Who still wants an Easter Egg?

I buy DH one every year as he loves them, but I have never liked Easter egg chocolate - it always tastes stale to me.

We have bought them for the DGC up until this year but by request, they are all having a card with some cash inside instead. They just aren't that keen on chocolate after the rationing of sweets throughout their childhood by their Mums.

I prefer flowers. wink

OH YES !!!!

and I'd have more than one if anyone wanted to buy me one.

I love Easter Egg chocolate . I know it's probably the same chocolate as you would get in a bar but it's in an EGG !! What's not to like???

and for those of you , who like me , love and egg ....did you know......

if you store your egg on a high shelf there are no calories in it because calories are afraid of heights and they jump off grin

Oh yes. DH always buys me a special one usually Lindt or Hotel Chocolate. I have bought him a smallish one from Hotel Chocolate called Scrambled Eggs in dark chocolate. The family are coming to stay at Easter and I have ought them all one - just the standard Buttons or Smarties etc.

Nope!

We have the family over for a gathering and an Easter egg hunt in the garden for the children and I buy fancy chocs for the grown ups. But somehow, I only realised last year, I don't seem to get anything! I hadn't noticed before so I can't miss it much!

I decided long ago that Easter eggs and Mother's Day flowers are a rip off so my treat is having all the family together at one go. It's easier to arrange for Easter than at Christmas and saves all the angst of whose turn is it to go where.

I still want one of those Thornton ones that were covered in iced flowers and really over the top.

DH will buy me something nice. I love easter egg chocolate as it's so crisp especially from the fridge as NLS says!

My DD always buys me an Easter egg, lovely girl that she is, I leave it in the fridge until really cold, then shamefully scoff the lot in one sitting (it's only a smallish one) as I like the shell crunchy, yum!

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.)
