    I’ve never bought chocolate from Amazon before reading this diary …  but some maltesers and caramel dairy milk appear to have arrived in my parcel today 😂

    I’m so glad I could be a bad influence @stymied…..I hope you didn’t get my Maltesers 🤣
    I can get my money back on the 21st if they don’t show…it’s because it was a seller on Amazon and not Amazon themselves 😕 So I have found more direct from Amazon (and also minstrels as I was looking 🧐) and will order those if the original box doesn’t arrive. I like having a few different choices on the go and buying in bulk they do last us quite a long time…I still have some m&m’s in from the prime day deal among other things.

    I couldn't either! I would definitely see them as a challenge to be conquered as quick as possible rather than a treat to be savoured! 😂

    Thanks beanie….I’m in bed with the plug in heat pad 😁 I had it on at my desk today too (WFH goals)..I can’t say it’s eased it , but I’m nice and warm! Luckily it’s in an odd place around my neck and shoulders so although it hurts I’m not having to do that looks like you’ve filled your pants shuffle when I walk 😂
    and beanie and elbree it’s reverse psychology, if I have lots in then there’s no panic. If there are just a few things in then MrWW and I would be scrabbling for our fair share 😬 (imagine gladiator, WWE or possibly the Thunderdome), but when there’s plenty I don’t mind if he eats lots as long as I get a few 🍫

    In my not so humble opinion, chocolate is meant to be eaten the moment it crosses the threshhold.  A few years ago I ate a 3lb box in an evening & a 2lb box the next, since then I avoid having it anywhere near me.  The annoying thing is I don't really like it, just one choc & I'm hooked.

    Good morning and happy Thursday 🌺🌸
    I would just like to say OW! I think I got about 3 hrs sleep in the end with much shuffling, reading and a cup of tea in between. I do not like this bad back at all! I will be glad to get back to work as the office chair was much easier than bed. 
    No spends planned for today. I’m just counting down to pay day, only just under 2 weeks to go ☹️ I’m determined not to spend what I’ve tried to save this time. 
    I hope you all have a good day ☕️🌸🍫

    @badmemory you don’t like it? I’m not a fan of dark chocolate or the really rich kinds of posh chocolates, but I love white and the light and fluffy flavours. Do you not have some you enjoy? What about crisps? I’m concerned for your snacking now 😁
