I've been in all day because of the snow, I'm on the sofa and now I've eaten all the milk chocolate brandy snaps from the M & S box I bought for Christmas. The next layer down are the plain chocolate ones....
Help!

Carry on you have good reason togrin

Luckygirl Sun 10-Dec-17 17:48:07

No, no! - do not do this thing!

Leap from the sofa and clean some toilets!

Greyduster Sun 10-Dec-17 17:56:03

Go on! Be a ?!

Eglantine21 Sun 10-Dec-17 18:01:18

I've cleaned the toilet. It didn't take long.......

We haven’t got snow but driving rain high winds and freezing cold I ve been in all day and it’s sending me scatty I can’t do anything as the house is so cold so confined to two rooms basically feeling very bah humbuggy

Ooh they sound yummy - perhaps you should just send them to me - then you couldn't be tempted grin

If they are gf I deserve them! I've worked really hard this weekend - well, I've eventually written the cards! I've left 3 for dh to do - he's gone for a lie down!! See I told you I deserve then!

Just ask yourself - am I worth this? Then reply - yes I am.

Sorted ?

What about my hips? Ballooning as I post.
I'm knitting now to keep my hands busy but the whole evening stretches before me......

I've eaten, in one afternoon, a whole box of dark chocolate & black cherry marzipan. They were meant to be part of a Christmas gift too. I am ashamed. grin

Greyduster Sun 10-Dec-17 18:48:04

I could just about live with that kind of shame, Chew! grin.

Artyfarty Sun 10-Dec-17 18:48:19

It was snowing, zero degrees, far too cold to go out. Decided to wrap some Christmas presents. There is this box of salted caramel chockies which is surely excess to requirements. Oh dear, what can I say! blush

Chewbacca Sun 10-Dec-17 18:52:59

But you'd be doing the intended recipient of the salted caramel chocolates a disservice if you didn't test them first Artyfarty! Imagine how upset you be if you were to give those chocolates away without being able to attest to how good they are. Think of it as "product research"! tchwink

Squiffy Sun 10-Dec-17 18:55:23

Ooh Chewbacca where did you buy them from? They sound divine and I really need some!

Jane10 Sun 10-Dec-17 18:57:07

Black cherry marzipan, chocolate brandy snaps, salted caramels, ooooo, just ooooo!

Chewbacca Sun 10-Dec-17 19:07:43

Squiffy they were from Lidl. A substantial box for £1.49. Really thick wodge of marzipan with a thick layer of black cherry sauce, encased in dark chocolate. They did them with orange, rum or black cherry.

Mine were supposed to go in a food hamper I'm preparing but, as they've now been eaten, I'll just have to go all the way back to Lidl and buy some more oh drat!

Squiffy Sun 10-Dec-17 19:33:22

Chew Thanks for the info. We don’t have a Lidl near us, so I’ll see who I can coerce/beg to buy some for me. I have been very nice to DD & DS this year ..... tchgrin

Jalima1108 Sun 10-Dec-17 19:58:58

No - I have wrapped up some very nice posh chocolate today, there was a spare block and I nearly succumbed. But you never know who may give you an unexpected present.

I still keep thinking about it though hmm

Jalima1108 Sun 10-Dec-17 20:00:15

I could buy some for a friend - she doesn't like marzipan so I would have to eat them myself
[thinks] hmm

sunseeker Sun 10-Dec-17 20:09:37

Really what are you worried about - chocolate is made from beans, beans are vegetables so you are having one of your five a day - you are being healthy!

tidyskatemum Sun 10-Dec-17 20:56:40

I must be weird. Not tempted by chocolate at all, though I'll eat one if offered. DH always moans that he buys me Easter eggs that I then take weeks to eat.

lemongrove Sun 10-Dec-17 21:10:35

Artyfarty....am very upset, you promised me those salted caramel chocs and a book for Christmas....now I will only get the book! Yes, it’s me! You are sussed! tchgrin

Willow500 Sun 10-Dec-17 21:26:44

I've not been too well for the last few days so not eaten a lot but sat this afternoon/evening and watched the last two Planet of the Apes films and in that time ate half a scotch egg, half a tuna sandwich, an orange ice lolly, sausage, mash, peas and gravy and a Fry's mint cream bar! Not all at the same time I might add!

callgirl1 Sun 10-Dec-17 21:53:11

Who ate the other halves of the scotch egg and tuna sandwich?
