Sheer piggery (by me ?)

We have bought 2 tins of Quality Street for when the GSs come over and have eaten both???.

Shan’t buy any now until Christmas week.

I can' t buy early. I DO have two chocolate Santas upstairs for DD and DGS, but they're safe because I'm not a chocolate lover anymore.

That fudge wouldn't have been safe here, Witzend. I want to buy typical Xmas goodies. But they won't make it to Christmas.

Glad it’s not just me!
Just as well nearly all the goodies for other people are safely wrapped now. Safe because however piggy I might be feeling, I really can’t face wrapping that lot up again.

OTOH there’s still an unwrapped box of M&S chocolate Brazils in the bag of things for dh’s stocking….

DH came home with some chocs on special offer. I've eaten most of them already though I didn't even want them. Then I scoffed 2 rock cakes and felt sick. This morning, full of resolve, I'm a new woman...... no more chocolate, no more cakes, no more alcohol. This new me will possibly last till teatime at the latest. It's just hopeless. I had a friend who used to keep chocolate in her fridge and eat one square a day. How can anyone do that!

I bought some fudge for a present and have eaten it all as well! LOL

Next time I buy it, I must wrap it straightaway!

Nice to know we all do it. Have done this in the past, so far this year, I have not succumbed, yet !!!

The special Winter selection from Aldi disappeared last night. There’s one sad Orange Cream left in the box.

(The first one was a bit disappointing)

Daughter-in-law brings the Christmas fudge on Christmas Day.

She’s says the first batch was quite good but she’s workng on improving ?

Oh I feel better knowing it's not just me that is afflicted by the lure of extra goodies in the house :-)

A couple of nights ago I started on the big tube of Smarties I'd put aside for DGD stocking, I finished them off last night.

Oh well I will be shopping again before the 25th.

I'm blaming the very cold weather but really I know it's just my lack of will power.

I used to have to put the children's Easter Eggs in the freezer when they were young. I couldn't keep blaming the Easter Bunny!!

Join the club! Skydancer I have always thought there is something slightly worrying about someone who eats 1 square from a slab of chocolate.

That’s me Sarnia! But then I do have a reputation for being weird!

The other day I saw a White Forest Meringue dessert, to serve about 6, in the Co-op freezer and decided to buy it for Christmas, when I shall be alone for the day. Well, it never made it to my freezer and I ate it gradually over the same day! I shall therefore go without a dessert on the big day as I daren't buy another.

I love this thread, good one Witzend. Chocolate sultanas do it for me. I buy a stonking great container of them and munch through them in a couple of days. Still, it is better than boozing, isn’t it ?

Me too. Definitely a founder member of this club.
Have so far eaten a full tin of roses, one of quality street and a tin of celebrations. The replacements are now in a locked upstairs wardrobe and the key has been placed on the edge of the loft hatch. Extreme I know, can’t stop thinking about them.

I work on the basis that, rather than have a small piece of cake every day for a week, it is just the same number of calories if you eat it all in one go!

Christmas goodies have to be hidden from Mr.B, especially cheesy biscuits and gin! I’m afraid I am another weirdo who can eat 1 square of chocolate a day, but as I’m now on the Diabetes Prevention Program I am avoiding all sources of sugar. I will allow myself a few treats on Christmas and Boxing Day though.

Fudge = devil food, yuk.

Chocolate on the other hand…

For some reason my appetite for chocolate has waned, I used to eat a lot every night but gave it up over 24 hours. I don't like milk choc anyway so Quality St etc can sit there forever. My husband can wade through it at a rate of knots though.
I do sometimes have 2 fingers of dark choc KitKat. No idea why I suddenly went off chocolate.

I can’t resist glacé cherries, have never used them in cake making as there are never any left.

I now have an advert ‘find your vice’ ???

I'm another chocolate raisin (maybe sultantas?) fan. I find Iceland do the best ones.

That's why I haven't bought any chocolate, fudge, shortcake, made any mince pies yet!!

Chocolate brazils - my MIL used to leave a box of them on my pillow when she'd been to stay. No-one else buys them for me

Brazil nuts are very good for you
