Have you got an Easter Egg ?

Yes, though sharing with DH. Think it a bit sad and getting things out of proportion if children are deprived of an Easter egg because of anti sugar rules. For heaven’s sake….

I bought myself a chocolate orange minty egg and some mini after-eight eggs. My DD has sent me one but it is still in its box. Nothing wrong with treating yourself and others.

We buy ourselves a box of Lindt chocolates (the red ones)

Prefer them to eggs

No I don’t really like Easter eggs, prefer a nice bar of chocolate. But we don’t do Easter. Usually we buy the GCs a puzzle or a book, my DDs are not in favour of the children having sweet things.

Oh I just remembered - my GS’s gf brought me a chocolate bunny a few days ago 😂

No! But I have bought them for our kids and GS and DH (I asked them not to get me one!) x

I’ve bought one for dh. Don’t know whether he’ll get me one, he will if he remembers. TBH I’d just as soon have a multipack of KitKats…

Not a chocolate fan at all, so I got some Turkish delight and my daughter who has stopped eating chocolate got some dates and pukka tea bags 🤣

We each have a chocolate Easter Bunny brought over this afternoon from our lovely neighbours smile.

I expect my DD will give me one

No. Wanted one that said ‘happy Easter’ for my friend who in her 80s, has dementia.
Couldn’t find one!

Not bring much of a chocolate fan I’ve not had one for at least 40 years. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve bought one for others. Older GCs have had sweet things rationed and don’t have a sweet tooth. Of the younger 2 one would live on only sweet snacks if she could; the other doesn’t have a sweet tooth. Perhaps we should exchange cheese instead 😂

Yes so do I CrazyH but I only bought a small bag, and when I was unpacking them from my shopping I could feel through the bag and estimate I'll be lucky if there are eight to ten of them in the bag...WEEP !!!

I buy Easter eggs for the GC, but no one gives me any. I used to buy for the AC too, but stopped that this year. It’s getting far too expensive and the adults are so health and weight-conscious.
I bought myself a bag of mini eggs. I love them

That made me laugh Merlotgran !

I won’t know until Sunday.

I jolly well hope so! 🐣🥙😂

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
