Lesley-Jean Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 OK Anne, What am I like I've just ordered a 500g mixed selection from Holdsworth, on line. OH is in Castle Douglas for a couple of days and will be bringing me some from In House Chocolates. I will now be able to do a genuine scientific trial to compare the two. It's a hard life but someone has to do these things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 While we're on the subject of chocolates... I was given some After Eights by the old lady that we watch out for. I unwrapped them last nigth to keep me company while I was ironing, only to find out that they're Irish Cream After Eights How disgusting are they???? Needless Phil had most of them for brekkie Bleurgh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Ugh, I've had those too ...in Irleand too funnily enough...really sickly aren't they....can't beat the minty ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I don't like chocholate much! I gave it up for lent anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley-Jean Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 Martin, It's not normal not to like chocolate, I put your not liking chocolate much, down to you being a boy and we all know boys are not normal As for giving it up for lent that is not a sacrifice if you don't like it much. The point is to give up something you do like. How about not mentioning Eglus to your parents for lent I think that would be a genuine sacrifice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Can I have your chocolate then, Martin ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcat Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 OH MY GOD (sorry to all clergy on site for that outburst!) Pleeeaaase stop! I've just visited two chocolate websites and now I can't stop thinking about them! No more, now, thats naughty! I havent lost any baby weight and don't look like I'm going to! Don't want to buy up a size in clothes, so I've been really really good and now this. "Ooops, word censored!". Its no good, off to raid the kids choc pot. (look like lovely choccys though, make sure you tell us which is best before I put an order in... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I'm not mad on chocolate, I leave that to Rosie and Phil But occasionally I do like a nice After Eight or a bit of G&B. But chocolate cake, now that's a different matter..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I did like it, but not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I can't resist chocolate even though I prefer sweets! But (talking of God, as you were) during Lent we don't eat chocolate or sweets and it really doesn't bother me. It's like a total acceptance and I don't think about it. Very strange because that's not one of my character traits. Why can't I apply this acceptance elsewhere? Like when I can eat creme eggs at Easter?

Guest Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I like cheese, but have cut down on it over the last few years. Bread is my downfall. And having a chocoholic husband who gets upset if I don't share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
