Lots of treats this weekend as it is my birthday today. Fresh flowers and chocolates from both kids and an invite to dinner later this week when oldest grandson is home from uni for the weekend.
In addition, last Friday at the Seniors' Centre Volunteer Appreciation lunch there were more gifts and chocolate and I also won a raffle prize - a couple of kitchen gadgets which I plan to exchange. The lunch was quite delicious and there was a huge cake for dessert. Our local councillor was in attendance to hand out certificates; there were about 30 of us recognized for our efforts on behalf of the seniors. Lastly, one of my tennis friends produced my favourite Lindor truffles at the courts on Sunday as an early Birthday present and I am ashamed to say I ate them all in one go that night while watching TV!
Having consumed so much chocolate over the last two days I am determined to cut back on my chocolate consumption for the next week or so but will finish what I have in the house first. No point in leaving temptation in the way of my good resolve!
Happy Birthday for yesterday. I too love Lindor truffles and like you have to finish them as soon as possible. Happy October as well

I haven't had any chocolate today except for a small choc chip cookie with my morning coffee.
DeleteHappy Belated birthday, Sept 30 was DD1's birthday too. Any Lindor chocolate is delicious and I would have eaten the ones you received all in one go too.
ReplyDeleteThe other choc bar was a Tiramisu flavoured Aero bar and it was seriously yummy!
DeleteIn your defence, it is actually illegal not to finish a box of Lindor chocolates as soon as possible once they are opened!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly!
DeleteNow I don't feel so guilty knowing I am not the only chocolate addict.
ReplyDeleteAs a treat this week (and because they were on sale), I purchased some mint patties.... I have been eying them ever since. I think I just might have finished those Lindor chocolates in one evening as well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I have very little self control!
DeleteBelated Birthday Wishes, Chris. Lindor chocolates are delicious. Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jules. Yes, Lindor is the best!
ReplyDeleteSending along very happy belated birthday wishes. A good plan to remove all temptation :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, MaryLou. I am on the last choc bar, will be done by the weekend. Can I resist buying more?
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday - it’s always important to show appreciation for a chocolate gift by eating it immediately 🤣

I'm late with birthday wishes. It does sound like you had a good one. Especially with the chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI would've eaten them all too. They are hard to resist that's for sure.
