When I joined last year, there was almost immediately a thread about Easter eggs. 🙂 (There may have been two such threads.)

I'm mildly surprised that this year, with Palm Sunday only three days away, there has been no mention of those glorious celebratory chocs. Mind you, I (rather unusually) haven't got myself even one egg so far this year -- though that's partly due to being housebound. :(

Has anyone else splurged? Remember, carbs on Easter Sunday don't count. 😉 :D
 
My two girls got their first eggs today off my aunt via my mum. Unfortunately poor Millie's started as a bar of diabetic choc but mum went and bought her a replacement :D, my dad has the delights of the diabetic choc - advised not to eat in one sitting - lol
 
I haven't bought any choc. eggs yet. But I guess I better do so soon. I'd be in biiiiig trouble if I don't buy any 😱
 
i am so not organised lol but this has prompted me to add them to my shopping list for tomorrow so my two boys dont think i am totally evil
 
My little box has chocolate bunnies filled with buttons. I'm sure I can tempt him to share if I really want to.

We will possibly be off to see the in-laws at some point, so no doubt that will mean a box of guylian 🙄
 
My OH bought me an egg for my birthday last week. It was a dark choc Green and blacks one...was lovely and didn't effect my BS. Perfect :D
 
98p in Morrisons of course im not going to resist to good a deal medium sized egg plus 2 caramel eggs with them to good to just walk past so got one yesterday morn,my son will get his Sunday.
 
My mum still buys me an egg (I'm 52) bless her. The last few years I normally get the 6 pack of cadbury's cream eggs.

Had 1 a few weeks ago after watching my beloved Wales win the grand slam & next blood sugar test was horrendous; so I asked her to buy me a bunch of daffs (I can't eat them) instead.

We'll see what turns up!
 
I have given up chocolate for Lent....and am starting to go slowly insane when talking about anything chocolate related!! I really, REALLY hope someone gets me a Cadbury's chocolate egg!

I'm planning on just indulging in Easter eggs, and then going back on the no chocolate thing, as it actually hasn't been as hard as I thought it would, and I must be benefitting from it as the sweets seem to have stopped as well!! Now I just need to crack the biscuit obsession I've replaced them both with! 😱

I did this a few years ago, like you say very easy.

But when easter came and i was super excited, it didnt even taste as nice as i rememberd :(
 
I've bought a bar of fairtrade Coffee chocolate instead. It's in the fridge.

Simply divine....
 
I've had a few caramel eggs and bunnies this year - but I guess I should get the yearly creme egg sometime soon!
 
bought the eggs 3 different for ?5. OH wanted to know which one was his. I said:"who said one of them is yours?😉"

One of my mum's cousins, a huge man with learning difficulties, once went to the pub with my dad and ordered two pints. My dad thought 'Great, he;s got me a pint in!' and went to pick one up. R said 'That's mine...', so my dad went to pick up the other. R said 'That's mine...'!!! 😱 My dad didn't argue! 🙂
