Here’s my picks! Tried to stay away from food because I don’t need to add any more weight on hahah I’m trying to shed some lbs as it is! Lots of very tempting stuff but I tried to be practical so picked body wash because I’m going to need some soon (and it smelled DELICIOUS!) and the poo dish because it made me laugh! Haha was hard as there were a few other things I wanted but I limited myself!

haha I suspected it might be that. I was going to try to be good and only take one thing (and the peach just smelled SO good!! Like edible good!) but the poo was just too funny to pass up.

Ugh!  Sorry you're not feeling great (and sounds like you didn't get enough sleep, either), KoD.  :(   But I'm so happy to see your pic(s)!  Yay!

That peach body wash does smell good!  My husband doesn't understand me because I hate peaches, but when that was in the box, I considered taking it... while I don't eat peaches, I love the aroma.  I always have.  I just don't want to eat them.  I didn't take it because I know I can't use certain products that have colour and/or fragrance added, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to use this.

And I'm glad the poop dish made you laugh!  After I finished making it, I shared it on a woodworking forum, and one of the other members said it would be perfect for serving Hershey kisses in.  I didn't have time to get any Kisses before sending the parcel on, so they weren't included.  But I thought the idea was brilliant, so now I'm sharing the idea with you as a suggestion for what to do with the bowl.

Still having on/off acid reflux/heart burn irritatingly enough but it might be because I haven't really eaten much today (because I just couldn't even find anything appetising). Glad the day is nearly over...I'll sleep well tonight lol

I LOVE peaches and I LOVE the smell of peaches (and I just used up my backup bottle of body wash today LOL) so I couldn't not take it haha. It was practical and it smelled like I wanted to just eat it. 

hahahah yeah would definitely do well with some hershey's kisses I think now that you mention it! LOL

I came REALLY close to taking other things but I knew my husband would shame me for reasons that I cannot say without ruining the surprise :) But know there were many things I really wanted.

I came REALLY close to taking the (censored) because that's like my FAVOURITE (censored), but I couldn't pull the trigger because I'm REALLY trying to be good and my husband would shame me! lol

Are there triggers for the acid reflux?  Was it something you ate and can avoid in the future?  It sounds really awful.  :/

Peaches are a funny thing for me.  My sister-in-law's family run (or used to run?) a small peach orchard, and my sister used to bring boxes of fresh-from-the-tree peaches over in the summers.  My other sister and mom would sit around the kitchen island just slurping away as the peach juice trailed down their wrists, and they looked like they were in heaven... I have enjoyed foods before, but I have never in my life enjoyed a food as much as they looked like they were enjoying those peaches.  And it made me sad, because when I ate them, I just didn't like them.  But they smell amazing!  I feel let down by my tastebuds.  :P

If you put Kisses in the bowl, please share a picture with me.  I don't want to make another bowl just to see this image.  Yours is unique... special.  :P

Doh!  I always struggle badly after my go, wanting to say the things I wanted but didn't take.  But it didn't even faze me when I read that.

And of course, I just totally drew attention to it....  !  ;)  But for future, it's much more fun not knowing what's in the box!  ;D

I used to literally devour cans of peaches as a child! I know canned peaches aren't as good as fresh ones but I LOVED the stuff.

I will definitely share a picture if I manage to do I might actually have some cupcake ones laying around that I can plop in there to take the picture for you :)

Shhhhh! Don't spoil the surprise!  ;D


hahah I'll amend! Wasn't even thinking properly! I'm going to play the "ill" card LOL  ::) but now you have to go amend your quote that says what I said! :p
