AnnieW Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Thought that would get your attention! Have just received the latest Lakeland Limited catalogue. The back page is offering a 'Chocolate Fondue Fountain'. Check website www.lakelandlimited.co.uk and go to product ref search 10857. I'm sure it would work with Green and Blacks.

Cate in NZ Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 That looks simply too good to miss, and not too expensive at 49.95- might just to have to add it to my Christmas wish list . I'm planning a trip to Bluewater later this week, so I'll pop into Lakeland and see how big it is. It be great for parties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Annie - I got mine through recently too. There's some goodies in there aren't there. Did you get the christmas one too....very tempting. We're trying to be restrained this Christmas. We going away over the festive season so we won't be putting up any decorations or such like as we won't be here to enjoy them, so I'm thinking it's just silly if I get ordering stuff.......although........

Mel (& Paul) Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I LOVE lakeland - and could spend a fortune there. There is a new store in Bournemouth, which saves me flogging to Salisbury, but that doesnt help the bank balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Thay are really brilliant - they had two at the Walker Books do this summer (Phil does some of their cover illustrations), one milk and one white - WHAT A CHOICE! We were delving into the milk chocolate one, when a drunken hussy managed to spill some down her (ample) cleavage ; I had to restrain Phil, who was going to offer to help clean it off! BOYS! Get one, go for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 They had one at the Annual Mop Fair in Stratford last week - but it was £2 for a small strawberry and marshmallow kebab to dip in the chocolate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Bloomin' eck, that's a bit steep! Thanks fro sending the fair down here Lesley Town is totally gridlocked today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Don't worry Clare - it will be back here on Friday for the Runaway Mop! I don't go any more - it's bad enough parking in Stratford on a good day, let alone when the whole town is closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Unfortunately we live sufficiently near town for all the fair-goers to park in our road! Will just batten down hatches for a couple of days! The ex takes Rosie to the fair as I hate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogaloostoo Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 For those of you who enjoy chocolate the best we have found comes from http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk It's expensive but well worth it....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hi Boogaloostoo My husband belongs to Hotel Chocolat too. I've decided I'm a bit of a chocolate pleb as I don't enjoy them too much, but I do love the batons. They're definitely 'would you like A chocolate', rather than the 'demolish the lot' type that I'm more accustomed to. We enjoy doing the scoring and the last box we had (2 weeks ago?) had some really delicious chocolates in it. Everybody laughs when I tell them my husband belongs to a chocolate club, so it's good to know he's not the only absolute fanatic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Oh I LOVE the hotel chocolat choccies - we cant afford them ourselves, but a VERY kind friend gets them for us as christmas / birthday pressies yuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

The Dogmother Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Did anyone else see the article in today's Mail on Sunday about the chocolate expert at Fortnum & Mason? Sounds like she gets paid far too much to spend all day testing chox, AND she spits them out so that she doesn't gain weight Mind you, she can't have that much tast as she slated G&Bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 - Slated G&B's? I must admit that there is a chocolate that I like better than G&B's but I prefer to spend my money ethically. My SIL was working at the 'other' company the other day - he hadn't better have come back empty handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
