Well there - the two of you (Nigel and Dave) have persuaded me to graciously accept these delicious chocolates so as not to disappoint my husband. I shall indeed just have a few. But....the top layer has gone already... how that happened I don't know.

I've also tried to stop drinking that blooming Shloer. It's lovely, but my strict sister has forbidden me to buy any more as it's full of sugar. She says I'll make myself diabetic.

Just got back from Tesco, and a wicked fairy put three bottles of Shloer in the trolley. I'm having a large glass of it as I type.

I'm sure I'll go straight to hell at this rate!
