In the interest of market research.....

You certainly are Chewy and in fact perhaps you could also investigate other supermarkets and their Christmas goods on our behalf? It may save us making expensive mistakes on the food front.
Of course, you may put on a few stone in weight as a result, but it will be so worth it!

Thank you for your dedication to gransnetters waistlines Chewbacca ?????

Thanks for that Chewy but I'm not a soft centre person so, in fairness to those like me, please go back and find some nice nutty and praline ones and give them a testing. Thanks for doing this on behalf of the rest of us.

I feel eternally grateful to you for that act of true selflessness.

Please check if they have the cherries in liqueur again this year and road test those for me.
I would hate to be disappointed.
Also the chocolate covered stollen bites.
And the Sloe gin and the.....
Oh I might as well send you a list?

I feel it is unfair for you to be doing this on your own - I am putting myself forward as an assistant. Just give me a list and I will try everything and report back to you - I am happy for you to be in charge!!

Oh I loves roses Chewy, roses the flowers, Joe Malone RedRoses , Roses chocolates, but I've never tried rose creams. If you could just find time in your busy schedule to go back and purchase some for me, I would be eternally grateful.

Marydoll rose creams are absolutely lovely. Sadly , as I was diabetic I can't have them. But I give my box to you. Enjoy them ???

Thank you! . I'm off to Aldi! I too will be looking for cherry liqueurs, DH's favourite.

So kind of you to volunteer DanniRae, I'm definitely going to need an assistant if I'm to avoid hyperglycemic shock. And yes, annsixty they did indeed have cherries in liqueur. And those lovely mixed nut Florentines. I'm dreading the dark chocolate marzipan coming in because that will be my undoing.....

I am like Nonnie I do not like soft centres but you are doing a sterling job on our behalf.

See you there tomorrow. This research is obviously an onerous task on which I am only too willing to sacrifice my waistline...what waistline?

Violet creams - my favourite! Love them. My Christmas treat (along with After eights, Paynes chocolate brazils, strawberry and orange creams from the Roses/Quality street tins, and The Purple one) Yum

A new Lidl opened locally recently and they've been giving welcome gifts which included the praline chocolate seashells.....we somehow managed to spend enough to get 3 boxes which have managed to disappear before being put into the Christmas cupboard!!
Our next consumer test will be on the Baileys-a-likes!!

Thanks Chewbacca, very altruistic of you!

Please could you buy a couple of boxes for me and hide them until Christmas? I must lose some weight …..
and chocolate brazils if you see any ...

I feel a meet up in Aldi coming on , tomorrow is good for me

what's in the middle aisles Nana3?

that's because I can't be seen buying chocolate

I havent been to aldi for a while so i will have to go soon. I adore soft centres

Please dan I apply to join the market reasearch team. My speciality is any kind of chocolate in any form.

Your teeth are going to rot!

Jalima The middle aisle this week was bedding, charcoal toothpaste and decorating equipment. And the freezers were being filled with "festive party foods" and 3 Bird Roasts!

I prefer Lidl, their Cava at under £5 a bottle is much better than Aldi.

PS Good to see you back, Charleygirl!

I've got about five bags in the boot ready for the research expedition!
