    No, but you sound just like me! I've made that mistake before and had to go out and rebuy chocs for christmas/easter/whatever.

    Sad but true. No willpower see? Once I know it is in the house I cant get it out of my mind till I've eaten it.:o

    I was very good - I just bought the one box to take to Germany as a thankyou gift, else my diet would be right down the pan!

    Why is it called willpower - shouldn't it be won't power?

    We also have a Thorntons in Camberley and they were more expensive there!
