anybody trying hard not to buy some Christmas goodies now instead of in Dec?
It's agony not being able to eat stollen anymore, Aldi's is so good!!!
then there's libakuken, stollen bites, choc santa's etc etc.....
what's your favourite??
Well i dont drink but am a sucker for buying a few boxes of choccies all to myself!!!!!!!!!!!!. I love Roses or Quality Street and they have one with toffees and fudge only this year so im going to have one of those. I normally buy a choccie log but some from certain shops are not as nice as others. I think home made would be better. Mince Pies and custard is my favourite as i dont like Christmas cake or pudding!!. Yum Yum.
going to be virtueous this year making my own stollen, christmas cake, xmas log mmmm
i can't seem to lose weight don't know why 
Ed you don't buy Stollen in our place do you? it's so expensive!! try A*di's there's is so lovely.
I can't buy chocolate or choccy bickies as OH can sniff them out at a 10 mile radius, he's terrible with biscuits he can't leave them alone.
It might be virtuous to make your own katcrazy but it's soooo expensive. I've just made one today and when you think of the cost of raisins, currants, sultanas, glace cherries, almonds, mixed peel, lemon, flour, eggs, butter, spices, brown sugar, eggs and treacle. Then there's a cake board, marzipan, icing, decorations and brandy to soak it. (I had to get two lge bottles for mine, I think one and a half bottles evaporated) It's not cheap! I don't even eat it but I like making it and hubby will eat the lot. 
All the other chocolate is for the stockings ck. Son and hubby are getting through the chocolate in the drawer. I did actually have a Cadbury's Caramel about a week ago. They've certainly shrunk, but just as well as it was sooooo sweet and sickly. I had a job eating it but I was determined.
I got a little catalogue thing for A***is through the door, they have some really good things in it and good value too. There is one a couple of minutes from me but i have only been once as i did not think they were much good. It was when they just opened though so i should give them another try!.
all chocolate seems to be too sweet for me nowadays, except Aldi chocolate. I can manage a small piece of that every now and then.
I saw a long bar of Crunchie in Tesco on Monday. I thought it was just one bar, about two feet long, but I'm not sure now, reading about the Smarties. 
I think we should protest about this blatant con!!
How misleading and fake is it to say its a massive tube of smarties, crunchie etc when it isn't its just a big box 
I nearly got conned when they did this with jaffa cakes and put them in a really long box.
yes cg xxx making your own cakes etc is expensive I try to buy in all year round and the resist drinking all the brandy from the last trip to good food show lol but I do enjoy making them and yes it all goes I have got large family of gannets
we have loads of those crunchies in work, they're all getting bent and broken as people pick them up to see if they're one big crunchie and then are disappointed when they see they're just 4 bars you can get for £1!!!!
Most Christmas and Easter stuff is a rip off, you can't beat a chocklit santa though
