Jennybee - what treats are you having when you get so many stars?

I've finally managed to overcome a constant battle in this house. My children often ask for chocolate/sweets especially after Christmas when they've been given loads. I've put five magnets for each of us on the fridge...we're each a different colour. Each time someone has fruit or veg they move a magnet to the otherside of the fridge. Now, they ask for chocolate and I just say 'of course you can IF YOU'VE MOVED ALL YOUR MAGNETS'. Lots of fruit and veg eaten, no arguements and tonight they were too full to have chocolate anyway! Hee hee!!
