Right, confession time.

Last easter my missus was reading some sunday supplement or another and and they reviewed various easter eggs. The daddy was one that Godiva were doing - almost an inch of milk chocolate with a dark chocolate outer shell and crammed full of chocs - so I went and got her one. 60-odd sheets it cost me. Yep, that's right, 60-odd sheets for a bleedin easter egg.

She ate half of it and the chocs inside over the following few weeks but the remaining half has been sitting in the fridge for a year now. I keep going on at her about it but the answers I was getting were unstaisfactory to say the least.

Anyway, I've come in tonight, gone to get a beer, seen this bloody thing still sitting there and have just scoffed the bleedin thing.

I don't feel the slightest bit bad about it, but the quesion is : should I be?

    No way!
    But still expect a right old telling off!
    My mum used to do the same when I used to live at home, she'd leave a chocolate bar (just a Dairy Milk for example) in the fridge for months on end. I'd see it starring at me every time I opened the fridge and in the end I'd give in and munch it. Within litterally half an hour that'd be it, she'd hit the roof! By the by I still stand by I did the right thing every time, chocolate is for eating and not for watching!

    He then sat down to watch a nice musical !

    What is it with women and chocolate ? How do they have the restraint to make a bar last a fortnight by only eating one or two squares a day ?

    They're tough minded, i'll give them that

    can't do dark chocolate, it's like ready salted crisps only grown ups eat it

    Don't be silly - I had the beer too, and a couple more as I was munching my way through it.

    I haven't said anything to her about it - am gonna see if she notices.

    I was like that too until I was anaemic; was told dark chocolate is actually high in iron - couldnt get enough of the stuff after then!

    tell her it was past the sell by date so you had to throw it out - expensive chocolate just doesn't keep.....

    having thought about this all day, i still can't believe you paid sixty notes for an Easter Egg !!

    Either the wealth divide between Sidcup and New Eltham is greater than i thought, or you was on a severe guilt trip at the time.....

    Looking back mate - neither can I. (I think it was actually 64 or 65!)

    and I thought I was pushing the boat out paying £19:00 for one from Hotel Chocolate ! (I put this down to a guilt trip for skipping valentines. Well after 23 years it gets a bit lame innit?)
