I looked at some 80% supermilk but it had more carbs than the 65% with hazelnuts (they’re whole hazelnuts). 14 servings for the Yule log is very optimistic, although it looks very rich. My Dad likes dark chocolate too. His wife doesn’t so we may get it all to ourselves! The Hotel Chocolat range is quite unpredictable - can’t just judge by the cocoa percentage.

I know its weird it has more carbs but it was a pressie and bought by son who thought the higher % cocoa the better - other prob with HC is that the print on the small bars is so small it makes sense to do your homework before you go into the shop so you don't have to peer at lots of wrappers!!!

Now there’s a woman after my own heart.

Cold here too. Wearing one of my many new jumpers! Just back from Pilates (seems to be the day for Pilates/Yoga) which brought my BG down to the lowest reading of the day. Freezing in the hall though. Will need a new Pilates jumper ;)

Lunch was M&S Serrano ham and manchego cheese rollitos.

Dinner was 2 Waitrose free range Cumberland sausages, 3 rashers streaky bacon and 1 fried egg followed by a little piece of deliciousness: 27g of Hotel Chocolat 65% supermilk chocolate with hazelnuts. Was worried it would be too sweet, but not so. Very smooth and very rich. Bodes well for the supermilk advent calendar @shelley262 - I also bought one of those. Nutty Yule Log has arrived at my Dad’s.

Omg I’m setting my alarm early!
Been looking all week - I’d promised eldest daughter one for Christmas in a rash moment. Yahoo!

Late posting as we went out straight after dinner.
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: chorizo and Gouda rollitos with cauliflower and broccoli salad followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid afternoon: raspberry chia pudding and black coffee.
Dinner: extra strong cheddar omelette with cauliflower and broccoli salad followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.

Thanks! Ordered one in a flurry of excitement and then reconsidered and cancelled the order!! Had to be realistic about storage space and likely usage. If the mini one ever shows up here that would be an option - have been keeping an eye out for that.

Its easy to get carried away isn’t it? I was thinking about my daughter’s tiny kitchen last night and wondering where she’s going to put it - when I’ve taken mine round there we’ve had to put a chopping board on the hob and put it on that - not ideal.

It's a fabulous price Gg, but I get what you say about space.

Can we stop with all the advent calendar, jumpers and IP talk please - bringing on my conniptions again. I have an IP, loads of jumpers, from M to XL, but have never in 63.5 years had an advent calendar.

Sure is. Even my flat was bought on the fly - saw ads for new builds on the train and before you knew it I was in the sales office paying a deposit. That was a good decision though.

Sure your daughter will love her IP.

£79.99
Got one for my daughter, it was quite exciting waiting up til midnight watching for it with the FB group.
Thanks ever so much for the heads up

Yes I spotted it and I'm glad everyone else was alerted. Only £10 more than what I paid for mine through the Good Food subscribers club.
Sorry @ianpspurs! They also have the spare sealing ring at £5.99.
