I'm thinking of making a £3.99 sweetie bet - will it work?

Hi apprentice tycoon,

I'm glad they lasted.......I was just wondering how your tin had fared the other day when I was gorging myself silly on a tin of roses.

I'll keep my eye out for any in the sales and put them away for next year. Thanks for coming back and letting us know.

I bought some christmas cards etc., from a mail order catalogue in September/October as they were offering a free tin of Cadburys roses with every order. Unfortunately, they had a sell by date of November 2006. I thought I'd risk it and put away for Christmas anayway......

......They were fine. No ill effects at all. Go ahead and buy your bargain chocs.

Yes, of course I'm still here! where else would I be?

I did work out though that the more I posted the less work I did :rolleyes: so I put MSE under the heading of 'work avoidance schemes' and tried to limit it, I'm still skimming the threads on a regular basis however....

I wondered if you'd succumbed to the sweets

Yes, there's a proper name for that one. Displacement activity, I think it is.

Kinda describes my whole way of life
