If I just opened one parcel......I can see that one may well be toffees and I’d really really like one now?

janeainsworth Mon 21-Dec-20 19:06:15

No!! You have to save them for Christmas Day grin

midgey Mon 21-Dec-20 19:06:44

Oh but!......please!

janeainsworth Mon 21-Dec-20 19:09:01

Absolutely not! Where's your self-control?? grin

ginny Mon 21-Dec-20 19:10:55

No peeping or you’ll be in the naughty list.

Blossoming Mon 21-Dec-20 19:11:31

Be strong! It’s a slippery slope once you open one ...

25Avalon Mon 21-Dec-20 19:22:25

No cheating!

Chewbacca Mon 21-Dec-20 19:23:47

I vote you do it midgey. Then, if you don't like them, wrap them back up and pass them onto someone else and go and buy yourself some that you do like. You wouldn't want all that anticipation and then find out on Christmas morning that you've got toffees you don't like do you? And with no shops open, you'd be unable to replace them. Do it now!

Do it ! Delayed gratification vastly overrated!! ??

MissAdventure Mon 21-Dec-20 19:46:15

Urmstongran Mon 21-Dec-20 19:54:15

I’m surrounded by such norty people.

I once raided my sons selection box.......

MissAdventure Mon 21-Dec-20 19:58:11

Go..
Do it..
You deserve it..
You can buy more and nobody will even know....

Urmstongran Mon 21-Dec-20 20:21:36

You’ll know.
And after you’ve done it will be disappointed in yourself weakling.

MissAdventure Mon 21-Dec-20 20:25:28

You're your own person, with your own mind.
You don't need to be dictated to about what you can eat.................................................................

Go on..........

Just one.....................

One little perfect fudge.......

SuzannahM Mon 21-Dec-20 20:31:10

MissAdventure Mon 21-Dec-20 20:34:00

MissAdventure Mon 21-Dec-20 20:50:31

Oh! Sneaky, Merlot.
I shall have to up my game.

Saying that, where is midgey (sitting under the Christmas tree with fudge all over her face?)

Chewbacca Mon 21-Dec-20 20:50:46

At the beginning of December I bought (and hid them away in a place that only I knew about)

One large box of dark chocolate after dinner mint selection
1 box of chocolate honeycomb
1 box of dark chocolate violet creams
1 more box of chocolate honeycomb
I box of Lindt chocolate balls (mixed flavours)
I more box of chocolate honeycomb

And someone has eaten the lot! shock

I live alone
