Now, changing the subject slightly...or rather a lot actually! We have been given a chocolate fountain, which is very cool and I'm looking forward to using it, howver, the chocolate to put in it costs near-on £20!!! Does anyone else have a fountain and do you put your own recipe/chocolate in? If so, any recommendations?! thank you!

On the Celebration and OS boards they say use normal cheap supermarket milk chocolate and add some milk/oil to make it 'flow' and not clog up the fountain. See here, here and here. I dont have a fountain so cant advise but I hope these help :T

QB, I had one and you could use pretty much any chocolate but needed to add oil (ie galaxy) but I heard that the thortons one you dont need add oil too! I tried it and it was great, gorgeous. They do 'bags' of chocolate chips and it didn't cost CLOSE to £20.

But don't use alcohol... I went to a party where normal melted chocolate clogged it up, and the list of things we added to try and get it thinner got longer and more bizzare as the night went on!

£9 for 900g :eek: Supermarket brand choc is 27p for 100g. Two/three of those plus a few drops of oil that you have at home anyways. Think MSE :T

Its not really grey Linda more stained, the front 4 teeth are quite bad (I think) so might go for veneers on all 4 of them.

Its getting to the point were I just dont want to smile on photos:(

Speak to a dentist lou and see what they suggest. My advice is to have veneers as a last resort. I've got 6 and honestly if I could turn the clock back I would never have done it. I had mine for cosmetic reasons, being in the entertainment industry it was pressure to have a white smile.

I hate the stupid things, they fall off regularly. I can't go away without taking temporary glue with me because I just never know when one is going to fall off. I would say I am in the dentist every 3 months having one stuck on. My dentist has used loads of different sorts of glue to keep them on but nothing works long term.

My real teeth are now little stumps, they took a lot more actual tooth than I was told they would. I thought they shaved a little off, but the reality isn't like that at all.

My gums have never been right since I had them done, they bleed now, they don't like the veneers being there and no matter how much I floss and clean them I can't get them healthy. I can see that in a few years I will have to do something even more drastic just to fix this gum issue.

I wish I had done the bleaching thing and maybe braces to straighten them a little. As it was I lept into whacking chunks off perfectly healthy teeth and now I can't bite anything hard like an apple because I'd end up with veneers flying all over the place.

Thanks PAP, that's really useful to know, and thanks ever so much for searching through the MSE archives!

Ames and Bunny - thanks for the tip off. Our Thorntons is shut for a refurb at the mo, but will have a look on their website!

Very useful - thank you all!

No need :rotfl: look at my last post... Its ok for a special occasion but for a kids party or a Saturday night go for the supermarket choclate :T

I really shouldn't have gone to the thorntons website... Asda are doing boxes of them for £2, and the branch in town has half price mint selections. Might get myself a small box or bag as a reward for doing my essay.

Speaking of which, if I post in the next half hour please shout at me, I really need to get some studying done!
