    Sorry to have not been there to save you from yourself @WinterWarrior🤣
    I am also stopping myself looking for the Reeces bars, that way they can not slip into my basket.

    @WinterWarrior we should pair up I prefer rich dark chocolates and truffles 😋

    @warby68 thanks for the info. I do appreciate it. Unfortunately living far from civilisation, our small Tesco doesn’t stock such exotic things...tbh it seems to struggle with basics half the time 😖, but I will definitely keep my eyes open for them!

    @CRANKY40 nutrageous bars...18 in a box for £10.01. Thought it was an excellent deal 😬
    These are 3 for £1.20 at Tesco on a permanent multi-buy so 18 would be £7.20. I only know this as it is one family member's guilty pleasure but might be useful for future reference. Sorry if it spoils the Amazon deal a bit.
    @warby68 you are making it harder to resist the pull of the nutrageous and I notice they have the mini cups on offer 🤣

    At least you only have to buy 3 for a good price and not 18 !!
    They also have Hersheys' Cookies & Cream on the same offer - all 3 mentioned are on rotation here as long as said family member behaves. All adults here now, but chocolate still works as blackmail.

    Oh I love the Hershey’s cookies and cream drops!! Mmm. Odd as Hershey’s milk chocolate isn’t nice at all, but the white is excellent (in my humble opinion 🤣)

    Good morning and happy Saturday . I am declaring today an NSD (no.14) as that should stop me frittering. 
    I have a few jobs around the house and need to take MrWW into town to post a parcel...I’ll be glad when he’s off his tablets and can drive again, I feel like his mum ferrying him about 🤣
    I was in the garden at ridiculous o’clock as dog needed a wee...I can’t blame her, I did too (but not in the garden) 😬
    Have a great day ☀️

    Good morning to you too. I'm working my longest day today and will be shattered by the end of it. I need to post my current passport back ready for the renewal but I can't take my looked after person with me so it will have to wait until Monday. Poor Mr WW not being able to drive - I had to be driven everywhere for 5 weeks after I had the HT as I had a C section. I hated every minute of not being able to go where I liked when I liked. My guilty secret is that I quite like some of the Hershey's flavours. If my late husband had been somewhere where the NAAFI had things from the States he used to bring me back a stack of different bars to try.

    I would hate not driving too. I used to love the different Oreo flavours from the NAAFI back when we couldn’t get even the bog standard flavours here at all...so special! A relative was in Germany early 90’s so we managed to sample wonderful things 😁 The Hershey’s is just too dark for me.
