Opening the door of my Milk podume on 1st December, I'm having tea at the Ritz right by Green Park

Opening the elephant logo door. Ooh! A plain strile! Filled with Christmas spirit swiftly on to Baker Street

BBbbzzztttt! You didn't check the date, Softers...

Opening the 3rd December door which presents a Plain and [frankly rather dull] straddle over Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square but which [rather surprisingly] gifts a dress circle seat for some current musical madness.
Oh yes - this move scuppers anybody else's chance of posting in this game before midnight .... sorrysorrysorry

I can see this game is going to be particularly competitive. Who stays up late wins, and all that.

[pen] Damn, the door fell onto the floor and I lost the date among the silver paper.

Ah-ha! 4th of December for me, a milk chocolate penguin at Aldwych.

Door number 5 reveals a white chocolate stetson and glasses - yes, the Milky Barbicans are on me!

Me again? Don't mind if I do!
...oh, it's a plain chocolate *farkle*. How boring.

And that was the 6th's. I think Softers got the 12th by accident but we'll see.

No-one picked up the 7th!! A slightly less-than-fresh plain cherry parfait in Moor Park. Yum.

Sneaking in after midnight Singapore time to pick up Milk Choc Farm on the 9th.

Hurrah! It's the 10th! Mmmmm! A Neasden flavoured Santa.

[Softers] But is it milk or plain???

[pen] If it's Neasden flavoured it must be plain.

*Notes the date is the 11th but spots that no-one has opened the door of the 8th* Eeeuuuuw. A milk Dollis Hill for the 8th. I bet it repeats on me.

Not that I'd know anything about it, but all the ones from 13th to 23rd were milk Dollis Hills as well. And I feel rather ill.

So, guess we'll have to wait 'til next Christmas now, eh?
Dollis Hill anyone?

I'm going to eat the remainder of the chocolates when I get to my new home in the Netherlands on Friday, with a coffee. By then. I think I will have deserved them.

.. and finally, farewell the 24th day of December 2008 - take this Chocolate Orange up the Northern Line to Mornington Crescent and enjoy its dark sticky secrets while no-one is looking.
