to hide in the porch eating a bar of chocolate just to avoid

[BumWiper]

sharing it with the kids?

[porpoisefull]

Course not, it's very bad for them. Just make sure you don't have chocolate round your mouth.

[bubblesincoffee]

YANBU. We don't have a porch so I have to use the utility room. Nobody ever goes in there except me.

[BumWiper]

Theres always a pack of baby wipes in the porch.And a mirror .

[IroningBoardForSurfBoard]

gawd no!

it's better that way especially if it was theirs in the 1st place

[EuphemiaMcGonagall]

YANBU, but be careful of the slippery slope that leads to my dad's behaviour: he hides chocolate in the medicine cabinet. There's only him and my mum in the house!

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

of course YANBU

I have my stash in a high wardrobe shelf

[BumWiper]

LOL Euphemia.
I hide chocolate in a pair of wellies out there.Of course I'm the only one who ever tidies the shoe stand.

I once hid in the loo eating a magnum.

My number one trick for eating junk like biscuits, smarties, choc etc in the same room as children is this - Get a mug, fill it with whatever treat you want to eat. Hold it to your mouth now and again and have a nibble. I do this all the time. The kids (quite reasonably) think it is a cup of coffee and leave me alone to indulge

[Squitten]

I ate the last chocolate mousse today. For the benefit of the kids, obviously...

[joric]

Halftermhero - This is genius! I am going to do same.
I usually cram choc in mouth and if DD asks what I've got I tell her it's a cracker or bit of banana :( !

[HalfTermHero]

Joric, it really is genius, even if I do say so myself . I have not been caught out even once in over 6 years. The kids don't even give you a second glance as a cup held to your mouth looks so normal!

[joric]

I am already thinking of things I can put in my coffee mug... I think chocolate buttons, malteesers, ice-cream - meltable treats mmm. :o

[joric]

Meltable in mouth not mug btw

[stealthsquiggle]

No WAY am I going to reveal the location of the chocolate stash on MN. DH someone might read it...

("doing the washing" in the utility room is a good opprtunity for consumption, but a lousy place to hide it as it melts when the tumble drier is on)

[HalfTermHero]

I find that Malteasors and Galaxy Minstrels work beautifully!

[SkipToTheEnd]

HalfTermHero you are my half term hero :o

Now I know how I'm going to survive!

[BumWiper]

I'm going to guess that The Babys first words will be mammy is eating chocolate.
Shes usually on the boob whilst I'm scoffing dairymilk tidying the shoes.

[HalfTermHero]

Just remember to take it easy! The temptation now will be to eat 4 bags of sweets whilst 'Something special' is on TV. You need to fight the urge and limit use of the Mug trick to no more than 2 bags of Malteasors daily

when my sister fracturd her spine she was told to stya in bed for a while (she got home as she had a baby).

She called me up to her room, a bit weepy, and asked for her make-up box from under the bed.

Blimey, I thought, bit shallow to be applying slap just for the doctor doing a home visit.

It was her chocolate stash..............

[shuffleballchange]

DS1 has a nut allergy, so if I'm eating something I dont want to share, I just tell him it will make his face swell up like a balloon as its got nuts in .......luckily DS2 is too young at the moment to want my lovely, just for me chocolate, which, by the way, we have none of, so its chocolate spread out of the jar tonight.........with a big fat tablespoon!

[shuffleballchange]

Oh and you are certainly not BU, if I had a porch I would be squatting there now, spooning chocolate spread out of the jar.

[mumblechum2]

All my goodies are in the salad drawer. The one place they would never ever go.

[MrsPotionsMistress]

I have a big big bar of dairy milk in the tins cupboard. Only I go in there.

However, I want a caramel at the moment. Dairy Milk just won't cut it.

[joric]

:o @ shuffle and mumble!!

I have a 12 month old who demands whatever I am eating, he comes up to me and shouts and points, he will eat anything! Luckily he still naps twice a day so plenty of time for indulgent snacking but as am currently 14w pg in six months time I may well be finding hiding places!

My mean husband once hid my chocolate after I admitted to having a stash of giant buttons in the breadbin....
