    I say DO IT too :D (not that this will surprise anybody!)

    Am torn between insisting you should buy expensive special chocs, and the expression on the checkout bods face when you rock up with half a trolleyful of JUST CHOCOLATE :T :rotfl:

    Exactly! Cadbury worked out a great system! Why do people have to try and go one better when it just can't be done! :D

    Hmmm, well, almost - I do like a mix of Cadburys and Galaxy, depending on my mood...

    Ummm, have to differ on this one... better cocoa hit from quality chocolate.

    And I'm in the middle. Too high cocoa is too bitter, too low cocoa is too much like sugared lard.

    What about thorntons/hotel chocolat?

    *sniffs air* someone mentioned Hotel Chocolat??

    Anyway, back to the news...I have news...did I mention that there's some news?

    I've accidentally rented somewhere back up north (which is 'southern' for the midlands) - friend had a short-term surplus of houses and a need to cover mortgage repayments...I needed somewhere to live, and a chance to get all my gear out of storage again (if only to spend some quality time on my own sofa), and the kismet of supply and demand (and a nice neat tenancy agreement, because we're both like that) happened...

    Move date is 2nd June - so packing once again!

    Did I mention that I'm excited?? There's a garden - gorgeous - which is desperate for someone to potter in it (the last tenants haven't bothered), and it's in a fab location travel-wise for jobs and friends, and nice country walks, and general loveliness....
    :D
    And there's enough room to have all my craft stuff out.....
    :D:D
    Oooooo *claps hands with glee*

    Ah..."The South" as it's called here.
