The Friday photo: guilty much?
D next door was away last weekend and I looked after his aged kitty cat. This is my most hated neighbourly favour (kitty litter… bleurgh). He was very grateful, though, and gave me a lovely 1lb box of Cadbury’s Roses. We opened them last night and had a couple. My favourite is the hazelnut whirl, by the way. Today, then, Hubby and I popped out to do the last of our Christmas shopping. We left them up on the bookshelf. The second shelf up on the bookshelf (it is a floor to ceiling bookshelf and only has three shelves). When we were gone, someone took it upon themselves to climb up onto the sofa, teeter upon the arm of the sofa and steal said box of chocolates. That someone then took them to his bed where he proceeded to devour them, wrappers and all.
When we got home and this theft was discovered (someone‘s bed being covered in ripped Cadbury’s Roses box and small bits of chocolate kind of gave it away), someone was busted. There was a bit of bad language and aforementioned someone got ignored by every member of the house all evening (this is much, much worse than shouting) and got only dry food for dinner (much, much worse than being ignored and being shouted at). Someone then took to the sofa where he proceeded to sulk for the rest of the day.
That’s what happens when you eat my hazelnut whirls. Zero tolerance. Be afraid.

Hell, if someone left a one-pounder unguarded, I’d take the consequences too, LOL!
It kinda reminds me of someone’s ex-husband, who came up to Mum’s oneday, who LOVED the purple hazelnuts in caramel… we opened the big tin before hand, removed all of them, and taped the tin back up. Said ex-husband was not happy !!!!!
We use the inside of the highest cupboard in the kitchen but i am sure if Hips wanted to investigate, she would!!!
I hope he is now forgiven, bless him …. look at his face – how could you? Dry biscuits? Poor Bertilicious!!!X
This post has made me a little sad, because I have very recently realised that there are no Cadbury’s Roses, no Quality Street, no Celebrations or any other sort of essential Christmassy chocolate box in Estonia.
I’ve searched and everything. How do you have Christmas without Roses?!!
Well, clearly you’ll have to, too. Heheh.
I am also sure that Taffy can open high cupboard doors so be advised Childlocks are necessary with greyhounds. He chose the granary loaf of bread which I had put in there thinking it was way out of his reach! At least he picked the healthier option
It’s that bloody fat robin that you’re feeding!!
“We left them up on the bookshelf. The second shelf up on the bookshelf (it is a floor to ceiling bookshelf and only has three shelves).”
My .. you must have very big books!
Yeah, maybe. But you haven’t had a greyhound, have you? LOL!
To make matters worse, the evil, smelly bag of fuzz TOOK the evidence, used it to FRAME the poor, slighted Bertie and you, his Mother, the one he adores actually FELL for it!
For Shame, English Mum…
Susan: I knew you lot would all be on his side!! And he thoroughly deserves the tummy ache too x
Moon: Now that’s just mean. But what a great idea – I might have to do remove all the hazelnut whirls before Mad Uncle A gets here! x
June: ‘Fell down’? Ha! Is that some kind of euphemism for ‘were shamefully robbed by a greedy git’, I wonder?
Kate: I know, I’m horrid. It was purely because I was convinced he was going to puke the whole lot back up though. Needless to say he didn’t
TM: Oh dear – shredded cards – I can see how that could be a problem. You see, Granary is far more healthy than Roses. What a clever dog
Thrifty: Don’t tell Hubby that. He nearly lynched him yesterday! Is not AT ALL impressed with Bert’s thievery, however resourceful!!
Tara: I know. It would have served him right if he dropped dead from chocolate poisoning, but he seems to thrive on it. And the sparkly poo is festive too
Jay: It’s more of a kind of display unit thingy really…I’m rubbish at explaining stuff. And leave home? He couldn’t be arsed! Oh and you’re dead right about greyhounds. I’ve got fences all round and I never let him off – he’s just not trustworthy, especially now the sheep are in the field (as the pools of drool on every windowledge will testify!)x
Jen: Half right: she is indeed an evil, smelly old bag of fuzz, but sadly for Bert, she’s also housebound. As I said, busted! x
He didn’t throw up anything ….. I’m still behind you Bert all the way… if you fancy a trip to Orange County and the doggie beach …. pack your bags Bertie my friend, she will miss you when you are gone !!!!
Until it is proven, the Hound is innocent …
Thrifty: You can hear him from here?! x
Baino: Oh, the garden’s lit up like Blackpool illuminations alright. It certainly adds to the effect
June: Indeedy. Just call me CSI:Cavan!
Yep I’m back and not a moment too soon it seems – good thing Bert has a big fan club that will run to his defence!!
Alas, no tan, I’m 100% Irish – so I’m freckly with er, pink bits in between! However the hubby is also 100% Irish and he’s golden brown. And he didn’t even try. Trés unfair.
