Who still wants an Easter Egg?

Do you treat yourself to a really special Easter Egg, does your DH buy one for you ? my DH buys me flowers, and our DH buy us plants either for the house or garden.DH did used to buy me a Thorntons Egg but I really prefer flowers at Easter, although I do scoff the odd small egg when the DGC are here for the Easter Egg Hunt around the garden ( hopefully they won't find them all.)

I love receiving an Easter egg. I have made this known and DH (of 20 months) has dutifully purchased something. As he told me the size, the price and where he bought it from, I have a fairly good idea of what I am getting!

We have bought modest eggs for family this year - £3 instead of the £6-8 that we have often spent, but we have also bought lots of cream and Lindt eggs to have in a big bowl. I don't think anyone will feel hard done by.

Have to say - the M&S eggs (advert) look stunning - I would rather have smallish / classy than big but ordinaire (but suspect I will receive the latter). Picky? Moi? Not ungrateful - but as Sally (When Harry Met Sally) would say 'I want it the way I want it. ' I think Dh gets a bit exasperated grin.

DH usually buys a special Hotel Chocolat egg for us to share. I haven't seen one yet, but I'm still hopeful. ?

Imperfect ' you can't leave husbands to their own devices , you have to tell them what to buy and then be surprised and pleased when they hand it over to you. '(That was Thora Hird's advice to a young wife about a birthday present in Last Of The Summer Wine.) smile

No I don't, I am allergic to chocolate. However, I did sneak a bag of sports mixtures into the trolley yesterday so that's my treat. I am not going to share them either...

I got a Thorntons Butterfly one, a Cadburys Freddo Faces one, a Maltesers one, and a Cadburys hollow one in a bag with Easter bunnies and things, and some little pink and white ones from Hotel Chocolat. Still got one to come from DS. (I hope) tbusmile

I have never tasted Hotel Chocolat but recently bought some to put into birthday gift for ddil. Little packs of 7 chocolates which were half price at around 1.75. As the postage was 4.50 regardless of how many were bought, I decided to buy 6 packs to use as treats for adults as and when appropriate.

Dh and I decided not to get Easter eggs as we have still a box of Milk Tray...... now half a box smile

Because of the poor value in an egg I bought dgs a Ludo game and a chocolate orange. Dgd got a pretty bunny(THMaxx) on a ribbon to hang up and a chocolate orange.
