Christmas Chocolates

[Chatterbox Childcare]

I wonder how many people buy these early because they are on special but they don't make it to the big day?

Last year I brought 2 tins and they stayed in the garage until 25th December but this year we have eaten our way through 3 tins already. What about you?

[ZoeAlli]

Hee Hee! That was us last year!:blush: This year so far we've been more reserved- only one tin so far, however i expect to go through another tin next week as I am hosting a candle party.:) (must get some more for presents).

[miss mopple]

I never buy the tins. The kids get so many sweets I dont see the point :blush:

[Twinkles]

I had that very problem this weekend ......with a bottle of Baileys :D

[Pixie dust]

We have still got some left in a tin from last year, the ones that nobody will eat so not going to get any this year,

[FussyElmo]

We are being so good not been tempted yet. Not even for the Baileys :thumbsup:

[little chickee]

[nannysue]

Mine could sit there from one Christmas to the next ............. until that seal is broken :D then its fatal i have to have one each time i pass them !!

But in my defence we have to have all the pretty papers for crafty stuff , so i have no choice really... its all in the line of work !!!!:laughing: :laughing:

[ajs]

i did an asda mystery shop in september and they told me to spend £25 so i bought beer, chocoaltes and biscuits and haven't opened any yet, i have been tempted but haven't given in yet

[nell57]

Bought one tin a month or 2 ago and put in top of wardrobe, had completly forgot about it until read this thread:D

[PixiePetal]

2 tins stored in larder :thumbsup:

was almost tempted but on halloween there was a prog with Dawn French on and there was a tin with insects coming out of the wrappers - put me off somewhat!

Debbie tut tut! what about those size 12 jeans waiting for you? If you have any more you can bring them at the weekend and share :D

[The Juggler]

the only thing I really buy is after eights or dinner mints. Not saying I don't like those soft centres in the tins but I prefer dark chocs.:)

It's not me honest :laughing:

I must admit when hubby took the selotape off I couldn't refuse but once the kids saw them they are all but gone and not on my waist either! :D

[Ali56]

I have a tin put away and was trying to be good, then I looked after my friends girls while her OH had an operation and she gave me a tin as a thank you!! needless to say they won't make christmas :D :D

[kindredspirits]

mmm.... now I don't do xmas indulgence (actually don't do xmas this year) BUT I am going to get a tin of chocs today because its actually cheaper to buy the tin with the chocs in than it is to get a cake tin - and I need a new cake tin.... (thats the story i'm sticking to anyway.)
They will be gone within a fortnight! :thumbsup:

[Carol M]

One tin of Roses hidden away to take for midnight feast on Christmas meet up in Brum.
I hear Angel is a chocoholic, better get another :clapping:
Carol xx

[Trouble]

make that 2 :blush: :blush: :blush: well i was doing paperwork :(

[jacey]

I've bought the tins as they are cheaper at the moment than "normal" chocolates and all in my household (2A4C) get to choose types they like as we all like different ones:)

[Playmate]

It's not me honest :laughing:

Ok I'll let you off :laughing:

[Alibali]

I voted none, but then after reading the thread I remembered I had bought 2 boxes of after eights, not opened them yet, but just been to give blood and couldn't because I'm anaemic - and I think there is a lot of iron in after eights:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Off to open a box:D

[zillervalley]

I'll eat them for you, just to help you out.:D


I bought a tin last week and ORKSIE made me open them at the weekend...so we had to eat them.:clapping:

[Mouse]

I haven't bought any yet, but keep thinking I should while they're on special offer!

A couple of years ago we bought 3 tins & were given another 3. They all went in record time. Last year we only bought one tin & I was really strict about not opening it before christmas. We forgot about it & found it just in time for easter!

[breezy]

2 lots of celebrations well and truely hidden from the kids!!!!!!!!!!

:eek: 3! lol, I don't have that problem with chocs (hubby does but he's rubbish at finding what I hide :) ) my trouble is with cheese....mmm......and my kids are the same...as both of us, no safe haven here for chocs or cheese!
