Tunnocks Thread 2

960 replies

The question asked in Thread 1 has still not been answered satisfactorily, and so the quest continues to discover which side of the fence Tunnocks are on or whether they are in fact sat atop the fence throwing Snowballls and Tea cakes at both sides.

I have no idea where the link below will send you. hopefully to the original thread and at the start, but it could be a completely different thread half way through. I'm too full of sugar to concentrate properly!

No chance on the walking! But yes to the response to the Tunnocks. I think it was the better for having fasted.

Fingers crossed them for your next round of blood tests! Everything else sounds good! Any chance the swollen ankles are from additional walking?

More to the point did the Tunnocks hit the ahhh that's so nice spot?

I have had one plain chocolate wafer today. Next one in a week!

Can't tell about the diabetes yet - need the next lot of bloods. My weight's down and my blood pressure's down. Eye tests are clear, foot check is OK. Nurse wants me to have water pills (i'm not an infant!) because of slightly swollen ankles, but I've swerved that as it could be due to BP pills, and I have a problem diuretics would exacerbate. Pelvic floor exercises are very slow to work. Drat.

I have completed several months of no Tunnocks wafers, following diagnosis of diabetes. And then, yesterday, I was reading through the Diabetes UK site, and it suggested substituting for a chocolate bar, two fingers of chocolate wafer. That, I said to myself, is, presumably, KitKat. And if KitKat, surely Tunnocks is OK. In moderation. So I have bought some, and secreted them somewhere not easy to get at. One a week. Though not substituting for chocolate.

Months!!!!! Oh you poor thing! You need to do what @CervixSampler does and slice your caramel wafer into thin slices!

I hope your sacrifice had been worth it with regards the diabetes

Can you not give up lettuce instead?

If I did that all my lunches and dinners would be pure air seeing as this is mumsnet and it's de rigueur to eat a MASSIVE salad for dinner instead of lasagne, chips and garlic bread like more normal people. Or in my case 3 Tunnocks if the need arises. Been known to happen.
A very valiant and noteworthy effort there BB. You can do it!

I've valiantly decided to forgo eating tripe for the lent period!

I have given up English asparagus. I love asparagus so this is a huge sacrifice or would be if it didn't come into season until April.

To give up Tunnocks for Lent or not?? It would be a tough one for sure.

And I'm not saying anything without my solicitor present, other than I wasnt 'invasive' more like persistent.

Anyone got any after Sun?

Burningbeetle · 22/01/2024 13:31

Mmmmm toasty!

Makes a change from being boiled!

Burton's customer services department have confirmed (1 October 2014) that they no longer manufacture the orange-flavour Viscount biscuits.

IcakethereforeIam · 21/01/2024 18:41

Do they still do the orange viscounts?

I wouldn't worry, they'll bring her back. And don't be surprised if an alien reviews (5* out of this world) UTDOD in the near future.

CervixSampler · 21/01/2024 18:27

Have aliens abducted BB??

Was in a B&M yesterday. Couldn't find any Tunnocks 😞 there was a package of pretender teacakes....with cherry jam! Reader, I left them.

Have you tried Home Bargains?

Waitrose have put the price up - it is as if they don't want anyone to buy them. 🤔

When I was a child, my mum used to buy Club biscuits - we got one after lunch at the weekends. My sister and I realised that, if we were careful, we could unwrap the biscuit and carefully fold up the empty wrapping and put it back in the sleeve, then swap my dad’s biscuit with the empty one, as a joke. We did it so many times, and to his credit, he laughed every time.

Heresy! You'll be going on about how you love Yoyos next! It's a slippery slope, I warn you!

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 21/01/2024 11:51

Viscounts remind me of swimming in the local freezing outdoor pool as a child, get in the water whilst screeching, half heartedly swim up and down for a few minutes so you could say you did it, then out to sunbathe with a viscount and a hot chocolate. And they were huge, I’m very sad that you have to eat 3 at a time now. (Typing whilst eating 2nd of 3 teacakes and drinking coffee)
