Two little penguins

Oh, those packets freshly baked by M&S!

newly baked mince pies
What are they?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
I need to go for an hour's run.

Doodle comfort yourself with reminiscing about Energen Rolls 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 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 ?

Thanks kitty yum, white chocolate are they?

Plain chocolate Hobnobs for me, but can't get them here. I have to settle for a pain au chocolat, life's a bitch

They're lovely kittylester last much longer and don't contain any calories[tchsgrin].

Here you go!

But lemongrove it hasn't stopped chucking it down here all day.

Haven’t had a penguin for years .

Tunnocks caramel wafers for me or, drool, chunky Kitcats straight from the fridge. Twix are pretty good too now you mention it though...

It goes without saying that these lovely traditional treats, for example, penguins, just aren’t as generous as they used to be which just makes us end up eating more than one, which is not a good thing. As my husband says - you no longer have to ‘grin to get a waggon wheel in!’ (Anyone remember the advert for Waggon Wheels!). I would rather pay a bit more and buy just one glorious treat like they used to be.

Then get your coat on again Gonegirl....you can’t let another evening go by without eating one or two surely??

Am partial to a Twix Callistemon when needing a sugar fix,
And in the absence of Penguins, it does the job.

Sod! I forgot to buy some.

It's just Not Fair!!
