Chocolate

No Wim we didn't get to the Chocolate Museum, went round a Brewery though.

Actually the Chocolate moment of the trip was when Johnnie D asked for hot chocolate in one establishment and was brought a cup of hot milk and a small container of chocolate drops so you could determine your own strength, in fact the container was chocolate too so it all went in.  John pronounced it GREAT.

Oh yeah, we love our beers too

That's wonderful, isn't it?  Until a couple of years ago you only received hot chocolate like that in the chocolate bars; now more and more tea rooms and pubs do it too...

I don't believe even I eat 11 kilos of chocolate in a year.

At the beginning of 2012 I shall buy 11 kgs and see how much is left at the end of the year. Will have to mortgage the house though.

Lesley my favourite is Asda White chocolate buttons, 3 bags for a £1 . Each bag is 70g I wonder how many bags I would have to eat to get to my 11 kilos of chocolate. I would be willing to give it a try but could I wait till 2012 to start. 

Wim see what you have started

You would need to eat 3 bags a week Angie, with an extra bag as a treat on your birthday. 

Once upon a time I could manage that quite easily, however after 8 years attending "Fat Club" I could still manage it easily I just chose not to as I know how much exercise I would need to do to burn off the calories. 

sometimes it's just better not to know, ignorance is bliss.

Susan

Should I be honest, I wonder. Well ok I will be. I can eat three bags in one night   
Susan I can't believe you were ever in a fat club, as for me I was a fatty when I was young and even though I lost a bit of weight a few years ago it's creeping back on again. It used to upset me being overweight but since my sister died my attitude has changed. Life is very short so i try and not fret about my weight. But I suppose eating three bags of White chocolate buttons won't help  I blame Asda, they shouldn't sell three bags for £1

Angie,

I have a similar problem with Thorntons, they always seem to have a sale on and are practically giving chocolates away ......  to make it worse the shop is right next to the entrance to the gym.
