    Love the ornament!

    I spent some time stalking the Disney Store yesterday - my sister is going to Disneyland Paris in November, I'm hoping she'll bring me back a Christmas bauble!

    Just realised I will need to buy two 'Baby's First Christmas' cards this year for my nephew born in March and another nibling due in December! Aww.

    Taste of Dublin is doing a festive edition this year from the 28th November to 1st December. I'm thinking of heading to the early Friday session, drink drink drink, eat eat eat and home for the Toy Show.

    Just so people know the Crunchie in the Heroes is little bits of Honeycomb with chocolate and not a solid piece of honeycomb dipped in chocolate.(I hope that makes sense)

    Essential but not as smooth as the malteasers. More hard and crunchy if that makes sense.

    Do you mean January to December? :pac:

    I actually found a really lovely recipe for homemade chocolates the other day. I'm waiting for the weather to cool down a bit so I can test them out as an option for Christmas.

    As much as I like chocolate I can only eat it in small amounts, a tub of quality street here, a tub there, that kind of thing.

    All messing aside, I actually dont eat that much of it, but there is something about christmas (& to a slightly lesser extent easter) that brings out the choccy monster in me & I eat far too much of the stuff. And at the rate I can put on weight that is not a good thing!

    I actually don't eat that much chocolate either, and I'm a complete chocolate snob. Hate Cadburys. If I went into a shop I'd struggle to find a bar I'd want to eat. Kinder Bueno maybe. We buy a couple of packs of Hotel Chocolat chocolates every few weeks and I might have one in the evening.

    I'm like that with baked goods. Bread, brownies, cookies, if I can bake it I will eat it. All of it. In one sitting. I don't though. It's very sad.
