I opened the tin on Boxing day and there is still quite a lot left in it! The thing is I would never have thought to buy them myself but they really are very nice and one of the nicest gifts I've been given.

When did you open them, JaneJudge? Any time before yesterday and you’re a complete amateur in Christmas 🐷 terms, I’m afraid!

well I've got a box of milk tray that I'm too scared to open as apparently they taste of bleach!

Someone bought me a lovely tin of walkers milk chocolate nuts and fruits which I can't leave alone sad

They certainly are Toscalily they are my favourites - I'm sure they've got something addictive in them which lights up the pleasure centre of the brain.

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. grin

I got a large-ish tin of shortbread biscuits - to be fair twice the amount could have fitted in the tin - but they've all gone, every last crumb.

You mean the box costing around £2.50? Whoaaaa!😆
Was only a 🐷 with the Christmas pud this year😇

Yesterday I ate a whole big box of Maltesers. By myself.

And I’ve just made enough pastry for another 2 dozen mince pies - all to be scoffed by 12th Night, naturally. To be entirely fair they’ll only be very little ones, just a couple of mouthfuls. But at least they’ll use up the last of the mincemeat.
