    Good morning. I hope that you manage to sort out your work problems. My day will involve making fruit crumbles, yum! Did you manage to have any maltesers delivered yet?

    That's not actually possible. I think I went through 4 tins by October last year. I'm just not buying them this year.

    Morning @WinterWarrior. Goodness your diary moves fast. It's hard to keep up. In between all the chocolate talk I did read you haven't touched the pots so a big well done there! Hope you get your work problems sorted. Have a good day.

    Many years ago my mum bought a box of her favourite hazelnut whirls and put them away for Christmas. I discovered you could sneak them out via the seal at the bottom of the box without breaking it. I kept taking the odd one out now and again. When she opened them at Christmas she wasn’t happy to find the box half empty and was going to take it back to the shop to complain so I had to confess 😆

    SA genius chocolate snatching! When I was little some family friends had a similar Easter egg disaster. They were put in safety on the pelmet, but the young son had been balancing a chair on the table and had eaten all the backs and middles….many tears from his siblings on Easter morning!
    Carolbee….once a week, she loves it! Cranky…not my dog, but hilarious…I wonder if I can train her? 
    tea…it does move fast, all you lovely people are wonderful 🌸
    Naomim, I’d rather make crumbles too.
    Cranky, yes I have Maltesers 😁
