Take one cheapo chocolate-coated choc-ice...

If you have ever had a non chocolate coated choc-ice you've been ripped off.

Glad to see we're back at the chocolate.

Is everyone else as astoundingly busy as me at the moment?

I could be astoundingly busy if I actually felt like doing any work.

I love chocolate.

And I love rewired.

Here's a nice banana thing I used to do.

Take one cheapo chocolate-coated choc-ice and one banana.

Slice the banana up and put it into a serving dish. Nuke that for 15-20 seconds at a time, turning it occasionally, until the banana is firm, but just turning mushy - and hot. Slice the choc-ice lengthways, exposing the most ice cream. Place the two halves of choc-ice, ice-cream side down, on top of the hot banana.

Eat with a spoon.

mmmmmm

That's a 1 minute/25p hot AFTERS.

I have so got to do that when we are on holiday....

Can you think of a suitable alternative to banana as middle son detests bananas.

Yes, I'm beginning to wonder if retirement is all it's cracked-up to be. Haven't done anything even mildly 'leisure orientated' for weeks!

Tell a lie, I stood on the beach at Bournemouth for half an hour last week and ate an ice cream. It was blowing a force 7 at the time, mind, so not really much fun, just light relief from viewing student houses. Doesn't matter where you go, does it, student flats/houses are all the same: equally yucky. At least none had shag pile carpet this time round....:eek:

I am not sure if it is just me but I feel seriously out of step with the rest of the world at the moment.

I hate to drag other threads in here but jeeeeeeeeeesus wept. Does the whole bliddy country think it is entitled to a free ride?

It has to be symptomatic of something other than my bliddy age.

Surely?

Would now be a bad time to announce that you're now at the mercy of a hedge fund.

The largest cocoa purchase in 14 years.

See attached article, titled why the price of chocolate is set to rise.

You're going to have to start getting your dopamine fix from more natural methods.

I don't eat chocolate. Well I do in the middle of the night when no one is looking.

Then it doesn't count

Am I the only woman who doesn't eat?

Honestly
