In my last post I mentioned we'd won a door prize following our visit to a retirement village in Bunbury, Western Australia. I've been waiting with bated breath (where does that come from @LoriAMoore?) for Vince to arrive home with our prize.
Well, the gift box is now sitting on our table. Firstly I should say we had a ticket each and apparently Vince's ticket was drawn out of the hat. He thinks this makes the prize all his. It won't be the first time he has been wrong. 
There is a bottle of local Char*onnay (Vince drinks red wine so that's mine for starters). There is a Toblerone bar, a Raffaelo chocolate, some Ferrero Rocher and a large KitKat. None are these are very good for Vince. There is dukkah, olive oil, chips (crisps), salted peanuts, all of which Vince is welcome to.
There is also a cointreau pudding with chocolate liqueur sauce. No way can he have that. It would be VERY bad for him and not just because of the sugar content! 
And that's about it. I wonder what I should start on first.

Well it's good that it had a mix of savory and sweet . . . you can both share the winnings! Even if he thinks the prize is all his, well you are just protecting him and his health . . . you will save him by doing the right thing to take away what is not good for him

Congratulations to you on winning the prize and so many goodies. 
However, do not make us feel jealous by not only showing the pictures but by describing in juicy words.

I would grab that basket and hide all the contents in different parts of the house - don't tell Vince...then you sneak in and eat what you want when he's out of the hosue

@JudyEv You'll be coming back for more. Why do they do that? Is it to promote their village? They are very generous

@averygirl72 They have some units for sale so it was a chance to show people who might be interested through the units and encourage someone to move in. They might ask us again and they might not. We probably wouldn't go again unless we were ready to buy.
