Fierce and Festive Fleecy Dec 2017 7:47pm, 7 Dec 2017 38,751 posts	Fierce and Festive Fleecy I bought 2 massive ones at the uni market today at a quid each. Bloke was trying to sell me 6 for 3 quid, I asked if he was trying to give me heart disease! Ds2 said they are not very nice so I will try one, half would be a whole normal size one anyway!

TRO Toddslayer Dec 2017 9:23am, 8 Dec 2017 15,806 posts	TRO Toddslayer 34.5 The two boxes of mince pies in the fridge remain unopened :-), plan is not to touch them until I get home from work on Friday 22nd December. A mighty challenge of discipline and denial, but I'm up for the fight.....
um Dec 2017 9:54am, 8 Dec 2017 72 posts	um TRO a) why the fridge? b) watch out for rats (see TYWTSBC thread) and eat them quickly ! Still on 1 a day after lunch - does every one count?
TRO Toddslayer Dec 2017 10:03am, 8 Dec 2017 15,807 posts	TRO Toddslayer 34.5* *someone eat 0.5 for gawd's sake Dunno Um, Mrs TRO stores them there. My plan is not eat, not touch, ignore. If the Rats get 'em I'll be delighted - will help me reach Dec 22nd (although I may be mildly disappointed on the 22nd itself).
cackleberry Dec 2017 10:11am, 8 Dec 2017 1,483 posts	cackleberry Best ones I've ever had were from our local pub, served with the coffee and mints at the end of our meal. Oh my. They were made of that real thin, crispy pastry and didn't have a lid but did have alot of alcohol soaked fruit. I'm drooling just thinking about them...
