Title: Roses chocs.
Post by: Borlotti on October 02, 2012, 15:35:10
Just finished my first tin of Roses chocs, that were bought for Xmas.  Co-op have offer for two tins, so maybe one will last till Xmas. (Dream on). May switch to Quality Street.  Think it was only six tins last year (before Xmas).  Lucky I am so thin, so need to put a bit of weight on.  :happy7:  Well the tins are useful for seeds, biscuits, cakes.  That is my excuse.

I think you can compost the papers from Quality Street Borlotti so there's another good reason to buy & eat them. I shan't be buying them as OH will over indulge, I'm cured (I hope, almost 4 stone down & 1stone 9lbs to go :icon_cheers:)

I heard you have a couple of containers in the back of your house to put all the empty tins in :toothy10:

Good one ACE. Council are dealing with the containers (hopefully). Actually I do put the chocs in a bowl for everyone, so am not that greedy.
