Easter stall sounds perfect for bunnies!
What about knitted chick egg-covers with a crème egg inside - similar to this:http://bluebrit.com/2012/knitted-easter-chicks/ There are loads of other patterns online

Thank you for the pattern. I had seen those chicks and they are open in one of my tabs. I currently have no yellow wool though, so am making hats/cosies with huge pompoms on top for now.
I left the house at 7.25am and got home for 2.10pm. 4 hours in work, 9-1. Was miffed that NO food was provided for staff (although it was for visitors), even though reason tells me that there would have been nothing gluten-free anyway!
We have a brand new washing machine that dh found for less than half price - go him! It is currently strutting its stuff and showing off at 60 degrees.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -
11 creme egg cosies completed.
Dd wants me to work on her cardigan for a bit now...
Bunny slope workout #6 also completed.
Off up to Lunnon town for new spec training tomorrow, so a little lie-in. Though I've been waking at 5am ish recently. Ugh. Have been dozing after, but would like to go through the night...NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -
Am v. impressed with your DH's bargain hunting skills!

Me too, greent! A lesser model cost more, and we got more model for lesser price + free delivery. I say 'we', but you are right - he has finely honed bargain hunting skills!
Training up in Lunnon done. Awesomely excellent training (+ g-f food - yummy!). Awesomely awfully sweaty packed journey both directions. How on earth do people do it on a daily basis! And I arrived at Victoria at 9 and left at 4.30, so I don't even consider my travelling times to be within the truly busy periods!
A good shower sorted me out.
Tomorrow I have a parents evening, starting at 5. If I get my marking done, I'll either sit and knit my creme egg cosies. Or go and get yellow wool if I can get to the shop in time (St Christopher's hospice shop sell wool, but often close before 4). Or look for cheap jeans as I have run out of denim for my bunnies... Failure to complete the marking (and the more probable scenario) means getting out my coloured pens and doing it.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -
I've occasionally had to work in London for brief periods (thankfully not for years and only ever max a week at a time) - and am always glad to return to the sleepy South West, I have to confess!

Another parents evening tonight. And have realised that I must focus on that marking! And organising the letter for a trip to France. And being ready-at-all-times for the Learning Walks that are going on - we are in the 2nd week of it and I've yet to be seen... And listening to speaking tests. And being uber-ready for book scrutiny,
