Some kind of chocolate overload
I got an absolutely killer deal from Thorntons with the help of a surprisingly thriftly and attentive friend, and so I've ordered about £55 worth of assorted chocolates, fudge, toffee and general sweet things for the princely sum of £23.50 including delivery.

My family told me we were having a budget-conscious Christmas this year. I like to think I'm just buying into the spirit in a slightly alternative way...

THE most amazing chocolates I have ever tasted, I don't have them often though, Christmas, Birthdays and I will occassionally get some for a bash if I'm going ot one in Leeds.

no chocolate is worth the absurd prices they charge

Seconded...
Thorntons tastes like 'doggie chocolates' in comparison.

best thing to do with thornton's chocolates
is to buy 2 continental bars, one cappuccino and one sicilian lemon. eat them by taking alternate bites of each bar. the lovely rich coffee taste of the cappuccino bar is wonderfully offset by the zesty, refreshing taste of the lemon bar.
