Despite promising ourselves we’d wait until Christmas Eve we have eaten:

1 pack of Lidl shortbread
1 pack of Lidl shortbread bought to replace the first one. Now need to buy another but not until the weekend.
DH polished off the almond and rosemary crackers plus a bag of taralli.
1 pack of Lidl spiced biscuits.
2 x caramelised onion cheese wheels.
1 x black garlic cheese wheel.
I’ve opened the pickled onions (see above).

We need an intervention!

My son’s tube of mini Rolos for his stocking. I’ve replaced them but I’m not confident I won’t be tempted again!

Dd would love these, where were they from please?

Yes, thank you. I had a bit of a cold but over that now. What about you?

Ah so it’s just your natural judgemental attitude. How superior you must feel. Congratulations.

It's the drink for me 😳

One bottle of Cremant a couple of posh Malbecs, half a bottle of ginger wine and a few glasses of Baileys

*Cremant and Malbec not on my own - shared with DH

A box of Roses and some Viennese pastry mince pies. Annoyed with myself and not buying more till this weekend.

The sainsburys mince pies? Those are great

Bit boring, but we did an M&S goodies shop, one of the items was a pack of m+s Jaffa cakes which I put in the stash. They are now long gone.

Judging by this thread I need to be less uptight and get my gorge on! 🤣

I've eaten the chocolate orange I bought for my own stocking

Will you replace it?

Depends how greedy I'm feeling @BringBackCatsEyes
Also - Have they got rid of cats eye reflectors? - sad times.

About to start my fourth Terry's chocolate orange. In my defence, they are TINY these days!
