The Lindt is now history.
I seemed to remember some of your personal history, but thank you for sharing all that in more detail. You did not have an easy upbringing. My follow up question seems in the light of your account, somewhat trite and out of place so I will leave it.

I’ve deleted the personal stuff now you’ve read my answer. Long time ago and I’m over my poor start in life, but will never forget it fully of course.
Am diabetic so have to be careful with chocolate.
However, have recently discovered studies showing dark chocolate – at least the dark chocolate with high cocoa content – can be good for diabetes.
…and can even help protect people against getting diabetes.

Get stuck in, Ginge, you only live once and life without chocolate is not really worth living, is it?
Well I am pre-diabetic, possibly not now as I am careful with carbs and diet. I consider myself as diabetic as a useful deception. I used to test my sugar but don’t do that now – just check my HbA1C when I have my bloods done.

I’m glad that Ginge has sampled the dark side of life. No going back now – and enjoy your new life full of chocolate and the dark mysteries of a wanton woman
The
man
who sold the word by the David bowieman
Apparently inspired in part by the below…
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there!
He wasn’t there again today,
Oh how I wish he’d go away!”When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door…Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn’t there,
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away…Tonight I layed off the cheese
And couldn’t see the stair
The little man was there and looked pleased
Don’t disappear I’ll take you up there( Last para was me)

I like that ditty and would also go for the chocolate these days
I’m officially diabetic, although I yo-yo across the boundary back to pre-diabetic when I get disciplined with my eating.
I’ve given up with spot tests and just settle for the HbA1C figures – mainly because they’re the “honest” ones and cannot be cheated.
I had been hovering just on the right side with the numbers but the last two were on the wrong side and to be perfectly honest it’s wholly down to lockdown, where I’ve been eating too many wrong things due to boredom and I don’t have the discipline to avoid the bad stuff – thankfully I’m a great fan of the less evil dark chocolate.
Ironically I was much better off when I worked shifts – OK you tend to eat really crap food, especially on nights, but you were so busy you didn’t get much time to eat too much of it and if you were lucky enough to get a quiet half-hour you would use the time to grab 40 winks rather than eat.
