    We could blame it on the escapedgoats

    BTW, I'll probably be away if the posts click over to 1000.  No 999, please feel free to name the next thread. I'll look forward to seeing what it is but please not Bre**sh*t!

    Can anyone recommend a good safe or lockbox that is suitable for keeping chocolate locked away in. Must be fully resistant to attacks by pregnant people. :|

    Just don't buy it.  This chocaholic always finds it when OH tries to hide it.

    Mind you, it's probably better for you and your chocaholic just to but it in small quantities.......

    The bigger question is are you fully resistant to attacks by pregnant people when they don't get their chocolate fix?

    It's topic of debate in the household  :#  Buying larger quantities is cheaper but only if it lasts as long as smaller amounts bought over a longer time frame. I also prefer buying the good stuff and making it last. I've been nursing a bar of nice dark chocolate since mid February.

    I'm very curmudgeonly  about the woman in a wee Escort van who made me reverse my big Waitrose van for 3/4 mile .

    But at least you had the gratification of showing her that you were capable of doing it @Hostafan1. 😉 

    Being a liberated female, and having been driving longer than many drivers have been alive, I’m always happy to slip my elderly convertible into reverse and show other drivers how to do it ... I’ve a feeling that many drivers have no idea where their reverse gear is ... either that or some cars are made without one, just as they seem to be made without indicators nowadays 😉

    I always laugh when you see movies where someone has to reverse at high speed to escape an explosion or a rampaging dinosaur or something. 99% of driver I meet on country lanes would be T-rex food at the first slight bend in the road.

    Personally, l would have been eating chocolate (even though l am not pregnant). 
    @wild edges at least it's chocolate and not coal (does anyone know of a pregnant woman who ate coal, or is that an urban myth ?). Coal yards seem to be a very rare thing these days.
