Just Thrown Away

[Bobbisox1]

Over a half a tin of Roses
Same Quality Street
After Eights
And 3x Turkish Delights
They were all opened so wouldn’t give them to anyone and OH is diabetic
The cutting back starts here, got a holiday to go to in March,
Feeling determined

[ummmm]

I don't buy chocs. I'm like a child, I eat jelly and ice cream :-)

I haven't chucked out anything so far. Quite impressed with myself.

This is about Easter but it applies to Christmas:
‘ You can also donate to your local homeless shelter. There are many children who are caught up in the homelessness cycle and getting that extra bunny or two that would have sent you into a diabetic coma anyway, would make their day and you nearest can be found with a quick Google search’

? old folks home? just explain circumstances.

[lady-janine]

also go along with zacs suggestion.

just explain why.

[Prudie]

ooh what sacrilege :-) I'd be able to take all that lot to work, leave it in the staff kitchen and it would all be gone in a couple of hours.

[Bobbisox1]

I just felt it rude to give people stuff we’d left but yes, there is a side to it that I could of explained , too late now as they’re in the bin

[Bobbisox1]

I probably would of when I worked Prudie :0)

[roopower]

What a waste

[Bobbisox1]

Roopower, I hope I’ve explained adequately why they went in the bin?
I thought it rude to offer anyone stuff that had just been discarded, but now I know what I’d do in future

I have put on a few lbs over the last few weeks so I'm back on myfitnesspal! Got to lose a stone by Easter as we're off to Cyprus :o)

[Bobbisox1]

I love Cyrus Tiggs, what side ? We always stayed with friends who lived there in a villa high above Paphos but they sold up to come back here as the male was losing a lot on his private pension, £ against the € as I understand it

[diddlydo]

You could also have kept them for visitors/friends or kept them until next Christmas.

[Bobbisox1]

*CYPRUS*

[Bazile]

You should be hanged, drawn and quartered and then be forced to do 100 hrs community work

[Bobbisox1]

Diddlydo, my OH has a very sweet tooth and on his recent diabetic review on Jan 2nd, his sugar levels were the highest since 2014 so I thought it best to remove any temptation and I’ll lose weight too, Boom!

[jennyjoan]

Bobbs - I have done likewise altho it was just half a tin of Quality Street, then I got up on Friday night and threw out some other sweets.

I have quite a large box of Milk Tray (unopened) and they will be going somewhere tomorrow. Felt so guilty but all that sugar is not good.

[Bobbisox1]

Where? In a sweet factory Baz? :0/

[Bobbisox1]

True JJ, so all traces have been removed but next time ( and there’ll be a next time) I’ll do as advised

[tiggerblue10]

We're flying to the South, Bobbi, then transfer to the North where I'm from. We're staying at a 5* hotel ;o) Haven't had a proper holiday in over 2 years so splashing out.

[tiggerblue10]

We had very little chocolate here so luckily Little Tiggs is eating his way through the Lindt bunnies and gold coins that are left.
