    I just had a look at that Thorntons offer - seems like a good deal if you've got lots of people to buy for...I think I'd just end up trying everything before it left the house :D

    Me too! It's going to be bad enough with the hotel chocolat thing!

    Then again, I do have at least 4 lots of choccie presents to give, so I might have a look next week when I have money.

    Just spent ages entering dozens of competitions. Really hope I win the ebook reader, although winning anything would be a start!

    I liked the quote from his parents about keeping his feet on the ground, if he'd done that he wouldn't have won.

    I was expecting a graze box today, but I only changed my days on monday so it might take till next week to update. My one last week was gorgeous! Sally, you were right about the korean rice crackers. Should get one tomorrow anyway.

    I've still got the code if anyone wants to try one for free, they've taken the fresh fruit out now

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Oh and can someone tell me why my husband is sat on the sofa watching television, have done a bit of ironing this morning, having his hair cut and then going to the post office. Does he think that effort equates to being a lazy arrse and not bothering to look for a flipping job....I could cry I really could.
