Well apparently the cat is my new dietician and sensed my chocolate plan.

He has parked himself firmly on my lap.

I can't kick him off. I had him 'fixed' on Tuesday and he has only just forgiven me.

But there is a tin of Heros with my name on.... mini toblerone....yum!

YANU! I am sure they will be stale by then, perhaps even poisonous! Better eat them immediately.

Just save them for Christmas and that way they'll seem more like a christmassy treat.

Otherwise you'll be bored of eating Christmas food before December even starts.

I always eat a least one tin a week of Celebrations or Roses before the festive season.
I'm a firm believer in quality control.

This is the reason I don't buy christmas chocolates until December. Because I keep having to re-buy them again and again because I have no willpower. None.

I definitely didn't buy a tin of Roses yesterday and start eating them on the way home. Blush

No, you need to audition all things meant for Christmas just incase they turn out to be crap

Good point, Oldraver.

Also there is that old MN tradition of wrapping Christmas presents while listening to festive music, eating the Christmas chocs for energy to keep you going.

I do it every year. I buy chocolates for gifts, hide them under the bed and vow not to go within 2 metres of them and then scoff them all in a moment of weakness. Sigh. Every damn year.

It all needs testing surely? You wouldn't want to risk giving your family chocolate that turns out to be crap at Christmas would you?

I moved house yesterday

The only thing in the house is a Christmas cake

I've eaten a third of it

(I'm fucking knackered, the cat shit on my foot in protest at moving, I haven't yet found a cup for coffee)
