My father in law still gets us (his son and myself one).. we’re in our 20s and it’s only a couple of quid per egg (cadburys egg etc). We still love it and it’s tradition for when we go visit the parents in Ireland! Never too old!0

First year I've not bought my 60+ husband one as we're on a cruise. I think this might make it a permanent stop which would be great. He's diabetic and really shouldn't be eating Cadbury cream eggs!!! (yes, plural)I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.
