Just that really...?made a cuppa and felt peckish so picked up a penguin, and then another!
It’s this time of night, and they’re very more-ish ( felt justified in having two as they are much smaller than they used to be)
I, on the other hand, am much larger than I used to be.

Oh Jane how could you! Here I am on a diet and you remind me of those delicious caramel wafers. I could eat a whole packet right now ?

Doodle comfort yourself with reminiscing about Energen Rolls grin remember them?

I was trying to explain to someone just the other day exactly what they were like. They defy description really, 'inflated horse doo-doo' comes nearest.

And I've only just realised that I, and most GN UK have known at least 2 Maori words since the 50s and 60s.

Does anyone recall seeing cinema ads for an orange juice?
"Don't forget the Kia ora, Aurora!" ?

Kia ora has several meanings but this one indicates 'good health' - and was used by an Australian entreprenteur who marketed fruit drinks.

Oh dear, H has gone out so I had an orange. Very healthy.

(He's not DH at the moment).

That reminded me that someone gave me a bag of Lindor orange truffles yesterday so I had a couple.

They're very small so I had a few more
Oh dear - 616 calories shock
I need to go for an hour's run.

Yes, I just learnt Kia Ora on my recent visit, BradfordLass

I have just come across the Choco Peanut bars in Lidl. So moreish and only 59 p for six . Bargain !

Hmm, they might need to be investigated Greenfinch, nuts, chocolate and biscuit; what's not to like?

I'm quite fond of Aldi Disco bars. Chocolate with smarties on the top. Obviously I buy them for the GC but I had to do a quality test first, didn't I?

I remember biting all the chocolate off Club biscuits. The biscuit inside wasn't as interesting.

Oh poor H Callistemon.......was he a very naughty boy??

Callistemon Fri 13-Dec-19 23:29:49

Yes. Not poor H at all, verh grumpy.
But he's been a bit better today so DH again.

I am obsessed with Thorntons brazil nut toffee but fear for my fillings made me give it up a year ago.sad
A penguin now and then is a substitute (Snickers are too hard to eat!)

Oh dear, he didn’t eat all the newly baked mince pies again?

Callistemon Sat 14-Dec-19 13:17:53
