    He he, just the excuse (sorry, very valid reason) i've been looking for. :rotfl:

    My uni canteen stopped selling those lovely G&B bars for a while and I'd got used to not having them but I noticed yesterday they have them again.

    Now I have those poor farmers to think of ;) and also I can convince myself that a small amount of G&B is healthier than a snickers or dairy milk or something!

    Am really trying to cut down on chocolate but think I may have to give in to temptation, keep an eye out for "chocolate" on tomorrow's (oops, today's, must go to bed!) spending thread.

    Thank you for supplying the answers to my problem :rotfl: :D

    Is Green and Black chocolate actually fairtrade any more? It's certainly an expensive habit to get into. You could try Sainsbury's Basics chocolate (25p a bar) - it's not bad and it might just relieve some of the cravings!

    Green and Blacks...*drool* :drool:

    Just don't be fooled into trying the butterscotch version - there's no chance of just having a few squares of that! :rolleyes:

    God I love chocolate, i get all scratchetty if none in the house...my husband can totally live without it though. Why is it men don't seem to be ensnared so easily in the delicious melty chocolate trap?

    Mmmmmmm.....chocolate traaaaaaaaaap............ :drool:

    Only Green & Blacks MAya gold is actually fairtrade, the other ones are organic.

    Phew! Cos that is my all time favourite!! :D

    I went to Tescos today though and picked up some...would you believe I actually put it back? Even now as I type this I am thinking "Why? Why?"

    What a fool. I must have been in some sort of trance.

    I would be a better money saver if...........I had some money to save..? Errr no that doesn't wash does it? If I didn't have such crazy hair to keep under control....costs me a damn fortune to look even vaguely acceptable.
