A Christmas 🐷 thread - I’ll start!

I'm allergic to almonds the quarter of the tin of milk chocolate covered almonds looks full and f***ing amazing

This thread is so unkind to diabetics 🤬😠😢

Oh, sorry.

And coeliacs, those with a nut allergy etc.

It should come with a health warning.

I’m more a savoury person - I haven’t been eating at home really, for the past few days . Xmas with daughter and family. Boxing Day with youngest son and family, 31st and 1st, away with middle son and family. Today had a small roast lamb from M&S. There’s a box of Ferraros and one Quality Street, untouched. I’d rather have Prawn tails, chicken Goujons - ready salted crisps., peanuts or cheese strips . I can gorge on then.

This thread is so unkind to diabetics 🤬😠😢

Twiglets! I have to buy a bag of small bags. If I bought the large size they would soon go. I do have just enough self control to limit myself to one small bag per evening.

I can honestly say that I haven’t eaten ANY turkey, pigs in blankets, mince pies, Christmas pudding, Christmas cake , quality street, liquor chocolates, Yule log or shortbread, but mysteriously my body weight in peanuts 🥜 and cheese seems to have evaporated from the kitchen 🤷‍♂️?

Wading through Christmas pud with my own brandy butter, stollen and after meal tonight, chocolate gold coins from my DD.

I've just eaten 4 Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
I'm not that keen on them but we meant to take them with us at Christmas, forgot and they need tidying up.

Well, I managed 28 mince pies out of that pastry. Have only eaten one so far but give me time. 🐷

Still chomping solidly here, despite most meals being of the fusion variety.

My Christmas gift/s from my oldest g’son was a big bag of assorted goodies from various stores, Waitrose, M&S, etc. Since the 27th, along with normal meals, I’ve scoffed three big bags of crisps, a big tin of mostly chocolate biscuits and a (literal) s.it load of assorted liquorice. Haven’t touched any of the more sensible stuff, e.g. savoury biscuits, chutnies, etc. My IBS has now kicked in so I’ll have to be good and eat more sensibly for the rest of the week and definitely no more liquorice for a while ☹️

Still got a bottle of Baileys to go along with a packet of mini stollen and two boxes of plain chocs.
LauraNorder I am having the same problem with Ariel.

Finally finished the ham. I wish DH had said when I bought it that he didn’t really like it. Still got 6 mince pies to go.

Have finished off the trifle, the last four mince pies and the last of the turkey (cooked and donated by daughter in law) on the very last bap.
Am writing a letter of complaint to Persil as all of my clothes have shrunk.

My downfall is Baileys chocolate luxe. Third of the way down first bottle. I can pass on the sweet stuff in work, but teachers don’t drink on the job (and I’m too mean to share it.)

Since Christmas Eve I have been having Walkers shortbread biscuits and coffee for breakfast. At last the tin is nearly finished. Also a third of the way through the second bottle of Baileys that I bought with my nectar points. £10 for a litre from Sainsbury just before Christmas, so had enough points for. Two bottles. My downfall is Black Magic and I am pleased to say I am down to the last two since I opened it last night. New Year resolution of going on a diet won’t kick in until all is eaten or I could just give it to the food bank. Mr B doesn’t tend to eat sweet things, so I have to be the martyr

I had a scoff free christmas, as I had total control over matters and DS and family don't give food.

but just today in M n S a very good christmas pudding was reduced too....£1. so.....

I had ginger bread man biscuits for breakfast today. There were only 4 of them.

I currently have a whole selection of oddments - cheese, yule log, mince pies, liquor chocs, that need to be used as soon as poss, so that the post Christmas recovery programme can start.

Don’t mention jelly beans and liquorice Allsorts. Big bars of each all gone.😱

My severe weakness this Christmas has been cheese (as always!). I’ve eaten 400g of Stilton and nearly a whole Epoisses. Not to mention truffle Brie, Montgomery cheddar and barkham blue brought over by DD1. I’m a 🐷 with bells on. Probably why my dreams have been so vivid.

Most of the sweet things are still hanging around. I can have one hotel chocolat chocolate and not be tempted by a second one. I’ve just frozen a stollen today which goes out of date tomorrow.

Redhead I have just finished a modest box of cherry liquors.

I remember scoffing some of those when I was about 8 years old and feeling rather giggly!

Not sweet stuff here, but the savoury cheese straws have just disappeared somehow and really don't know what happened to the crisps. Oh dear.

I have just finished a modest box of cherry liquors. It's took me a week and no other sweets or cakes etc. I have been very good not eating too much sweet stuff. Purely because I don't want to go the dentist I hate going there. So I can quite easy do without the sweet stuff unless it's in a glass.

toscalily

I was given a heart shaped box of Lindor, I have finished them all. But, considering I have been ill for a month I consider them a necessary part of my recovery.

Oh, absolutely! A medical necessity, I'd say!

Ate half a tub of Pringles "for lunch"!
Not my usual style, but they did taste good!

I've received over Christmas and New Year 3 large boxes of Maltesers. I've eaten them all! A tin of shortbread biscuits from m & s l have 3 left very moreish. I cannot resist a malteser. I was astonished that when l just cut out all the sweet treats l had lost half a stone! Which of course I have nowput back on. Sweet treats nearly all gone.
