Who's on the no snacking after tea train? Starts tonight or tomorrow. Whenever suits you. All aboard!

*Fridays are exempt for me.

Hmm, I'll try. No guarantees. Sometimes chocolate just jumps into my mouth.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can only do your best. There's a difference between enjoying a row or two of chocolate and eating the whole block. Which does happen more than I'd like to admit.

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Well to be fair, with shrinkflation the blocks ain't as big as they used to be.

There is one day a month this happens to me. The next day I'm like, yep, that explains the chocolate last night.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Are they chocolate frogs?

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I veto this proposal

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Overruled

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You can’t overrule a veto, only challenge the right

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Indeed you were. Next proposal please

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’m probably going to fail since I have a choc chip muffin here waiting for me.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Have that muffin. Enjoy that muffin and join us when you are ready.

Does gin count as a snack?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago

Certainly not.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

OK, I'm in, starting tomorrow.

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Alright I'm in. I've got nothing to lose except puddingy middle aged woman belly. I find if I have a cup of tea as soon as I get home and then another after dinner, I'm less likely to indulge in treats, which is odd. It is how I gave up the booze now I think of it πŸ€”
