    DO NOT LOOK! ds2 says it can't be real as the pile of sugar is bigger than the egg :D

    I've looked - but I don't like crème eggs :) DS1 is the only one who does - and he's a skinny 17yo with hollow legs, so it doesn't really matter for him!

    10 Easter eggs and 6 L1ndt Easter bunny paws have been sat in the under-the-stairs cupboard for about 10 days now.....:A I'm not tempted - because they're not mine. If they were general store cupboard treats they would have gone by now - but specific things I can avoid (some twisted logic in my head! :D)

    Hope you got the Pand0ra stuff, ng :)

    I have asked best friend which of her kids she would like to go without eggs this year as I've eaten them :rotfl: well done for resisting! Could get the pandora stuff in store so will order online today.

    Dinner out last night in what can only be described as the most "Essex" restaurant I've ever been to, many very dolled up loud older ladies! food was great but £££ and sadly no dancing, but a good night.

    Celebrations continue today with a roast dinner round mum and dads, this is a rare occourance now sadly as it is amazing, especially dads homemade veggie stuffing.

    Happy birthday!

    I've bought some mini eggs for cake decorating, I will be amazed if they make it to the top of the cakes.

    We are having a rare roast today. It is definitely the weather for it.

    No Easter eggs purchased yet. I am still in trouble for eating two of dd chocolate bars and need to remove temptation!

    Thanks for the birthday wishes :)

    Roast dinner was lovely, but I have had soooo much alcohol this weekend :o my "birthday week" continues with a curry Wednesday night and an afternoon tea on Friday, I know how to stretch out a birthday :D

    I've switched gas/electric suppliers and have just noticed the old provider has taken another direct debit when I've already left but not got got the final bill yet, its upset the very delicate (skint!) nature of this months budget , I'm really hoping most of it gets refunded back eventually although with the recent weather I'm not so convinced!

    Ordered some charms for dds birthday with 6% cashback and a free pair of earrings :T

    Not happy today, ovo took another payment after our supply ended as they have not created a final statement, so now they have nearly £230 of our money and it will take 4-6 weeks plus another week for the refund. It's more of an irritation for us but in years gone by it would have meant a real shortage of food :(
