    Maybe I should explain - one of my colleagues is leaving and has brought in chocolate to say goodbye. We also bring in cakes/chocolates for a birthday so there are quite a few of those spread over the year. Many of us will bring back sugary goodness from our holidays! If we are lucky, we also get the left over biccies from meetings too!

    Not great for the waistline though!
