I got mine - I opened it after a very loooooonnnngggg day at work so it was perfect. I got a chocolate face mask which I will try out at the weekend, a pack of 2 caramel bunnies which were wrapped up for the boys - needless to say these are gone! And a box of Cadbury Koko truffle collection - never tried them before so I am taste testing with a glass of red wine! They are yum! So thanks to my swapper. And glad to see my swappee has received hers as well.

Sorry, only getting a chance to post now!! My parcel arrived, thank you sooo much to my very generous swapper, who spoilt me with a SERIOUS amount of chocolate! :biggrin:

I received a pack each of the following: Ferrero Rocher, Belgian chocolates, Lindor chocs and orange Matchmakers. As well as a big bar of Fairtrade Divine milk chocolate, animal bars for the kids and a great little book of chocolate recipes, which also contains lots of interesting facts about chocolate as well. The animal bars were instantly demolished (needless to say!) and the Ferrero Rocher are gone too (we shared them!) but apart from that, I have shown remarkable restraint by not opening any of the rest yet, am going to save and savour it all over the next few days :tongue1:

Extra Extra special thanks to my swapper (or rather, thanks to your DDs! ;) ) for being so thoughtful to send a birthday card for my DD, whose 5th birthday is coming up very soon, that was really sweet of you. Fiona (aka "missy in the middle"!) was thrilled to get a card in the post, and she loves the pretty chocolate-themed stickers too.

Thank you very very much for everything.
-x-
