I’m definitely in the Cadbury’s camp. I’d eat galaxy if there wasn’t anything else obviously. I’ve had a Ferraro rocher bar tonight. It was very nice and I’d have another one just to check it was good as the first 🤣🤣🤣 xxslowly working towards being MF one small over payment at a time :T3

Some days I'll eat the cheapest chocolate there is if I can't get Cadbury, so I think expensive chocolate might be wasted on me. Had some of dgs birthday cake today, chocolate fudge cake, so so nice but only had a little slice - could have eaten a lot more but I was very good
and it was her cake!!!!

Good morning and happy Wednesday 📚🍫☕️🌟
I remember when we were kids the local shop had a stash of cheap cooking chocolate in that was amazing. I think we bought all the stock over a few weeks. The shop man was concerned it wouldn’t be good for us…at a third of the price we didn’t care 🤣 I’m maybe a little more discerning these days, but any chocolate in a storm (as long as it’s not dark) 😬 Actually, that memory reminds me of when I had to make pocket money last and when it was gone, it was gone. It’s such a shame I learnt that lesson early and then lost it as soon as I was working 😖
Not long now until Friday pay day. I guess we are all doing something right now as we all count down to pay day on here, with practically zero in the current account, whilst refusing to dip into savings or credit streams..well done all of us!My hobby place house arrived yesterday 🌟 I can’t wait to have a go at decorating.
The day before that my hobby place order that went missing actually arrived! I’ve had about 57 annoying interactions with the hobby place while they arrange to get it back (would I drop it at a local store..erm, no, not unless you pay me 6hrs travel and a day off work). I can’t believe how bad they are being. Much better stores would just say keep it for the inconvenience, but these are determined to get it back at any cost and lots of messing about for me. They suggested I drop it in to a collection point, with a link…when I checked there were none in the county. Why didn’t they check first? Now they are collecting it, but want me to print off labels and wait in for a day. It’s put me off ordering from them again 😡
Anyhow, enough moaning…work today and not much else.
I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday 🍫☕️📚🌟Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

What a palaver with the hobby place, very bad customer service 😡
Exciting times ahead with the little house. I hope we get to see a photo when it’s finished.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
Did you have to tell them you received it? 😬 Or was it tracked and they contacted you? I remember I had an issue with an order a couple of years back. I ordered a thread organiser and added some more to my order to qualify for free delivery. Soon after I received an email that the organiser was out of stock and they refunded me quickly. The website still showed them as in stock a week later so I contacted them to complain. They offered free express delivery if I ordered it again which I did begrudgingly because they had the best price. Not as bad as your experience, I really expected to let you have them, especially after all that palaver.
I've been up since 5.30 with Boy2, he hasn't stopped talking since. Almost school time now, it can't come quick enough! 🤣 I had 2 coffees before 7.30, I think I'll break my rule and have more than 2 today. 😴
Enjoy painting your house, I hope we're going to see it soon 😊01.12.2020 - CC £16,839 / Loan £18,820 / EF £0
