More likely to become obese?

sunseeker I didn't mind Grandparents treating them but not with regular sweets.

Very simple inexpensive toys or game and novelties and yet more Berol felt tip pens. Best buy yet for baby DGS was a set of yellow plastic ducks from Dunelm at £2. One big mummy Duck and three duckings. Its a winner with him.

jings, . And don't even mention cream and/or ice-cream with strawberries

I always have raw carrot sticks ready as a pre-lunch snack when my grandsons come - but there's always dessert and cake for afters too!!

Carrot sticks and hummus or soft cheese - toddlers love dipping food like that.

Mine like Freddos too. I like Freddos.

There's this new one out - caramel Freddo! Mmmmmm

Don't worry. I only see them once a fortnight.

The kids that is. Not Freddos.

I lived in Brussels for a year and did not eat one Belgian chocolate. I don't like biscuits or cakes either. I was born in 1940 and sweets were rationed until February, 1952 (or was it 1953) so I got very few in my childhood.
One of my gds loved pickled onions when she was a child, ,and they all like cucumber slices and carrot sticks. I suppose it might help if we made healthy foods sound like treats!

Can I have yours then, Greatnan? Can't leave Belgian chocolates going uneaten!

They would be a bit stale by now, When, as I worked in Brussels in 1989! However, the supermarket here is full of Swiss chocolate - will that do?
I do like one kind I get in NZ - it has burnt almonds in it.

I must admit I do tend to the GC , little sweet treats , and Grandad has a sweetie jar by the bedside so that when they come in, in the morning at 6.30 EEK , they always have a couple.

This is with the permission of DD though , we take the attitude when they at ours rules can be relaxed.
