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!

You had a duty to make sure the christmas goodies were up to scratch. You have gone over and beyond the call of duty. You deserve a chocolate medal!

With me it was a box of Ferro Rocher (luckily a small one). Thank goodness I can go out today or I would be opening the M&S tin of assorted luxury biscuits - I love the chocolate log ones (look like brandy snaps but brown) - correction, I love them all!

We haven't had any snow here (Glasgow) - just four days of glorious sunshine (albeit extremely cold both yesterday and today). Just back from a long walk (12,000+ steps) and feeling very virtuous. Think I deserve a reward!

After all the hard work in the run up to Christmas, we all deserve a little indulgence. I am now up to my eleventh one, with a promise of more to come. Why not , I ask myself.tchsmile

Glad your test results were good. Celebrate by eating whatever you fancy and a glass of good cheer.

I just made the excuse I had to get the bus into town as I'd run out of lentils...Didn't really need to go out in the cold but was eyeing the cheeseboard & vintage port....at noon.

I’m with you tidyskatemum ...chocolate doesn’t do it for me either..or my 5 year old granddaughter... she’s still got a very large Easter egg ...8 months..not bad restraint for a littly!

Oh my goodness what chance do I stand, I am home on Thursday and Ican already taste the chocolate liquors I put away for Christmas I have been chocolate free for 5 weeks due to the heat and I know I will just binge and put back all the weight I have lost

And dark chocolate contains iron so it is good for you too!

Chocolate is good for you - it releases 'happy hormones' so it is therapeutic. Self denial is not good for you whatever people might say; it causes frustration and unhappiness, which then permeates the atmosphere and spoils life for everyone around you. Think of others! Don't be selfish! Eat chocolate and make the world a happier place.

I was given a present last week and told to put it in the fridge until Christmas. It was a pack of 5 cheeses.
Mmmmmm, I enjoyed them. They lasted 3 days.

Oh dear
Thank goodness it’s not just me
Have eaten all the chocolate Santa’s that were prettily adorning my lovely Xmas tree

Need to get out tomorrow to replace before grandchildren arrive .....

apologies for shouting

I would love to indulge but in bed with horrible tummy bug. Have polished off many boxes of chocolates in similar circumstances!
