Hello all
Well nearly free choccies.

Enjoy

Fancy telling me that now when there are two Thorntons shops near
me and I am on a mission to lose 10lbs before end August,I have the
mag I get it delivered so will have to give DD the chocs to test.

Same offer in Daily Mail to-day 22/6 so I could get two packets free
if I was that way inclined (who am I trying to kid,I'm very much inclined)

Oh glammanana I feel exactly the same way! I'm also much more inclined than I ought to be and all this talk of chocolate is making me hungry...

Am I going to be able to walk past Thornton's tomorrow when I go to
town ? I think not,maybe I will pop in and tell myself the freebies are for
a friend ? maybe I will take them with me to the Garden Shed for la-la
time ?

Too late !!! They only have the 28th June Womans Weekly in Tesco's, and today's Daily Mail..

I bought a camera, fro which there had been a £100 off token in a Sunday paper. The shop had had the foresight to buy a copy for every camera they had in stock.

I missed out on the mistake Tesco's made on their 2 pack of beers
yesterday,they where selling them at £4.00 for 2x12 pcks,instead of
£16.00,someone had programmed in the price at £4.00 total cost
instead of £4.00 discount,and guess who decided to go to Morrisson's
instead ? but I bet someone's head will roll to-day in their IT dept.

I know it's wicked of me to suggest it, but if you're a chocolate connoisseur rather than a chocoholic, try Hotel Chocolat and The Chocolate Tasting Club. Thorntons taste like sugary cardboard after that.

glammanana Thu 23-Jun-11 14:37:34

It's not wicked at all baggy,the only reason looking at Thorntons was because they where FREE and we would have got two bags FREE,I
never get anything for nothing or I always miss out on offers,but you are so right about The Chocolate Tasting Co. they are fabulous,I joined
last year and have a box sent every 3mths,the most fabulous chocs
I had for a long time

baggythecrust! Thu 23-Jun-11 16:19:46

Yes, I guess free chocs do taste good, glamma! one of my nieces (19) recently got an extra chocolate bar out of a machine when she'd only paid for one. She was over the moon: "Best day ever!"

baggythecrust! Thu 23-Jun-11 16:21:02

PS I've even eaten cooking chocolate with relish at certain desperate hormonal times and so have my daughters!

glammanana Sat 25-Jun-11 14:20:46

Oh I've just remembered that there is a bar of dark chocolate I bought
to cover a cake I was going to make for a party that was cancelled,it's
hiding in the cupboard behind the glace cherries and honey,me thinks I will have to test it and make sure it's ok for human consumption ? I'm
hoping glassortwo does'nt spot this as I post my weight loss on Monday.

Baggy, yes have quite gone off Thorntons, far too sweet and also seems a bit common to me now that you can buy it everywhere.wink However, in moments of 'need' have attacked the jar of Nutella I keep at back of cupboard for GS, infact have had to 'replace' the last jar!
