Thank god it's a chocolate one. Times are hard when fluffy bunny has to go in the pot.

taintedpaint · 08/02/2011 16:33

Ooh you mustn't!

Poor Derek. :(

But also!

oldwomaninashoe · 08/02/2011 16:35

Isn't Derek past his use by date????

purplepidjin · 08/02/2011 16:36

Perhaps he needs to be feeling the cold and get left a little too close to the radiator...

MrsTicklemouse · 08/02/2011 16:36

Derek... seriously.... Derek??!! :o

How old is DD??!!

I must say you've done well to last this long, DS1's reindeer didn't make it to boxing day, I blamed DH!! :o

DD is 14 and knows better. Dereks use by is up in May. He is HUGE. MASSIVE and looks so edibly yumola.

I have a really cunning plan. Listen carefully. Do you know how to do paper mache?

When she is at school do a paper mache on him and when dry remove the original Derek. Cover the paper mache version carefully with teh gold foil.

If your dd tries to eat him at a later date just act all and tell her convincingly he has "gone off" due to being so out of date.

(confession: I stole a small Lindt reindeer and I still feel guilty)

God, I thought your fluffy pet rabbit had died and you had turned in to a bunny boiler and eaten him. . .!

BoobyMcLeaky · 08/02/2011 17:04

Could you 'accidently' knock him over so he smashes into edible pieces?

lessnarkypuffin · 08/02/2011 17:05

Chocolate doesn't really go off for years. The sell by date is a legal thing, also it can go a bit white.

FancyALittle · 08/02/2011 17:23

Last time I visited my parents' house I found a chocolate snowman in that attic that I'd refused to eat at Christmas some 18 years ago.

They're clearly more sentimental than me!

lessnarkypuffin · 08/02/2011 17:26

I don't know about 18 years. I was thinking 2/3.

seeker · 08/02/2011 17:27

dfs's guinesa pigs are looking very plump and tasty.......

seeker · 08/02/2011 17:28

ds's guinea pigs - obviously!

Rannaldini · 08/02/2011 17:29

I was so hoping that this was a real rabbit Q
Lindt choc grimmo

Ieattoomuchcake · 08/02/2011 17:33

Eat it

BeatriceLaBranche · 08/02/2011 17:47

I would eat it...

Honeybee79 · 08/02/2011 17:48

Oh just eat it. Will be off soon. Life's tough, whatever gets you through the day.

needsatrim · 08/02/2011 17:51

You should buy a tiny Lindt rabbit from the shop, eat the big one and leave the little one in it's place and concoct a story about natural wastage due to the sell by date, or reverse ageing Benjamin Button type thing.

gleechie · 08/02/2011 18:18

I am jealous of your Lindt bunny, I'd eat it tbh, your daughter wouldn't appreciate just how yumola Lindt is (particularily those red ball melty middle things!!) I like Pffts idea!!

Eat him!!
