Seasonal Goods

With Christmas done and dusted now that we’re in January I’m feeling rather portly cos I ate, drank and got merry With twenty pounds upon my waist and ten pounds on my legs The last thing that I need is shops crammed full of Easter eggs

Hello Terry ... can you believe this. Hot Cross Buns hit the shelves on Dec 27th. What next Terry - Lindsay

Oh, I believe it alright… what’s worse… today, I nearly bought some. What’s left of my sanity stopped me though. Phew! The world has actually gone mad, Lindsay. Terry

Brilliant Terry and indeed true, Cadbury crème eggs are everywhere, the bigger ones will be blocking up the aisles soon, consumerism will indeed be our death, cheers David

Lol, Don’t stop there Terry, you where going great guns Fearsome opening lines for a rant or slam,

You go to all the right shops, David. In the tawdry retail establishments that I frequent, the aisles are choc-a-bloc full of ‘the bigger ones’… and they are watching us… and they’ll make us eat them… and we shall incubate their spawn… and we shall squeeze out little baby ‘bigger ones’ and we shall nurture them…….. SORRY… that’s a whole different poem ;-) Terry

My late wife could not wait for Cadbury Easter Eggs, so they were a very EASY buy for Valentine's Day . . . .Enjoyed, Terry! Aloha!

Sounds like the shops are skipping Valentine's day...So, maybe you'll lose weight ;)

You may be right, P.S. I still like a yummy Easter egg but I preferred them when they were two distinct halves and not just an empty chocolate bubble. Terry

Oh, I know how you feel, Terry. I put on ten pounds before Christmas even got started. Now, I'm trying to back away, put some shove away into every meal, and avoid those starches. Alas, chocolate Easter eggs.....no, No, NO! But how I love them!

Well, yes, for at least a month or so....some time for me to drop these extra Christmas pounds!
