        We have one square of dark chocolate (85% cocoa )with our mid morning coffee. I only break off one small square each and place it on the tray......if the rest of the bar is put back out of sight then the temptation for a 2nd square is gone.:heehee::dbgrtmb:

          Hubby has the dark chocolate as well, just one square.

          Friday afternoons are for washing my hair.

          Oh no! It has to be Cadbury's Dairy Milk or nothing.

            I keep my stash in a tin (old Roses tin) by the bed, usually only 2 squares if I need it. It actually eases nausea for me.

                My excuse is that I (genuinely!) have an erratic blood sugar level and a couple of squares of chocolate....

                  Been hectic the last few weeks as we are looking at moving down to Cornwall. My companion is there now viewing and if she likes the property then it’s the start of rushing about to sell our properties and a start of a new life as a retired gardener.
                  Strange but the place we have in mind has artificial grass!! Don’t think I’ll be cutting that and giving it all the treatments.
                  Have to be honest part of me will miss the gardening but my poor hands will thank me as I’ve damaged nerves through vibration.

                      Thanks Upsydaisy.
                      We normally have our holidays in Cornwall and it’s so relaxed and chilled out down there. Dogs love it it too!

                          Thanks Logan. She’s viewing the property today so fingers crossed she likes it. It’s a lovely place, brand new with just about everything you could dream of. A 92 reading on the EPC so she will be cosy as can be.

                            My companion was over the moon with the view :phew: have to say being 270 miles away waiting to hear her thoughts made me nervous but excited so to hear she loves the house is great. Shes back to estate agent tomorrow after today’s visit.
                            The hardest part will be letting my customers know I’m moving away, some I’ve worked for for over 11 years.
