There's only orange/strawberry cremes left in the tin of Roses
You have a lump of cheese - something like white stilton, with cranberries and blueberries, seemed like a good idea at the time!
You still have a Christmas pudding, unopened, (and one from the year before, and the year before that in the back of the pantry but you buy every year, 'just in case'
The only thing left in the After Eight box is the little envelopes

Only one I have is the white stilton but mine's with apricots. Won't get left though as hubby loves it. Didn't buy any of the rest as it's only us two.
I think I like all those left-overs except the mouldering fruit. So hang on, pack them in a box and I will send round shortly to finish them off for you.
