Hi Virginia, thanks for the visit and as you may already have seen, I've caved and the chocolate is being consumed as we speak. Ah well. Self control was nice whilst it lasted...

Holy cow! I'm with the other commenters. I would have had the chocolate consumed well before the pile of straw grew so high!

GPM. you're right, there is chocolate left. But probably not for much longer...

Aims, Easter is... not close enough.

You have an iron will to go through this many straws and no chocolate consumption. I hope you have found some other treat to compensate.

Each and every straw just cracked me up!!
What the hell - Easter is how far away??

I'm testing out the chocolate/hit rate theory on my blog. Controlled experiment, you understand. I found the thing that increased my hit rate most was the picture I used of a nun smoking a bong.

I'm impressed with your evident strength of character btw. Even after straw 6 - we wait in anticipation - there's clearly some chocolate left.

Pig, I'm deeply hurt. I can - and will - provide proof if you want to come and see for yourself. (And by the way, do you take your tea French or English style these days? And would you care for some chocolate with that?)

J's Mommy - anyone who claims NOT to be an emotional eater clearly has had much too easy a life!

I would have had that chocolate consumed by straw one. You are a strong, strong lady. God bless you. I'm an emotional eater. I'm emotional before I eat it and emotional while I eat it and then emotionally guilty after I eat it. *sigh*

hmmmm, now you do have my sympathies, really you do. It's tough with a husband away - especially when he so clearly nearly amputated his entire lower torso - and it's rough being the only grown up in charge. In spite of this - nay, indeed, BECAUSE of this - i'm going to come out and say what i SUSPECT everyone else is thinking.
I'm not sure I believe that you HAVEN'T eaten the chocolate. I know we're all supposed to be loving and supportive in blogland, but perhaps it was something about you talking about your hit rate and your overuse of the word chocolate...(btw, try writing 'naked Britney Spears smeared in Chocolate' that'll send your hit rate north)

I'm beginning to wonder about you Potty Mummy...

I think we need to have proof.

Hardcore photographic filth - I want to see the full bag of chocolate!!

Pigx
I'm coming round later to check - I know where you live.

Iota, spot on, I need to start recruiting troubled friends / family immediately. I can see it now; the phone rings and a friend tells me she's lost her job / house / cat / boyfriend. After a suitable interval of placatory talk I will say; "and I've got just the thing to cheer you up!"

Of course, when I visit to drop them off, I will end up consuming at least of them myself (and regret sharing them in the first place...)

Ped, thankyou. It did help. Until Straw 6...

2008-03-11T02:33:00.000Z

Well I think if you've got through those straws without succumbing, then your will power is very impressive. But I think the final straw will be this: you bought the chocolate for only the vaguest of purpose ('presents at Easter'), and unless some valid and useful reason for the purchase presents itself, there will continue to be no real reason why you shouldn't eat the chocolate, and so you will. You need a neighbour who needs cheering up, or an ailing mother, or a friend with boyfriend troubles, or some such. The matter is really out of your hands.

What is it about Moscow and husbands? I remember a few years back when my husband phoned from Moscow to tell me 1) that he'd missed his flight to the nether regions of Russia and so had to stay in Moscow for the night but 2) he'd left all his credit cards at home.
I don't quite remember how we resolved it, though.
