To show you my Christmas treats

Back in the Summer I made it my goal to be able to walk/bus to my local Aldi by myself by Christmas so i could stock up on some Christmas treats ( have ASD and complex mh issues). I have managed to walk there (35 mins) and get there by bus about 3 times now. Today, i went by bus to finally get my christmas treats. (Asda and home bargains were also on my goal list but i havent managed those yet).

So, here they areGrin

By the way, i have tried the frangipane mince pies and they were amazing. They used to be in a turquoise coloured box but now they are in a black box. Also, the choc reindeer was reduced from 89p to 59p oh and the frozen berry and white choc pavlova stack was 4.99

Well done! Your BIGGEST Christmas treat was to yourself - you got out there and did it!
I am in such a foul mood today, your post has really perked me up😁
Now you know what your New Year's resolution is going to be, don't you?
Asda and HB here you come!

Well done! Love those frangipani mince pies, although am sad the lovely mint green boxes are gone, they were so pretty!

Crunchymum · 20/11/2019 12:02

Well done, what a lovely and positive goal you have set yourself!

Lovely thread. Congratulations on you achievement! They all look yummy!

StudentHelp · 20/11/2019 12:03

That’s amazing - Well done!
A lovely anonymous person has been leaving those little reindeer around my village with a tag “from the village secret Santa” which I think is lovely Grin

Knittedfairies · 20/11/2019 12:07

Well done you!

NoSauce · 20/11/2019 12:08

Huge achievement OP. Well done Smile

ClinkyMonkey · 20/11/2019 12:11

Absolutely brilliant. You deserve those rewards. Enjoy Smile

Ninkanink · 20/11/2019 12:12

That’s fab! I know what it’s like to suffer with anxiety and/or various MH ailments, so I know how much courage it takes to take those steps. 👍

Starksforthewin · 20/11/2019 12:13

Well done, OP. This stranger is totally proud of you! 👍🏻

MrOnionsBumperRoller · 20/11/2019 12:14

OP you are fabulous and should feel so proud of your achievement. I find Aldi very quiet and calm (i have horrendous social anxiety and various mental health conditions) compared to other shops.

Potentialmadcatlady · 20/11/2019 12:16

That is fab! I know how hard that will have been... you very much deserve those treats! Roll on getting yourself to b:m or h/b...

Can you let us know what the pavlova is like as I'm very tempted by it Grin

TattiePants · 20/11/2019 12:29

Very well done OP. I hope you enjoy every mouthful.

GooodMythicalMorning · 20/11/2019 12:32

That is brilliant! I have agoraphobia so know how doing things like this can be a super big challenge. Be really proud you did this.

PassMeAnotherCoffee · 20/11/2019 12:34

What an achievement! Enjoy them [santa].

Ilovewillow · 20/11/2019 12:35

Well done, savour the food but more importantly your success!
