Ha ha, I had to read this thread as I am currently tucking into a chocolate orange!! They were on offer so got 3 for DH and DCs stockings, and oh dear, a spare one....yum!

4 tins. In the boot of my car for safe keeping, safe keeping. My fat arse.

Already started on the roses I bought for my staff. Best go back to the shops.

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.

foslady · 10/10/2013 22:18

Co op's £1 a box liqueurs are lovely - allegedly, not that I'd know, of course not, I haven't bought and eaten a box.......or two........

WorraLiberty · 10/10/2013 22:22

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.

Amy106 · 10/10/2013 22:26

Life is short.
Why wait?
Munch away, I say and enjoy! Smile

agendabender · 10/10/2013 22:30

already done it
bangs gavel

CoconutRing · 10/10/2013 22:30

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.

OctopusWrangler · 10/10/2013 22:40

I uave hallowe'en chocolates taunting me butni am remaining strong!

also has a cat sprawled on her knee

Mouserama · 11/10/2013 10:40

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.

SmiteYouWithThunderbolts · 11/10/2013 10:50

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

Oldraver · 11/10/2013 12:44

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

girlywhirly · 11/10/2013 13:11

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.

Totesamazeballs · 11/10/2013 13:20

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.

Featherbag · 11/10/2013 13:31

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?

LaurieFairyCake · 11/10/2013 13:35

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)
