    coffee, hot choc, oxo, decaf coke as long as it has whisky in it.  All the others are way too sweet.  You wouldn't think I used to drink coffee with 4 sugars in!

    Onto some further chocolate talk. My boss has been over from the Netherlands for the past 3 days, brought in a box of chocolate Tulips for the rest of the team and a box of Belgian Godiva chocolates just for me 🙂  No, I don't get special treatment but I am the only UK based member of his team and he's cancelled on me 3 times in the last year due to restrictions keep changing! lol

    Maybe calling him Cedric was a way of cutting him down to size?
    If so, it failed miserably! 😂

    Proud to wear the team pepsi t-shirt. Anyone else in my gang? 🥴
    Nope, Coke all the way, but it has to be original, I can't be doing with diet or caffeine-free, when I want/need a coke I want caffeine and sugar, think that puts me in a gang of one 😄
    Make that two :D:D Fat coke all the way!
