  • Is that today’s lunch 🤣
    🤣🤣🤣 I wish!! I had a malted bloomer loaf sandwich with chilli chicken, lettuce and Mayo…followed by 3 cow biscuits. Well I say 3, but I had to scrape chocolate off a few bits (with my teeth) so dog could have some 😬

    Aww how lovely 🥰 M_F dog says you would make an acceptable doggie sitter as you obviously know how they should be treated.

    I think we will have to get in line for the Neapolitan Cadburys, I haven't seen any yet but that can replace my dinner anytime and milka chocolate I like as well, so if it's stuck on a biscuit it's heaven in a bite. 
    You can keep the rest though WinterWarrior  :D

    Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️📚🍫🌈
    I feel sad for all you white chocolate haters, but glad there’s more for me 🤣 they were all £1 a big bar, so they seemed quite a bargain as the bars are big. So if you have a bnm shop you could pick up a Neapolitan bar for research purposes 😬
    Today is back to work (boo), some dd’s have gone out and my account will be sad by Thursday when the largest one goes. I will be spending a bit next week when we are off work to use up leave, but not too much! 
    I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday filled with wonderful things ☕️📚🍫🪄

    Happy March 😊

    I'm looking forward to a trip to bnm when I drop my kitten off to be spayed in a couple of weeks as the vets is near one. I will be looking out for things for the house and cleaning products rather than chocolate though. I'm probably the only person you know who gets more excited by Fabulosa and industrial sized bottles of Flash than chocolate 😆

    I am also happy to grab bottles of the pink stuff when I’m there 😬

    Morning WW pinch & punch and all that...

    Another white & dark chocolate hater here. White too sweet and dark too bitter 😖

    We dont really have bnm here in London/Surrey. There is a tiny, tiny one which is probably better for my bank balance 😂 if I want a big one, I have to drive down to Portsmouth. I think there's one in Wembley but it's easier to drive straight down the A3 than trying to trek across London 🤣. My best friend also lives in Portsmouth so I usually stop by for a cuppa and catch up too.

  • @Deni_debt-free_dreamer it’s good that you recognise where the money went isn’t it? Now you know that paying up front for theatre trips as you can afford them is a much more enjoyable way to do it. When I fritter on my hobby, stationery, too much chocolate, etc. I feel guilty, but not half as guilty as I did when I was putting purchases on plastic 😬
    hi WinterWarrior

    Yes you are right.  I am off to the theatre again tonight!  Tickets were only £18 & my friend's OH is driving us so it is a reasonable night out.
    I love the look of those biscuits & i enjoy white chocolate too.  We have 2 x B & Em here; in fact we are spoilt for choice for supermarkets & discount stores from the upmarket to the bargaineous all within a 3 mile radius :)
