The Sad Tale of the Thorntons Chocolates

Before I begin I should just say that anyone who gets easily upset should avoid reading this post.

On Thursday night I decided to do some ironing while watching Eastenders. As ever, I was in the mood for chocolate, so I decided to dip into the last of the large box of Thorntons that I was given as a leaving present (yes there were some left!). I got the box from the cupboard, opened the lid and placed the box on the coffee table - I could then dip in as I was ironing.

I began my chore and ate a chocolate (yes just one). After I had finished I went to see my boyfriend who was doing some work in the garage. (At this point I think it is worth mentioning that we have a 16 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrior cross.) I returned to the livingroom and to my dismay the Thorntons' box was upside down on the floor and all the chocolates were gone! I can't remember how many were left but I know that 2 of them were wrapped in foil but foil is obviously no obsticle for our dog! As you may beable to imagine my boyfriend's words of comfort - 'but the ones that were left weren't your favourites' - did nothing to make me feel better - THEY WERE THORNTONS CHOCOLATES!

Anyway, I've got that off my chest! By the way our dog is fine after his chocolate indulgance.
