    I know - weird eh? :huh: This time, there's been a slight change in delivery. Instead of a mini packet of chocolate buttons, it was a mini bag of Milky Way Stars. I had to take a second look when I walked up - I was like !!!!!!?!

    Trying to think.....hmmm.......about 6 people on here know my address, but it's been going on for 14 months now, so that probably takes it down to 2 who knew my address back when it started !!! I ain't naming names, but I know where you both live and if you're mad enough to be travelling all this way every few months to leave kids chocolate on my doorstep, you need help! :rotfl:

    So the chocolate drop dropper is now showing you chocolate stars.

    The mystery thickens...

    and just how long before they upgrade to Jaffa Cakes is what I really need to know. :rotfl:

    It's just odd that it's gone on for so long. I thought it was a kid who fancied another kid and was leaving the chocolate for them not realising they had the wrong house (there is only 1 family with children inthe street and they live almost opposite). However, I can't see someone having a school boy/girl crush for 14 months and having not made a move since the last packet last September!

    I have to admit, it does freak me out a bit :o
