Just that really ! Have you got an Easter egg or similar? Did you buy it for yourself or did someone treat you ?
I'm trying not to have too much choc so I've a small bag of mini eggs I bought for myself.I'm TRYING to save them until Sunday and I know I shall be disappointed that I haven't a nice big egg to fall on grin

Yes, my DH bought one for me and I’ve bought one for him and a dear friend gave us one as a thank you for something we did for her.
I know they are an indulgence, that you get more chocolate per penny if you buy a bar of chocolate, but Easter wouldn’t be quite the same, would it?
Childish, I know, but I also love the crack the halves make when you break them 😂😂.

I bought myself a Thornton Easter egg when doing my supermarket shop. I’ve been poorly and decided I need a treat.

You did just the right thing Iam64, and I hope you are feeling better, too. 💐

I think the F&M one, is quite reasonable

I'm having the family to easter lunch so I have bought everyone an Aldi chocolate bunny. Including me

No but I've got a box of lovely choccies which is smaller so in theory better for me as the OH will also eat some of them.
🤣😊

We bought the choccies together on the understanding that I have first dibs and majority ownership.

The F & M eggs look just up my street NotSpaghetti must be popular as I see they are sold out,

DD2 and family have just left. They brought me Hotel Chocolate dark chocolate batons and a box of their bunny heads. It’ll take me weeks to get through those.

No, but then I'm trying to lose weight. We bought an Easter egg for our youngest granddaughter, and a box of luxury chocolates for the teenage grandchildren.

I’ve never got myself and Easter egg, but I did get a box of crème eggs when i say they were half price in Lidl and have already eaten them.

My AC never liked Easter egg chocolate, neither do my DGC, I don’t bother at all..

Yes hubby always buys me one. We enjoy it together.

Last year when spending a few days up north we came across a shop selling lovely hand made chocolates. Having looked at the website I treated us both to an egg each from there. Well actually it’s half an egg with your choice of truffles. I have marzipan and DH has Turkish delight. Looking forward indulging tomorrow. I also purchased some Easter bits from them for DS and DIL.

Have enclosed a photo.

I’m at my sons atm, cat sitting, he’s left me an Easter egg, and I’ve already eaten it, delicious 😀

Giggle...hard to resist, and you know, you've done a public service really, preventing the cat from getting it etc grin

Of course, we all know cats get sick if they eat too much chocolate🤣
