I've just ordered mine from Mr T...hate having them lying around for ages BUT love the savings especially as I need 12 plus my own kids

If I could, I'd only buy eggs for my own children but I know that Mr C will want go buy eggs for our nieces and nephews. I'm going to make up some little Easter party bags, which I can do for about £1 each.

crazy cat I've heard of Ali Express, although I've never used them, so maybe I'll have another look.

My handbag hook arrived and I'm pleased with that. I've ordered my Mum a travel wallet, which should be arriving next week, so that will be my mum sorted for Xmas.

Thats a brilliant bargain on the cards foxyloxy.....wish I was that lucky!
Only had a couple of £1 eggs stored away but keep eating them........must get some willpower from somewhere:o
Have cashed out a £5 voucher to get a big egg for my daughter. Originally she was only getting a small egg and some other stuff but I know she will really like the egg with the goodies ready for uni, and with having the voucher it will mean that I only need to spend a £1:T

Woo. Lucky you on the cards. That's amazing. Sad for the post office, but a great bargain is a great bargain.

There are some good Easter egg offers on but I daren't buy so early. Every year we end up getting them in and then eating 2 and then 4 and then..then restocking. The baby doesn't get one. Must be good and get her a toy instead. I'm a chocoholic. Not having her start at such a young age! Niece and nephew get one and we always et each other one. But apart from that, the other 10 or so we get are usually just eaten by us. So I'll wait a while. If I can. There's something about Easter eggs that tastes so good.

Had a good deal on nappies at boots. They were 3 packs for £6. But there was a glitch where with a code you got the 3 for £1.60. Saw it on hot deals. So I got 9 big packs of nappies for under £5. They honoured it and I have to work out how I'm going to collect them from the store and get them home now.
Same as Amazon had a glitch on sudocrem 250g pots last month. 31p instead of £5 each. They honoured it and we have 2kg of sudocrem for £2.48. It was only up for about 5 minutes but we snuck in in time. It's rare I manage it. So was doing a happy dance.

I get all prepared early buying presents that I know friends and family will like, saving money in the process buying throughout the year and in sales:T, but am I any good at sending those that need to be sent.......nope........and I'm still hunting out one of my brother's presents:o.
A family member has an important birthday tomorrow and I've only just packaged up the presents(combined with presents from my mum and the rest of our side)
Real life isn't being very kind at the minute, but at least I don't have to pay postage-can use the stamps I've saved from the RM surveys
Chanie do you mind me asking where you got the travel wallet from please? My sis-in-law is a traveller and I'm just thinking what a great present this would be for her
