Christmas

Who else has been eating 🎄presents that were supposed to be for other people?

I'm ashamed to admit to eating the odd chunk off my children's Easter Eggs, when having a bit of a tidy up in their rooms back in the dim and distant past. blush

No, but only because I haven’t bought anything yet. Give it time …

Oh yes, been there, done that. As yet resisting temptation!!
Loved the Yule log story @GrannyGravy13.

1 packet of chocolate robins gone, tin of biscuits mysteriously opened themselves !!!🤣

I bought various packets of chocolates and coins and DH asked me to hide them from him.
He has started mince pie testing.

No I’ve not done that but I have bought myself the same thing if I know I’d be tempted

I opened a cupboard yesterday to find DH had opened the mini Yule logs and there were only two left.

There's only a swizzles calendar here.
Hardly worth the effort.

Guilty as charged - but although I've had the odd bits and pieces, it's the OH who is the main offender! Every time I think I've managed to find a hiding place, he ferrets stuff out and scoffs it! Padlocks on the cupboards next!

Oh, I like Heroes.

NannyJan53 Sun 01-Dec-24 14:20:25

I have a tub of Celebrations and Heroes hidden in my wardrobe, but I have resisted so far! But your post has just reminded me of them and they are now calling to me tchsmile

Oh dear, I think it's just us greedy, selfish two, then 🤭

MissAdventure Sun 01-Dec-24 14:13:07

In years gne by, I've had to replace many a tin, or selection box of chocolates.

Only 2 small ones so far, but…

The other week, a packet of National Trust fudge, supposed to be for dh’s stocking.
And last night, several from a pack of Pates de Fruits that were going to a sister. Luckily easily replaced at Waitrose.

I hope I’m not the only one!
