First time in my Life, no easter egg.

[rossi_mac]

as others have said you can indulge now and again, but if you are being extra good this year then I ask you one thing, make it your last no egg easter! I have bought the wife one, not sure if I am getting one, but will help her with hers if I have too/am allowed! Most things can be included in our routines with our medicines etc. Chin up! 😉

I'm afraid I went for the aforementioned creme eggs 😱

Alan - I have just realised that I don';t think I could eat a creme egg any more - all that gooey sicky stuff in the middle - yet a year ago would have loved them. isn't it funny how the D changes things!

I probably will be eating a whole hollow cadburys egg though - but will portion it out and try to be good. ...thats if hubby buys me one!🙂

No one has bought me an egg They probably think I'm too old for one 😉

I will buy myself one if no one else does

for me it's cadbury's or nothing (unless it's expensive dark chocolate!)

I had a Creme Egg McFlurry about 10 years ago (probably within a year of being diagnosed). To my taste it was revolting. But the Peppermint McFlurries we get at Christmas under various brandings are divine, as are the strawberry ones in summer. As I once said in a thread on EmailDiscussions, if the peppermint ones were a permanent fixture my BG control would be seriously endangered. 😱

The McFlurry I really miss is the Cappucino one they once had.

Same here Katie. Hubby will not buy me an egg, so i have bought my own. 😛

I told my OH that I didn't want Easter eggs this year but now this post has made me change my mind.....but OH has said that I didn't want my eggs so I'm having to keep asking for them (I thinking I'm regressing to being a 2 year old in the way that I keep demanding my Easter eggs)

Wow this topic has hit a note with everyone.

I ended up buying 2 small bars of free from choc bars from sainsburys. Ate 2 squares yesterday (shared with mu dogs too, tiny amount). Plan to have a bit more this evening.

The free from Easter eggs in Sainsburys have sold out. H&B do some too and after easter they will be in the sale if they is some left.

Trouble is I have a weak will power..

Well done - try to stay strong though! 🙂

I thought ordinary chocolate was poisonous for dogs? 😱 Can't remember the reason why!

 

[Copepod]

Theobromine in chocolate is poisonous to dogs, but it is dose dependent, so one square for a big dog might be OK.

I was told by my vet that any amount is poisionus to any dog, its whether the dog is in good health which helps counteracts the effects, so a big dog in poor health can get poisioned with the same amount that a small dog would

apparently, mum's got me a mini egg egg - I love mini eggs!

Agreed, no amount of chocolate is good for dogs, and it's very difficult to keep chocolate out of dog reach once they know there's some about. Just didn't want to imply that Veganlass had poisoned her dogs!

Neither did I! 😱

I find the whole Easter egg thing a bit bewildering, personally. I've never had them - my parents would be much more likely to get me a book than chocolate eggs, so they've never been something I've gone crazy over. They're mostly a false economy, anyway - you get more bang for your buck if you just buy proper chocolate. If anyone hasn't tried it, I highly recommend Lindt's 70% with a touch of sea salt. Gorgeous, and you only need a couple of squares 🙂

Also, I'm sorry, but creme eggs are revolting! Never been able to stomach them, myself 😱

We'll see how I get on with the one currently in my stomach then! 😱 Actually, my favourite small eggs were little praline eggs from M&S years ago, but they stopped selling them.

Pralines? Now you're talking my language

We're waiting until after Easter, when the price per weight of chocolate in eggs often goes below price of bars.

Makes sense! My Co-op has loads of them left, I doubt if they'll shift half of them!

Chocolate is poisonious to dogs - I work in a vets and the result is not nice. But it mostly depends on size of the dog to the ratio it has eaten and what exact percentage it is etc. Dogs go nuts for anything sweet smelling so this is why they are forever trying to get most 'human' food.
