Problem is, if I pay £1 for 4 Mars Bars or Double Deckers they will last approximately 10 minutes and I will not just buy 1 pack but probably 10 lol,
That was my problem.😱
I think the word for it is Pig.

Lovely wasn't it lol
 
I got a wee box malteeasers before Xmas, and the devil got behind me. Before you could say bu&&#r off, they were munched and enjoyed. Wrapped the other boxes up, but did buy and eat a big tube of smarties. Next year, not buying sweets as Xmas pressies. I am sure there is a chemical in them that is addictive, or I am part of your pig family vince lol
 
Tried a malteaser easter bunny last year, was far too sweet so I wouldn't have that problem x

Welcome to the Family lol:D
You should see my Son,
Supposedly on a diet his wife has enforced on him, Eats then sneaks out and orders Chinese takeaways and all other stuff and 1 ton of chocolate.
I have warned him but falling on deaf ears.
HIs mother is T1 and i was diagnosed T2
HIgh risk but....... what do I know?
I will not mention the copious amount of alcohol he gets through at weekends even though he professes to have stopped drinking.
DIfficult to keep a straight face when he tells me he is on diet.
Everyone knows what he is doing lol
 
Well it’s up to him to self control but as you have said, you can only advise and he can react if he wants to. Aye right is one response but maybe not the most acceptable. Does he know the changes you have made? You still can’t help worrying

Sorry not well at mo in bed so if I’ve not read this right forgive me. The pic appears to be in wrap - how did you buy it as part of a box of chocolates? I have a contact there who is helpful and could ask for you

Yes it was in a Gift Box that my partner got for my Christmas x
 
Ah I see. Can you let me know the name of gift box? Also description from package - was it just 70% chocolate with nibs? I’m going there next week (if better) will ask my contact for you if they’re likely to bring bar out. x
