Skor Minis

I picked up this bag of Skor Mini chocolates the other day. I don't think I've had Skor chocolates before. They are quite good, chocolate on the outside, with a butter toffee crunch centre. Six pieces are 220 calories and 20% of your daily fat and it's hard to stop at one or two pieces! Well, I thought I would share the temptation anyway!



At the gym the other day, I momentarily forgot the combination to my locker lock. I hadn't used it for almost a week as I have been walking instead. I mentioned my panic to the lady next to me. She said she uses an old fashioned padlock and key for that same reason. She said that she used to work at a bank, in charge of the vaults. She wasn't allowed to write the combination down for security reasons and had to just remember it. She said it was stressful because if she ever forgot it, they would have to call special people to break into the vaults. Well, I thought that was interesting. Another lady said she simply doesn't lock her locker because she doesn't bring anything valuable.  Do you have a problem with remembering things like this?

I saw the movie 'The Lucky One' last night starring Zac Efron. I enjoyed this 'chick flick' from the author of 'The Notebook'. It also starred Blythe Danner (Gwyneth Paltrow's mom), now I see where Gwyneth gets her looks from!

Well, enjoy your Saturday!

I could eat the whole bag of those Skors. Yum.

I have a good memory most of the time. For our locks, we use the birthdate of a relative. Trouble with keyed locks, they can be lost. Then where will you be? Lol.

Those chocolates looks yummy :)
Am usually good with numbers, comes with the job.
But sometimes there's too many numbers and codes to remember.
Have a great Saturday

Love Skor! and I haven't seen "The Lucky One" yet because I am afraid I might cry. My daughter tells me that she cried in the book...don't like to make a spectacle of myself in public places. :-)

Ha, I never remember combo locks and even if I should, I still ahve challenges using them and thus I simply don't. LOL.

I've had the same debit card PIN number for decades. Last month I was at the grocery store and forgot it. Thank goodness Hubby was with me to purchase the food.

I remembered the number on the way out of the store.

Oh, I don't remember my home telephone number, because I always use my cellphone... and sometimes I don't remember even my cellphone number!! I have problems with keeping in mind numbers... :))

I think she looks like her mom too. My memory is so bad these days I can't remember any combination.
