I wouldn't buy christmas sweeties till christmas eve....very late christmas eve....I'm chocolate junkie and instruct the wife to hide it. That doesn't excuse you though, lardy boy.

We don't have sweets in our house, so I probably shouldn't comment........ Rose's all the way

i've noticed the offers on in the supermarkets Doug, but we're not having christmas at home this year so don't have to bother buying any

Well as an ex- and life long chocolate addict I'll say NO to both.. not entirely easy, but no sugar for 9 weeks now, and feel so much better, it's convincing... no/ well hardly any at all/ aches and pains! No headaches!! More energy! And the lurgy that threatened with the slightly sore throat never materialised, I can't believe how surprisingly easy it is to actually give it up... can't promise I'll be able to leave it forever, but I hope I'll be able to.
Just look at this for example!

It's the Zenith one you're talking about?? Must be the cyanide in the almonds... :lol: which by the way kills cancer cells, in small doses, according to very convincing and longstanding research, did you know? Always eat your apple pips for it... My mouth is watering just thinking about Marzipan now... you BAD PERSON!!! :lol:

 

[Deleted member 9966]

the chemicals we use at work G smell like marzipan if mixed in a certain way

I've added a poll.

I prefer Roses but I tell you what, I'm sure they've changed over the years, for the worse. Got smaller or poorer quality, not too sure. Wish I had a tin from when I was younger to compare to! Maybe I just grew a bit and they are actually just smaller to me now :lol: who knows?!
