Two horrible things happened today.
1. I got my period.
2. I ran out of chocolate.
I would just like to point out that these two things should never, ever happen at the same time otherwise it will lead to bad, bad things.
At first, I was blissfully unaware of Mr. Period which was lurking just around the corner…
Mr. Period
Me
So there I was relaxing on the sofa, watching some TV – Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen and feeling pleasantly happy.
When…
suddenly I felt all uncomfortable and disgusting which could only mean one of two things… either I had food poisoning or my period had arrived and in this case it was the latter. There was nothing I could do now but surrender to it’s horribleness!
Well, there was one thing that could make me feel better…
Yes! Sweet, sweet chocolate!
BUT! Did I even have any?
.
.
NO I DIDN’T BECAUSE I ATE IT ALL LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS BEING A GREEDY COW AND NOW THAT I REALLY NEEDED SOME I DIDN’T HAVE ANY AND I WANTED CHOCOLATE RIGHT NOW OR I WOULD DIE!!!!!
But then, a miracle – somewhere in my little brain there was a rustle and I had what I am proud to say, a moment of genius.
And and it was this!
Kettle, boil water. Jar of Nutella, pour boiling water into jar of Nutella. Straw. Drink.
Aaahhhh gooey chocolate hazelnutty sandwich spread turned into a soup now in my mouth.
All Mr. Period problems momentarilly forgotten.

Look at the silver lining, if you got your period, then it means you are not preggars.
So funny…. that happened to me the other week and all I could say was… thank goodness for the ice magic hiding at the back of the cupboard… as I searched frantically to satisfy that chocolate crave … the universe was saved from an irrate me!
Ha. I LOL'd. I might have to try that nutella drink thingy. When I read that part, I had some drool to clean up.
Oilfield Trash: true!
Twilightgazing: what is ice magic? Sounds intreaguing
Kaleena J: ha ha, you should so try it!
The choice between food poisoning and a period? Hmmm. I'd take the period with Nutella.
That Nutella drink sounds amazing! I am SO trying that next time.
Was it an entire jar full of Nutella that you used?
mmmm, That's actually sounds really delicious. Damn it. Now I want some chocolate.
I like the monobrow on Mr Period lol
I have been known to find very old cooking chocolate in a moment of need. The "Ice Magic" Twilight mentions is a chocolate topping you put on icecream that hardens on contact becoming hard and delicious
And it comes in choc-mint flavour too, perfect!
Mr Period and Mr Cholesterol are now best friends then!
hmmmm nutella as a drink … I would've never thought to do that! I was CRAVING nutella the other night … mmmmm
Nutella….smoothingly YUMMY!…and I agree no matter how angry Gordon Ramsey gets he's just charming to me…..pleasantly funny!
Charlene: Agreed there!
Giselle: It was about half a jar
Kitty: mmmmm chocolate!
B4MME: Glad you like it! I love monobrows.
Mynx: We are very good at finding chocolate solutions when we need to
Twilightgazing/Mynx: ooooo! I have never seen this ice magic, it sounds amazing and it comes in choc-mint too? I wish I could taste through my laptop screen right now and you guys could squeeze me out some
Anonymous: LOL I should make a post about this.
Meesh: Nutella for breakfast, lunch and dinner please!
Karen: I love Gordon Ramsay and I ate in one of his restaurants a few months ago, it was great, but would have been better if he had been there to shout at me
So gonna try the Nutella drinky thing
Awesome blog 
Hmm…never thought of drinking Nutella, but i did have some on toast with coffee this morning for breakfast.
And Mr. Period doesn't seem like the most pleasant of people…very fitting picture though, lol
I would have just attacked the jar of Nutella with a spoon and/or my face. But a straw! You're classy!
Hot water bottle and Haagen-Dazs for me! They make Mr. Period shrivel up like a salted slug.
Ewwww. I would pass on that!
Mind you I don't really like chocolate. I'm one of those weird women. However, I crave high carb and greasy food when I'm all period hurting.
GIMMIE CHEESEBURGER!
Miss Vicky: Thanks and yes you should
Asha: Glad you like Mr. Period, he is a bad bad man! lol
Inky: Yeah I should have just stuffed it all over my face and be done with it ha ha but I wanted to savour it and sip it for every inch that it's worth!
CkretsGalore: That's ok, people like you mean there is more chocolate for people like me
I have to say, it sounds disgusting, but I am intrigued! You have sparked my intrigue!
And actually, I've talked a couple times about how Nutella is also good for a marriage. Marriage, periods…seems like Nutella has it figured out.
Twelvedaysold: I like the thought of Nutella being good for marriages
You're giving me a whole new set of ideas!
omg, love it here! Came here from rec of twelvedaysold and you are all geniusy over here.
trying to follow, but your friends thing won't come up….
Hmmm. I am not a Nutella fan so this leaves me picturing a less-than yummy concoction that would NOT appease my own Mr. Period. But so glad it worked for you! My husband automatically brings chocolate and wine home when I announce I've gotten my period and am having a bad day. Well trained, he is.
The Empress: Hello you! Thanks for the follow, it's always great to see new friends
Tracey: Well done on training your hubby that way! I would share my Nutella with you as a reward but since you don't like it, I'll just sit here and smother it all by myself :p
Mr. Period is one bad ass! This is so funny and you are brilliant!
Mmm. You can drink nutella too?
Mmm.
YUM.
nutella is da best!
Periods on the other hand are the WORST.
Cute comics as usual.
Koutsouni Mou Awwww thanks
One Cluttered Brain Nutella is not supposed to be a drink, but it is now! ha ha
Where do you get your crazy ideas from? Now I want to drink some nutella too!
you had me at nutella. and then quickly lost me at nutella soup.
this is genius. I actually have some nutella (which I will probably never eat because I bought it and then decided I don't really like it) in my pantry, and I think I will have to remember this the next time Mr. Period decides to visit me. I hope he takes his precious time, tho, because the last time he came around he was a complete dickhead.
You're Lucky I Don't Have a Gun: You don't like soup? Soup is good!
LaceyRee: I was laughing in bed this morning as I read your comment because Mr. Period is a massive dickhead
Oh my freaking goodness. Thank you for following my blog because I couldn't be happier to find yours!!!
That big ugly monster has not appeared in my month yet and it's pissing me off. When it does I'm going to make this. Because it sounds fantastic!
Also, your doodles are glorious.
LOL I am dying. Nutella is pretty much one of the best things to ever happen to me. I appresh the fact that you made it into a DRINK. <3
Thanks for commenting on my blog! I'm a follower now!
Elle: Thank you for your lovely comments
Boo hoo to Mr. Period and wayhey to Nutella!
Ginnysaursrex: I like your name
Welcome on board!
oh nutella..its magic i swear
Wow this post is so cute. Mr. Period can suck it, or else ;p Thanks for the add. Love your blog!
Paige: it's special magic.
Philosophia: Thanks! and welcome
What a great idea! Some marshmallows on top might make it even better!
Hey Debs! If only I had some marshmallows then, I would have sucked them up through my straw
Hahah I love the Period illustration.
CkretsGalore: tee hee, Mr. Period loves you :p
This blog is so very brilliant!
And yeah, I hear ya on the period and chocolate thing!
Oh hey, I posted an award for you on my blog…the post about my dog enjoying vibrating toys.
GF's Period – chocolate = me sleeping on the couch for a week.
CkretsGalore: ooooo an award! thank you so much
and I will read your vibrating toy story right away!
Poker school: Awwwww! Shame on her :p
I once made that mistake, lost my entire platoon. Always ration your chocolate.
Drake: You bet, from now on there is a little chocolate hidden in every corner of the house
It is MR. Period? and NOT Mrs. Period? That explained EVERYTHING: how it always shows up at the most inconvenient time? How it gives me a stomach ache? How it makes me all antsy and crazy when it does not show up? And then when it shows up I am like, Please just go away. You are embarrassing me.
The Absence of Alternatives: I'm on the floor laughing, thank you for making my morning!
This sounds like one of those wonderful miracle cures that those silly moms come up with when they're just hanging out at home; like… the teeth whitening thing. But this is better because it saves you from pain and boredom. Also gives me an excuse to check out Nutella.
Clocks Declaring: What is the teeth whitening thing?
