Mr Bags was not popular yesterday evening when Minibags discovered he'd eaten the last white Magnum 
. I'd told him they were her favourites so to leave them for her but he forgot. Funny that 
.
Minibags and I are now plotting freezer hiding techniques. We've perfected the art of hiding chocolate and crisps and date slices from him. This new challenge will test our hiding abilities to the limit. It will involve bags as disguises.
He says he doesn't like sweet stuff. Know thyself, eh? 
The point of white chocolate is to make me happy, Nellie. 
I have the dark, bitter stuff only when there's no lovely milk chocolate available - it tastes to me too much like something you eat because it's good for you (I do know that it is, before anyone tells me). I like brie too.
Mice do indeed love chocolate. I discovered this one Christmas when the chocolate ornaments on the tree were nibbled. Sadly, we then knew what to use as bait in the mousetrap. 
rubylady,
Rubyson pinches everything in sight, even my sweets when I have bought him his own.
So Rubymum has bought some chilli sweets from Ebay, from the joke shop and lets see how his mouth goes on when he pinches one of these!
I detest white chocolate - it's like sweet margarine.
Just love dark bitter chocolate.
Feel really bad when I find that it's only me has eaten it, so have to buy more and pretend that it's the original buy
I think it's awful that I have to do it, but honestly I call them The Locusts. DBH blames DS, but DBH is far worse. I could never put a whole batch of any cakes or biscuits out, he just thinks he can have twice as many. I have food hidden in my wardrobe before xmas and chocolate at Easter - the mice got in there and he kept on saying 'why on earth would they want to go in there?' but sadly mice also have a sweet tooth! I used to be able to hide things in the outside fridge, he has discovered that place recently.
I do love mini magnums - even the white one, which is a bit too sweet but, you know - MAGNUM! I have to hide them behind a freezer drawer in a small space on top of the motor. One box lasts me about two weeks, but if he found them he would have two a day. He is a real chocaholic, so we can't have any in the house that he knows of, apart from special occasions. It makes planning cakes and desserts quite hard, I have found my mending basket is the best place for that. Under the salad in the fridge drawer lasted for years, until he took up athletics and his body became his temple.
It's very encouraging to find that others have to hide certain edibles! I was beginning to think this household was weird .
I have to hide any bananas Minibags and I might want to eat. MrB can eat them by the bunch when still not quite ripe enough for our taste.
I have never liked white chocolate which doesn't seem to me like chocolate at all. Really dark chocolate for me! Except that I have just discovered the Weightwatchers' points value for a very small (35gms) bar of Green and Blacks!
Oh, you must, Luckygirl. They are one of life's sweetest delights!
Janerowena very funny
Everything nice has to be hidden in this house - from DBH, who also insists that he doesn't like sweet things. We even have to hide strawberries!
We have a new lot of plants this year, so not as much fruit. DBH has taken to popping down the garden early in the morning for a stroll, the result being that there are never any big fat ripe strawberries left for DS and I. I have taken to going down really late at night and picking almost-ripe strawberries and leaving them in a greenhouse, just leaving him a couple.
Early the other morning, he went down and there were none at all. I put a few back without him seeing, then sent DS down to 'pick' some. DBH kept very quiet. Imagine the look on his face when DS strolled past him, a large handful of ripe strawberries in his hand, happily eating them! I shall never ever own up to that one.
Her mother's daughter, DD admitted to "nicking" the DGCs chocolate buttons from the fridge and then pretending she had only bought one packet for them to share
I'm not a fan of ice cream but love white chocolate and white chocolate Magnums. Fortunately for me (and unfortunately for my waistline) DH can't stand white chocolate
I am not popular we have to hide EVERYTHING from GD who is like a heat seeking missile where food detection is concerned choc biscuits and tasty goodies end up in my bedroom cupboard (not magnums though) they would melt so only buy one pack at a time when we can all eat them together ....I have to hide crisps and savouries from myself ..not very well I might add
This made me chuckle because I'm still hiding stuff from myself! On Tuesday, rooting in the cupboard for flour ( I don't bake often) I found chocolate bars in two different places! Dark choc with chilli and dark choc with ginger, yummy.
I've moved them now to a more accessible hiding place.
You see, I have every sympathy. White choc Magnums wouldn't last a day in our freezer. Daren't even put them in there. (because of me! 
)
Poor Mr Bags!
good idea, you could colour code the bags and wrap the item in foil first as well.Mr Roses always makes a beeline for the white choc
Magnum and manages to always get them before anyone else. it's a sort of special ability.
