    Typical that Cadbury’s is releasing a Bournville Easter egg (my childhood dream egg) when I’ve gone right off Cadbury’s and don’t buy Easter eggs any more. 25 years too late, Cadbury’s.

    I do love a bit of Dark Chocolate though, whether that be easter, Christmas or any other time of year, so might have to put in a request to the family that Daddy would appreciate a bournville egg this coming Easter.

    I actually have a large bar of dark chocolate in my desk drawer here & have resisted opening it for a couple of weeks, suspect this thread will tip me over the edge now & I'll be opening it when I get my next coffee.

    I love it too and I really am very tempted by that egg but I'm afraid it will be as disappointing as every other Cadbury product. Tuesday morning is the perfect time to eat a bit of chocolate with your coffee. You've made it through Monday and it's time to celebrate.

    Smashed a big bag of haribo gummy bears after eating my lunch. Bloody hangovers make me very weak. I would go through a whole tin of quality street right now if I could get my hands on one.

    Its shameful, should go for a long run tonight by my will is weak due to the groggy head. All my own fault and on school night.

    Anywho I have more visitors arriving tomorrow so will have to dig out the fold out bed, which is next to all the Chrsitmas decs. I may sneak some in to the house.

    Yes, we said we'll wait until the 1st November to get them. They are €3 now and should be on offer by then.

    Spotted Winter Fruits Skittles in Dealz at lunchtime. The flavours are mandarin & cinnamon, apple & cinnamon, raspberry & cinnamon, pomegranate & cinnamon and blood orange & cinnamon. Basically, if you don't like cinnamon they're probably not for you!

    They could mix things up with a little ginger! The flavours aren't very imaginative.

    That is brilliant, two dinners. Do you score them against each other?

    Believe it or not we would compare and then debate with each other which dinner wins! :P Both dinners are completely different!

    I love cinnamon!! So those Skittles sound lovely! Now I'm craving a hot chocolate with lots of cinnamon!..…...

    Well, there are many people who take and post photos of their coffee and/or drink and/or meal, when they are out.
    Nothing eccentric in taking photos in shops and supermarkets, then !
