Today's Talkers: What to have a chat about this Monday, including a biscuit scandal and SINGLES day!

Welcome to Monday! I'm here with your guide to the three things you should mention in your conversations throughout the day - be it whilst you're hairdressing, on the checkout, or having a brew in the staff room! Please, don't let me keep you any longer, there's work to be done...

1. Festive Chocolates SHRINKING scandal! (I know!)
We start the week with some shocking but unsurprising news...whilst the prices of our Christmas confectionery boxes continue to rise, the packets themselves are getting smaller and smaller. This has been confirmed by the Sunday Mirror, whose investigation has shocked me to the core. This really is a modern day scandal. Among the findings of the Mirror investigation were the fact Terry's Chocolate Orange sharing segments have gone from 330g to 300g, whilst a Fox's Biscuit tin has gone from 650g to just 600g. Perhaps the biggest scandal of all, Jelly Babies have gone from 540g to just 460g - and no similar drop in price has been seen! It's almost as terrible as the fact the Co-Operative and selling Poppy Candy Freddo's for 28p. What can I say? So please, do share this emotional news with friends and family, although a warning of distressing information may be advisable. As the headline reads, it is a CHOCCY HORROR!

2. Last Tuesday was Single's day in China (take that, lovers!)
So, after that little moment of scandal, it's time to get back to our regular daily talkers, and this one if for all us single pringles out there! It's now six days since the biggest online retail sales day...SINGLES DAY! It was a day to celebrate being single, a sort of anti-Valentines day, and sales reached over $9 BILLION (that's over £5 billion) with people buying presents for, well, themselves! Alright for some! So, if you missed singles day, never fear...Valentine's Day will soon be here. In the mean time, pencil next year's Single's Day in the diary (unless the horoscope has predicted you'll be lucky in love in 2015, that is!!)

3. I'm a Celeb returned to our screens last night!
It was the moment the nation had been waiting for...the return of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here to our TV screens! And millions tuned in to watch Ant & Dec present the launch episode of the new series, and everyone has been talking about it! In case the new batch of Jungle Celebs didn't take your fancy, Channel 5 were showing Superman II, whilst the BBC showed the premier of hit movie War Horse. Or, of course, watching The Real Housewives Of Atlanta was always an option on ITVBe! A chat about the weekend's TV is always a winner!
