I just moved into my new home. Don't have any spare money apart from £65 that I put away for my council tax as in middle of April when I moved in, I didn't know when my schedule for council tax would come but it came a few days ago and it doesn't start til June. I get paid on 15th of this month so my devil is telling me to go indulge in a tub of Ben & Jerry's but my angel is screaming 'nooooo!'

Indulge, and scoff the lot in one sitting.

What flavour are you getting?

ClaireDeLoon · 13/05/2009 14:06

YABVU feeling guilty, I think you deserve Ben & Jerry's. What flavour are you going to gte?

MummyDragon · 13/05/2009 14:25

YABU in feeling guilty. You sound as though you deserve the ice cream. Have a spoonful for me too!

Frivol · 13/05/2009 14:26

You must die.

LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune · 13/05/2009 14:27

YABU, Ben and Jerrys is rubbish go for Hagen Daz instead.

Fledge · 13/05/2009 14:28

If its cookie dough, yes! Feel good about it. Enjoy it. Let it fill you up and let the taste linger for hours on your tongue. Its good stuff.

LolaTheShowgirl · 13/05/2009 14:43

Yey, I love you people

Chocolate Macadamia I think is the flavour of the day. And then no more spending this money til Friday pay day, then I won't have so much to put to it for my bills ha ha ha!

Ben & Jerry's here I come (@ nearly £4 a tub...muahahahaha!)

Oh chunky monkey is lush, cant get it round here though, local tesco discontinnued it.
Gutted I was!

Go for it, but do it properly, no bowl, just the tub and a big spoon!

Enjoy, you deserve it!

motheroftwoboys · 13/05/2009 14:55

Supermarkets often have it half price then you can buy two!

Fabulousshoes · 13/05/2009 15:24

Ben and Jerrys is sooo much better than Hagen Daz. Chocolate Fudge Brownie is my fav. I think its the law that you must indulge at least once a month isn't it??!!

bumpyboo · 13/05/2009 15:34

PHISH FOOD
Also, once sent out hubby to buy a much needed tub of the stuff only for him to get home open it and find it was just full of ice, imagine the scene. Apparently the local shop keep some "decoy" tubs in the freezer to deter shoplifters or something. The moment has never left me. Shudder

Bought a tub in ASDA today for offer price of £3. Toffee vanilla crunch. Yum! Enjoy!

angel1976 · 13/05/2009 15:39

Oh yes, one thing my parents taught me was to never scrimp on food... So enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

LolaTheShowgirl · 13/05/2009 19:45

PMSL @ bumpyboo! That's a tragedy. I can only imagine that the trauma will stay with you for your remaining days!

The chocolate macadamia nut one is just lush.... its officially my pregnancy craving

Tidey · 13/05/2009 19:47

Chocolate Macadamia is looooovely. The ice cream itself in Phish Food is nice, but I think the chocolate fish taste cheap and nasty, like advent calendar chocolate.

Baisey · 13/05/2009 19:48

THANK YOU! Youve just reminded me that I have a full tub of half baked in the freezer!

Baisey · 13/05/2009 19:50

I know what you mean Tidey, we have a Ben and Jerry's stand at our local flea pit and the little chocolate cows that you can have on top of the sundaes taste VERY cheap

I've got Chunky Monkey, Phish Mood and the macadamia one at the moment. They are currently half price in Londis stores (the small Spar-like shops), if you have one near you..
