Settled down to watch Xfactor last night, with a nice glass of red wine and a packet of fruit pastils (as you do). Started to open them and hubby demands he wants a black one! Get stuffed was obviously my reply ;D However, he then said, he would eat the 3rd sweet down in the pack, to which I agreed. Opened them up ..........3rd sweet was black! To make matters worse - IT WAS THE ONLY BLOOMIN BLACK ONE IN THE WHOLE PACK!!!!!!!  The rest of the pack were orange and yukky green, with not even a red one to perk me up  Whoever packed that packet, had an evil streak! |

Lovepink did you can get fruit pastils that just have the red and black one's in them? Now that was nuaghty to tell me that! Dashed out and got a packet (family size obviously) and proceeded to stuff the entire bag into mouth - 2 or 3 at a time! I did give hubby 2 (he is a natural skinny person) and then he waived his hand and declared himself FULL ! Whats that all about!  No-wonder I will never be skinny! How can anyone possibly be full until the entire bag of sweeties is gone ?  ;D Really MUST STOP BUYING SWEETIES !!!  |

I quite often sit here on HG with a family sized bag of aero bubbles and one of minstrels.....................and im the only 1 in the house, when the others return theres no sign that there was any chocolate in the house at all. What they don't know can't hurt them  |

Lovepink maybe we should arrange a sharing agreement, green are my absolute favorite, then orange then yellow. I dislike red and detest black.....I normally throw them in the bin!!!! Annoyingly my packets seem to be mostly black and red ones!!! YACK!!

Oooh Yes, part sharing agreement needs to be set up ;D ;D Mind you - if I moved over to wine gums as suggested - I might become Waifer thin, for the first time ever ! I like wine gums but they stick in your teeth a bit dont they ! |

I am a real sweet fanatic, we have a sweetie jar at work and I'm the only one trusted to look after it ;D - what they don't know is that I secretly have one when they're not looking

God I do that all the time! Already half way through a huge xmas tin of ROSES! They had a special offer on at Tesco, £5 for a tin of celebrations/heros/etc etc - ordered the heros, but they sent the Roses as a substitute!
Oh dear - better eat them up - so I can order the Heros again!

LOL - these men are SO STINGEY !
I also fell off the nibbles waggon today and bought 3 giant family size tubs of CHRISTMAS pea nuts:-
Extra large salted
Spicy chillie (worth a try?)
Dry roasted
How long do you think these tubs will last?

brindlerainbow - the best thing to do is to move them off the top of the fridge into the bottom of your wardrobe then tell OH they're in a safe place as you can't keep looking at them then secretly open them when he's downstairs!!!!
Or, get yourself another couple of tins and leave the one's you've already got for Xmas!!!
Those spice chilli peanuts have a bit of a kick to them lovepink!!!!!
