Thanks Bean_Believer,
I signed up for the Chocolate Connoisseurs club from Seventy Percent as a present for Karin (my wife) as she is a great chocolate lover amongst other things.
She will get a chocolate surprise every month now for the next year. She simply loves the combination of good coffee and chocolate.

Coffee and chocolate work wonderfully well together.

I admire your will power however; if I were to get my wife a present of chocolate, I would eat most of it myself!

We purchased a large box of 'Quality Street' for the weekend. Ok it's not Belgian Cream Liquors, but it's perfect over Halloween, when the neighbouring kids come 'trick or treat'.
With any luck, they won't call this year and we'll eat them all. Deadline is 9pm.

Moral is - always read posts carefully - I thought you meant eat the kids :twisted: but then again...
