    No chance, I think it's worth the £10 but not much more.

    Not sure we're supposed to. Looking at the picture on the website, I seem to have exactly what's on there? All the sizes even look exact.

    Where does it say you get 8 lots?
    I only found this
    "A typical bundle may include a variation on the following: 456g Chocolate Selection (RSP £10), 322g Mint Collection (RSP £10), 225g Milk Chocolate Collection (RSP £5.00), 625g Original Special Toffee (RSP £4.99), 375g Winter Continental Collection (RSP £10.99), 625g Assorted Special Toffee (RSP £4.99), 203 g Dark Chocolate Brazil Nuts (RSP £4.99), and 500g Giant Choc Block (RSP £7.99)."

    hi all,
    it was me who originally said there would be 8 boxes because the lady i spoke to actually broke it down for me and said you get abt 8 boxes in total that work out at less than £2/box..and because i was salivating slightly my brain went into stupid mode and forgot the maths and trusted the nice lady at thorntons:o..it clearly says 2kg box..the 5 boxes make sense..i must promise never to make a decision on chocolate withdrawal mode ever again:( Darn those pesky mind manipulators at choco heaven:mad::)
