Would it be okay?

Mmmmmmm.....,

OH did the food shop today, when he got home he found a box of choc ices had hidden in the basket. We decided to dispose of the evidence.

Oooh treacle toffees!

Right.....I didn’t do it on Monday so I’ll do it right now! Thanks everyone! ?? oh I just finished/tidied up the Bristol Cream?

We had bought all out chocolate treats on the basis that there was going to be 6 of us for 2 days.........but now only 3 of us for 2 days and I hadn't even thought of starting on them before Christmas until I read this very naughty thread. So I suggest that GNHQ delete it as soon as possible before other GNetters are lead astray

Get behind me all you naughty little piggies.
I have been so ? . All Christmas goodies are upstairs. Now I can hear them calling. Well.... it’s only a few days...I might just...

Look on it as quality control. You wouldn't want to open your long anticipated boxes of treats on the big day and then find they'd gone off would you? Get them opened!

I have 2 packs of M & S cheese straws and some of their very chocolately biscuits. Had them over a month Still on the top shelf of the pantry, but they are calling to me. Not sure how much longer I can resist. Once they are opened, they won't last long.

We bought a long tin of After Eights - I like the box and it will come in useful for pencils etc. I took the sealing sellotape off expecting to see a neat long line of the paper packets of mint chocs which could be fanned out if a few were missing. Inside the tin are 2 boxes sealed in polythene, I couldn’t be bothered and it would look like real desperation, so I’ll wait ?

Just do it. The toffees are calling you. Why not indulge yourself? Nobody else will care!

Go on Midgey, you still have three shopping days to replace them, no one will ever know.
All the wrappers from the quality street make a lovely display, not enough blue coconut ones though.

It was necessary to open the Quality Street to check how many purple ones were in there. Seem to be none, wonder how that happened? ? Feeling uncomfortable one evening the chocolate peppermints seemed to be the very thing to settle my tummy. Purely medicinal you understand. ?.

Someone forgot where they hid the box but now it has just been found, a 120 year old box of chocolates in Australia.

I think I’ll pass this time.

Some good laughs on this thread.
V3ra I laughed out loud at your potty training story.
Now the dgc aren't visiting I've eaten everything in the treat tin, refilled it, scoffed the lot again.

MissAdventure ?

If that toddler is still in nappies at 8, we'll know who to blame.

My husband, son and I have all but finished a Christmas tub of Cadbury's Heroes (just the unwanted eclairs left).
And last week I'm ashamed to say I pigged the big bag of chocolate buttons that are the toddler's potty training bribes.
Now that did make me feel bad ☹️

I asked my grandson (in the middle of november) if we might eat some chocolates from his advent calendar.

"Well", he said, "I've eaten up till the 8th of December, but we could share the rest".

We’ve been enjoying the Christmas Cake here. It always tastes really good in the few days before Christmas.

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

Midgey, one year, coming up to Christmas, my wife and I had been to the US. Returning home, she saw, in the duty free shop at the airport, a litre bottle of Jack Daniels for the princely sum of ten dollars. Knowing my penchant for said whiskey and Christmas a few weeks away, she bought it.

That whiskey kept talking to me, I knew where it was hidden, it was just too much, I opened it up and had a nip, then another and after a week there was only half left.

What to do? Buy a smaller bottle at the supermarket and top it up, that's what. Twenty two quid for a little bottle, are you serious? I took the arse kicking, she just went on and on.

Take a tip from me, leave the toffees alone.

We've started eating the Christmas cheese!

How selfless, V3ra.
You should treat yourself to another bottle for being so kind.
