The Co-operative #OnTheList Christmas Event
Tuesday, December 09, 2014Last week I was invited to The Co-operatives #OnThe List Christmas event. The was a great chance to meet up with other bloggers and see friends I haven't seen in ages.
We started with a glass or three of Prosecco or 3 (5) and chat while sampling some canapés. The falafal and smoked salmon where a hit with me.
There was a blogger panel answering questions and telling us about their own blogs.
There was also a demonstration to make chocolate spheres by the Co-op's product development guy.
They even flambéed them at the end, this is amazing as i'd have imagined it to have melted it all chocolate.
The finished result was a perfect sparkly case for a hidden surprise. There were different things in them. I had chocolate and passion fruit and I saw someone else had a sponge cake filling.
We were really spoilt with the choice of food. I had some cheese and biscuits and took some cup cakes home with me.
The final part of the night before we said our goodbyes was a talk by The Slummy Single Mummy on questions to ask yourself when bogging.
I had a great night, it was lovely to meet the team and so many familiar faces.

That even looks great! I'm so hungry now though. I hadn't realised that the Co Op were working with bloggers now which is a great thing - they sure need some good press! Glad you enjoyed your day (and your 5 Proseccos!) xxx
