    I know exactly how you feel!

    In future maybe you should hide stuff like that in a boring box or tin:confused:


    We buy very little chocolate and sweets these days.
    As a result the kids have developed a sensitive smell to it and can sniff it out as soon as it arrives in the house.
    If only everything in life was as reliable...AS ME !!

    My mum used to buy ScotBlok (or similar) which was chocolate that she used for baking with ... but us kiddies (and my dad - he was the worst) used to search the house high and low and scoff it ... for years my mum thought she was going insane because none of us would admit to eating it and we always managed to convince her that she must not have bought any or that she had used it.

    If it is any help I still have 2 chocolate oranges, 2 bars of Fruit and nut and a bar of Galaxy left over from Christmas ... just never got round to eating them ... I will scoff them this weekend in memory of your matchmakers.

    If you can't manage it all Ivan I'll happily pm my address so I help you out. I'm all heart on this occasion. I'm sure I read somewhere its illegal to
    A. Give a man chocolate
    B. Let him eat said chocolate
    C. Not share with me

    Its also a FACT that red wine shouldn't stay in the bottle for longer than half an hour once opened.

    I wasn't aware of all that so I am going in for a sex change tonight. I have asked the doctor to keep any spare bits that he cuts off in a pickle jar just in case I decide to change my mind ... just practicing the womans perogative bit. :D

    For years my dad convinced me that creame eggs had real egg inside them so I didn't eat them (I wasn't allowed chocolate becasue of my ADHD) but when I did find out that I liked them no creame egg was (or still is) safe
    I remember when this was just a little website! :money:
