To steal...

From my child.

For context, my son is a freak who prefers sweets to chocolate. Whereas, I love chocolate, especially chocolate orange.

Now, MIL has bought my son a chocolate orange Twirl. WIBU to keep it for myself and fob him off with some Haribo?

Ask him to swap?

sapnupuas · 29/09/2020 14:39

Where's the fun in that?!

And he's say yes. Or offer to share, because he's lovely (I'm not!)

chocolate orange Twirl

When did this happen????
Why have I not seen them ?!

sapnupuas · 29/09/2020 15:19

Co-op has them. But they sell quickly.

There are also chocolate orange Fingers and Buttons. You won't like either, so you'd better save them for me.

Have you seen the marmalade chocolate digestives?

Lsquiggles · 29/09/2020 15:30

Do it, especially for an orange twirl Grin

imissthesouth · 29/09/2020 15:35

Do it!

Marmite27 · 29/09/2020 15:37

They’re not that nice. Barely any orange flavour. The Terry’s bars are much nicer.

McColl's had them in yesterday - 2 for a quid - I'm guessing most McColl's would have them (if they haven't already sold out - they are lush!)

The marmalade on toast ones? They’re nice! 🙂

sapnupuas · 29/09/2020 15:53

Oooh yeah I've had the marmalade on toast ones.

And there are blood orange caramel digestives out now or something.

One good thing about 2020!

I'm on a TEAMS call and this is all I can think about now. Admittedly I probably shouldn't be on Mumsnet either.

I do that too. Mumsnet when I should be listening.

I'm a diabetic, low carbing to control it. Been extremely good since Feb (let's not discuss Christmas/January). But you may have just pulled a wheel off my wagon!
Bluetrews25 · 29/09/2020 16:05

It's not stealing, it's trading....without his prior knowledge.

MJMG2015 · 29/09/2020 16:29

It's your civic duty. Chocolate cannot be wasted on weirdos who prefer sweets

RelaisBlu · 29/09/2020 16:33

I want a chocolate orange twirl right now

My thoughts exactly.

I honestly don't know where I went wrong with him...

Oh dear, I’m sorry! I often forget who might be reading. If it helps at all, the cherry and strawberry versions of the digestives are rubbish and so not worth the carbs.

Notimeforaname · 29/09/2020 17:15

I'm in Ireland though Sad
Would I be unreasonable to go to the shops today purely to search for this magical chocolate Twirl?!

Puddlepop · 29/09/2020 17:17

@Notimeforaname I’d strap on a mask and go right now. The night would be too long and regretful if you didn’t even try.

MrsMoastyToasty · 29/09/2020 17:19

Don't try the maple and pecan Matchmakers. They are mingling.

Apology accepted 🌷

🤣🤣🤣

Ocado can bring me a packet. I've promised them to a friend on Sunday, with only 2 missing, & I'll walk there & back (3miles each way) and it'll be VLC the rest of the day. Hopefully it won't throw me out of keto 🤞🏼

Advice taken on the other flavours & I now don't feel the need to try them! 👍🏻😊

@Notimeforaname. Is that not what the internet is for?!

@sapnupuas. No. I don't know where you went wrong either. Mind you, maybe you haven't. A bit like Jack Sprat & his wife! At least he's not after YOUR chocolate!! (Maybe your MIL secretly bought it for you, surely she knows he prefers sweets to chocolate?)
