I am in a quandary. When Julia went to work this morning she left five chocolates in the box from yesterday, and a clear explanation of what would happen if there weren’t at least three left when she returned.
An hour or two I found myself looking at an empty box. I’, mot sure what happened, and this isn’t really the place to discuss it, but we seem to have been the victims of some sort of specialist robber.
I bought a replacement box when I shopped this afternoon and the box is sitting on the coffee table waiting to be eaten.
The question is – do I eat most of the chocolates to reduce the numbers to five (and endanger my diet) or do I leave the box full and hope she doesn’t notice?
After all, if she sees it has filled up again she might think it is a magic box and might expect it to fill up every morning…
What would you do?
You get yourself into some real pickles! 🙂
Yes, I do. We went to Thorntons yesterday for coffee, cake and Christmas presents. They force a chocolate on you when you have a coffee. 🙂

Good heavens! 🙂
🙂
OOOO, you are in big and deep! Laughing all the way!
I managed to dig my way out – years of practice. 🙂
Hide the superfluous ones in a place she won’t look
Good plan, but too late to save me… 🙂
Next time
Next time I’ll photograph the box to ensure the replacement is exact in every detail. 🙂
Eat the full box too.
I settled for half the fullbox, as compromise is at the heart of our marriage. 🙂
Another good decision.
I’m full of them. 🙂
Leave a full box. No doubt, she will think it was a sweet, thoughtful gesture. 😊
No, she thought it was because I’d eaten the others. I’m very predictable…
🙂
Lol! Well, if I were her, and my 5 chocolates were all of a sudden replaced with a full box, I’d be glad they got eaten! Haha!
She didn’t seem too upset, it is true. 🙂
It might just be

Sorry about the slow reply – I couldn’t get any sound. Finally managed it by using subtitles. We used to have magic like that but it faded and I now have to do my own cleaning. If only I could find the magic again…
Ooh a Dilemma there!!
🙂
come clean so that it will hurt both sides less 🙂
She still got extra chocolates – I’m not heartless! 🙂
yes! but she will know they are NOT the same chocolates and you ate them :))))
Well, after a half-hearted attempt to claim it was a magic box I came clean, and am sort of forgiven. 😉
great 🙂 she is a wonderful woman 🙂
I won’t argue with that. 🙂
Oh, boy! A quandry of the highest order. I think I would come clean. Why compound the problem by being sneaky?😉
Well, I tried to pretend it was a magic box, but she didn’t believe me. 🙂
I wonder why. 😉
It’s because I’m easy to outwit, which is a quality she likes in a man. 🙂
Regarding the chocolates, share them and tell her!
I know it’s hard. They are so yummy and scrumptious. 🙂
