and come and finish off all the half eaten boxes of chocolates and sweets.
There are Matchsticks, Thorntons, Hotel Chocolate Gingerbread chocolates, jelly babies, Elizabeth Shaw mints, sour kittens and a trifle bowl full of mixed Heroes type things.
I have managed to keep my weight steady over the Christmas period but.......
I was going to suggest foodbank too. We have a collection point in our church porch and its very convenient to dispose of the unwanted “ treats” as well as more everyday items.
Any unopened boxes may be appreciated by a food bank or a day centre. We never buy any so finishing them up not a problem. We were given 1;tub of quality street that I was going to re-home but my diabetic hubby munched the whole lot on 2 days, which is why I was going to re-home them.n
My local Slimming World group collected up unopened chocolates etc from members and passed them to the local food bank. I'm ashamed to say I had nothing left in my house to contribute (as the scales testified )
We had lots of lovely 😍 Lindt chocs. So on an afternoon we have one each with our tea/coffee. We really look forward to tea break and it has become a pleasrable treat which will last us past Easter.
I was pleased when we finally finished off all the Christmas goodies including a second stash that had been out of sight. Guess what, three times when DH has been taken to the shops he’s managed to find “the last box” of cherry liqueurs. Obviously a husband to cherish but not at all good for getting back to healthier eating. Hopefully they will be sold out soon.
It'll be Valentine's soon, then Easter. And yet more chocolates and cherry liqueurs! 🤣
I discovered a box of turkish delight I'd bought to give someone for Christmas, yesterday, and had forgotten about it. Now all devoured - but I'd happily help anyone else out with unwanted/surplus christmas chocolates!! My usband and I both had covid over Christmas, so we are now making up for lost time............................
I have a large bag of goodies in spare room that I am trying to find a home for. 2 boxes of shortbread, box of biscuits. 3 large size tubes of smarties there was five of them but I have eaten two myself, box black magic, large bag of Little Elf biscuits. In living room 1 box of turkish delight and box of after eight mints. One set of grandchildren keep asking me to come to their house they know I always have sweets and chocolate but must be careful as they get crazy sugar rush when they have too much and are then jumping all over the furniture so I don't want to upset their mum.
With you there granny bags and damask. There is a need to finish a small Christmas cake before I can seriously consider starting mine. Once i have hoovered it all up then I begin. Tea and cake later, it’s dh birthday. Celebrate 🥳
We’ve got an unopened tin of Heroes and half a pack of Matchmakers left from Christmas. I’m not fussed about chocolate and MrJ will have a couple of sweets once a week maybe. They might be finished by Easter.
