons at AOL insisted in putting in my events calendar yesterday - never has been a UK celebration. Unless someone moved my town to the USA (perish the thought!) last night, why were they ringing my doorbell?

Anyway, with everything you've had to deal with recently, I'm sure buying sweets for neighbourhood kids was the last thing on your mind. Let the little buggers see it as a life-lesson, is all I can say.
