....Put it this way, when I see wine racks in kitchens I am enviouse, if we had one it would have to be filled with empty ones!!!!
Are the new tins of Quality Street, Roses and Celebrations smaller than last year, or am I getting greedy  ?

Bought a bottle of port for Christmas on offer at the Coop. We drank it within a week or two. Bought another one. S'all gone again. Won't be buying any more. Was nice though but a thick head in the morning on a couple of occasions. I love port. I shall henceforth only drink it at other people's houses.

I love Port too but it so does the same to me, Big headache......I went for a Christmas retreat with my family and they had a bottle of sherry and cake for a welcome pressie, know one tried the sherry so I drank it, its strange as I often fancy a glass but more than one glass is always too much and makes me feel quite ill in the morning.....to me, a sherry seems a lovely Christmas drink......as a child, on Christmas Eve, mum would give me a very diluted Port and Lemonade to help me get to sleep, it worked!!!!
I still feel guilty about my Lab eating a fishermans lunch on our walkies around Gartmorn Dam......poor chap!!

I haven't bought any either.  Need a smug emoticon

Not buying them and not eating them is no reason for smugness - buying them and not eating them is 

I have bought Christmas sweeties and not eaten them though.  (Very smug)

They've been in the house for more than 24 hours and it's killing me (Not so smug)

[happygolucky]

I think on reading all the posts I will leave buying Christmas sweeties until Christmas Eve!!

I bought a bottle of gin for over Christmas. One of those damned dogs has drunk half of it already

[SallyintNorth]

You have all inspired me to be realistic and know I wouldn't keep them till Xmas, so to not buy them till Xmas Eve, as usual!    Thanks!

oooh stop it!!!!!

I tried very hard not to open the Christmas tin of sweets but gave up over the weekend.  Christmas pies are also one of the things I cannot keep in my cupboard as they just shout eat me every time i look in the cupboard. Wine not bought yet as again we would be too tempted. Not planning to buy spirits this year as we have give up the hard stuff getting too expensive.

Definitely SMALLER! I used to use old choccie tins as cake tins. I tried to put a cake in a Quality Street tin at the weekend and couldnt close the lid. Now, Im not a bad cook but even MY cakes dont rise THAT much
