Oh yes indeed.  What I can't understand is why some people can't taste the difference.  They are the only chocs with a crunchy bit that I can stand/love.  I like caramel/chewy type chocs & soft ones, but I really do not like crunchy type ones, so don't like nut chocs & definitely do not like maltesers as I don't like the malted taste as well as the crunch.  I cannot buy chocs as if I have them they are gone.  I once ate a 3lb box & then started on a 2lb box in one evening.  I am not to be trusted.  I am both addicted & allergic, its like hayfever one choc & I start sneezing but do I stop, well obviously not.

Ooh orange smarties! I managed to bag a box of small tubes some time ago….and still have 2 tubes left (smug). Although I’m always terribly sad they no longer have the coloured plastic lids with a letter underneath ☹️

I’m also very partial to (large) white toblerone and white fudge pretzels 😋

Lucky lucky you
Also miss the plastic lids.
Get a tad overexcited when the tube has my initial or my DS's even though he is now grown up

Oh my goodness! Smarties with a letter lid! Had forgotten how much I loved them *sigh* 
Getting older sucks....

Good morning, happy Friday 🌞🌸
pay day, woohoo 🎉 I have already done some money shuffling, but have some random moves on my spreadsheet I can’t quite remember, so need to get up to complete those at my desk. I can also colour in and or update various sheets according to where I am on my plan…much more entertaining than work. 

Then I can look longingly at my august spends and think sadly about Maltesers 😬
@beanielou yes to the letters, the excitement of getting my initial on a green lid was immeasurable!
@elbree getting older does suck ☹️ (She says as she groans getting out of bed…when did that start happening!?)
I hope you all have really good days with minimal work and maximum enjoyment ☕️🍫⭐️

Happy Friday 🥳 and happy payday 💰

I don't buy smarties any more because it's just not the same without being able to look for your initial....I thought it was just me but obviously not 😂  I like maltesers -  when I was small (a long time ago) you could buy Horlicks tablets in the chemist. They were lovely and the inside of maltesers reminds me of those. I can't stand Horlicks as a drink but I'm not above eating a spoonful of it dry if I'm using it for baking.
