To say 'fuck it, it's christmas' and open the celebrations

Craving some sugar.

It's the last week of school and I can't be bothered to enforce the 'no tablet on school days' rule, so dd is watching 'simon the rabbit' at full volume on the iPad whilst munching on a family size bag of crisps, 30 mins before dinner time

I've well and truly given up, but this would be the last straw

Wibu?

Our first tin has gone had to buy 2 more - and there is only me and my old man

I like that you've had to buy two to replace the one tin 🤭🤭

Of course, all on this thread will be living on lettuce only from 2nd January 🤐

😄😄 the January sadness

I like how you said 2nd January as well - everyone knows 1st January doesn't really count

I bought my Christmas chocolate last week - but have only managed not to open them because I have been raiding my small stash of salt n vinegar crisps (they aren't sold here so visitors brought them and I don't expect anymore for quite a while...). So I applaud the opening of festive treats!

Where on earth do you live that doesn’t sell salt ‘n’ vinegar crisps ffs? 😮

SuperfluousHen · 16/12/2024 22:42

Sounds perfectly reasonable behaviour on 16th December. Have at it! 😃

Notaflippinclue · 16/12/2024 22:39

But definitely has to be Cadbury

In theory, we have a box of Roses in the cupboard for me, a box of Heroes for DH (he's not keen on Roses) and a box of Lindor to go both ways. However, we also have between us various health problems and an indecent amount of cheese, which is both bad for our health (loads of fat) and very good for it (cheese is extremely low in sugar.) We both prefer cheese, so I think some of that chocolate will have to go to DH's office. It will allow us some damage limitation and carb-hungry volunteers will get a blood sugar boost. We'll hang onto the Lindor though 😋

Stash of treats built up over last few weeks Few extra items added to regular shop Mince pies/crisps/sweets, fruit juices, unfortunately I have to keep replacing them as someone(?) keeps taking from the hidden stash. Just bought 4th box of mince pies and still have 8 days to go.

I remember backfilling with a second box of celebrations a few years ago. Someone commented on the strange lack of galaxy and abundance of bountys in that tub…

As an aside, I really miss the galaxy truffles in celebrations!

Oh me too, it's ridiculous - plus I suspect they put in less Maltesers every year

Me too, and I had to laugh at the poll. 91% think the OP is not being unreasonable. Healthy lot, aren’t we?

We had an extremely chocolatey, chocolate log from Waitrose over the past couple of nights. Was delicious.

I'm not usually a waitrose shopper tbh but I'm taking a drive there this year, as soon as they discount the potatoes and veg - I've heard only good things about the yule log 🥰

Yanbu. I stop work on the 20th at 5pm. I'll break open the Christmas food at 5.30. 😊
