Lets hope they last for christmas and I dont guzzle them before I can give them away :cross:
I have this trouble every year with 3-for 2 offers on Chocolate Oranges. I only need 2 as gifts, so inevitably I eat the 3rd one, and sometimes something even worse happens...!
Hahaha - Do you eat them all ;)

There's a huge box of Celebrations for £5 in Sainsbury's. Well there was last weekend... I do love celebrations....

My hubby only has to worry about my table present (and my main presents of course)!

I take control of all the presents and cards otherwise we would end up with cards being sent in March and all the pressies from the Sainsbury Central!

But to give him credit I never have to worry about the "goodies". He will always pick up the tins of chocs, the bottles of wine etc. I just take responsibility for the main christmas dinner etc but as I usually cook for about 14 I would panic that he would b*y a too small a turkey!

Ah, well, when it comes to presents, I won't accept any that haven't been pre-approved, but I like the idea of a "table present"! Trouble is, it'd be one more to come up with. As for presentation, OH goes to far more trouble than I ever would: I'm not interested in fancy settings, crackers, etc - bring on the food, I say!
