    The OH a few weeks ago bought a tin of Quality street and a tin of Roses.
    The QS didnt last long except ehen she went to open them for the toy show there was only the Orange and Strawberry ones left.
    She had the cheek to blame me and warned me about eating the Roses.
    Now more than half the Roses are gone, wrappers left in tin cos I cant risk putting them in the bin.
    I pigged out on them last night as I stayed at home while she was at her work do.
    I fear that when I remember to buy the fresh tin THEY will be sold out.
    This would never happened in the boom as we nearly bought a tin for everyone so I could hide my discretion now its different in the recession.
    What to do?
    Your thoughts?

    Buy more roses.
    They never sell out. At christmas, this country stocks up on tins of roses and we have enough to feed an African country.

    Well, you've saved the wrappers, so do a big pooh, don the Marigolds and start fashioning Walnut Whips and the like out of your faecal matter.

    Then sit back after Christmas dinner and watch the in-laws' faces as they realise that something isn't quite right.

    I've got a contact. He could have you out of the country on a new passport before she gets home.

    Alternatively, we could have her killed.

    Failing that we could stage a break in where the burglar was a fat chocolate munchin baxtard.

    Let me know, I can be your friend on this.

    1./ Replace the chocolates when she is out Christmas shopping or wasting time gossiping with the neighbours.

    or

    2./ Don't bother. You are by now a total fat bastad and will die of a heart attack in about 3 days.

    replace them all with celebrations to make her think she is a mentalist

    Don't be a fat sad bastard. Your OP reminds me of this guy. Let it be a warning.

    Roses and Quality Street, the default of a country that hasn't a clue what good chocolate tastes like.

    They'll be selling them all come Christmas eve for €4.99 a tin.


    The shops sell tins of this stuff one minute past 12 at night after Halloween for people that buy tins of sweets and can't keep them for Christmas. They'll probably have sold you a 4 tins before Christmas week even hits.

    After all these years, I'm still in mourning for the loss of coffee cremes from the tin of Roses. How could you do this to me Cadbury's?!!:mad:

    Buy a new tin of QS and put them in the Roses tin and tape the tin up again.

    Then get her to open it...
