    I'd peel them, have a good sniff, maybe try a small mouthful and eat them if they pass the test. If not, they'd go in OH's sandwiches as he has a cast iron stomach! ;)

    ha ha ha that made me laugh!
  • If I weren't pregnant (and after the hysterectomy, that would be a big surprise:eek:) I'd peel, sniff and eat if they smelt OK. But as you're pregnant, I wouldn't chance it - make egg sarnies for your OH instead.

  • Decided to give them a miss and am going out for lunch with some friends to pizza hut - not much different!!!
  • I wouldn't eat them at all - whether i was pregnant or not....

  • I would never chance anything in pregnancy. Infections, including food poisoning can cause premature labour. pizza hut - whilst not being known for its health-givivg properties was an excellent alternative to dodgy boiled egg. Well done and good luck for the rest of your pregnancy.

    Hi

    Been lurking around OS board for a few weeks, and trying to cut back on spending at Supermarkets ect. Anyway...

    I got myself a Bread Maker which is saving me approx 60p a loaf atm and tastes great.
    Got a slow cooker, and its Fantastic
    Now I went to the local farm shop (was more a bloke who is self sufficient and sells eggs, potatoes and plants all with an honesty box!!!).

    Not bad for a bloke ehhh ;)

    The question is I purchased some Free range eggs and I want to know how long they will last - A sell by date, I dont want to buy bulk only to find they only last a week.

    Thanks

    Shadowdragon.

    I don't want to give you the wrong advice, and be responsible for you going down with food poisoning, but we've used eggs from our ladies a month after lay, and they've appeared fine.
    That said, I don't eat eggs, but I haven't had any complaints.
