Bourbons aren’t a favourite, but will do in a pinch! I love the mixed chocolate biscuit tins that come out at Christmas….I must try and bulk buy them in the sales!

I must be weird, then: I love a plain digestive. Too much actually, so rarely buy them! 

Edited to add: it is a very MSE biscuit

Mine are only almost 3 and 9 months so I am currently on mat leave (though back at work in a month's time) and don't yet have the distinction between term time and holidays though won't be long for DC1!  Sleepovers are a good call!

Bourbon biscuit sounds good, pure bourbon even better!

I remember those to be really lovely ages @[Deleted User] - I keep trying to persuade DH that we really do need number five because I’ve been too long without a gorgeous little baby to cuddle!  Not sure he sees that as a good enough reason!

Absolutely agree @WinterWarrior!  They never seem to last long in our house - a tin will magically disappear in a day!  I think I’ll need to have my wits about me in the coming months and see if they come up on offer anywhere

That is true @BellaLasagna2018, but I think I’d rather opt for rich tea as my MSE biscuit of choice - much better for dunking in tea!  Digestives just aren’t sweet enough for my taste - I will admit to being at least a moderate sugar addict!

I do have a soft spot for milk chocolate rich tea!

Have any of you tried making "Twinks Hobnobs" - it's a recipe from an MSE board.  They are very simple to make and use good ingredients.  You can melt some chocolate on them too. 

 I love biscuits but have started feeling a bit iffy about the type and number of ingredients shop bought biscuits contain and how they manage to have such long use by dates.  

Mind you, I've just eaten a handful of chocolate pretzels 😋 so no danger of me being too virtuous.

I’ve got some more spending updates but I’m not sure I can face the quantity of typing just yet.  

I spent Wednesday night in hospital with DS1 who suddenly became very poorly (temperature of over 39 degrees and struggling with breathing).  Ambulance arrived at about 1am, rushed straight to A&E, then spent the night being monitored there before moving to the paediatric ward at 8am.  Thankfully, he was feeling much better by the afternoon after lots of inhalers and the obligatory Calpol.  Diagnosed as a viral pneumonia causing wheeze, and though he wasn’t 100% better, they let us go home with a list of things to watch for.  

Having been awake for 36 hours (which I am yet to recover from!), I will admit to not making the most MSE choices.  Suddenly I find myself in need of junk food and anything with sugar in it seems to find its way into my shopping trolley!

WinterWarrior

No @Blackcats, but I think I need some!!
sorry DS1 was so poorly and very glad he’s back home. Junk food is perfectly understandable 🍫

Hope your DS is feeling better soon and that you have got over the lack of sleep ( and shock of hospital at 1am).

I remember reading your old diary so lovely to see that you are writing this one🙂.
