Easter

[Spooky]

Very important topic now....

With Easter fast apporaching what is your favourite type of egg? ;D

Also who does the best hot cross buns?

Finaly we are thinking about having a social over the Easter holiday so Ill keep you posted if it comes to anything, might even squeeze an Easter investigation in somewhere... we could do an egg hunt at the abbey ;D

[Hartswood]

Well I've just bought two packs of HUGE Hot Cross Buns from Sainsburys for £1

I like Lindt Easter eggs personally - none of that second-rate British chocolate ;D

[Spooky]

Wow, thats a good buy. All round yours Friday morning then ;D

I usually end up setting fire to the things

[Hartswood]

The knack is to flatten them down before putting into toaster! A rolling pin helps.

[Vampyresam]

To be honest I don't really celebrate Easter. Just another bank holiday to me. ( I can hear you all calling me a killjoy but I don't care ;D)
I don't go out and buy all the easter eggs and hot cross buns and stuff till after its all over. All the the shops sell their left over easter eggs real cheap. So I have to say my favourite eggs are the half priced ones ;D

[Hartswood]

Well unless you're particularly religious or under the age of 12 I don't think Easter is that exciting

Talking of eggs, years ago my brother worked as a rep for Cadburys and used to bring home ALL the broken ones that they couldn't sell .............. I couldn't look a Curly Wurly Easter Egg in the face for years...... ;D

[Spooky]

Ahem some of us celebrate Cadburys *cough* I mean Easter.

I bet there will be tears in the Monkey hut if the bunny doesnt visit this year.


Hmm curly wurlies, didnt they shrink over the years

[Hartswood]

Yes, as have Cadburys Cream Eggs

[Spooky]

Could just be our hands got bigger? Naaah ;D

Good tip on the rolling pin though, might save the fire alarm batteries this year.

[Hartswood]

I was joking - not coming round to you for tea and squashed Hot Cross Buns

[Spooky]

See how blooming gullible I am..... Ill believe anything ;D

[QueenofSwords]

Er............


We did have a really nice 'posh' white chocolate egg complete with yummy chocolates a few days ago ........... (which daughter persuaded husband to buy last week so she could 'look' at it until Easter......*cough*) but certain children over 12 seem to have already demolished it.....

I'm going with Sam's idea........... next weeks half price goodies........... ;D which I'll consume in the car before i get home......... mmmmmmm

Gone are the days of crushed cornflakes/rice crispies in paper fairy cake cases dunked in chocolate and filled with mini eggs to make bird's nests.........


DOH showing my age.......

[Hartswood]

What do you mean "gone are the days"? .....I've got two dozen in the fridge that I made earlier .......

[raven]

I would rather have a box of gylian or ferero rocher

All such hype nowadays but maybe just saying that because I get sick of too much choccy.. stopped buying my son one years ago but he gets lots off other family... would not say no to the hot cross buns though teresa

[Hartswood]

Yum yum........Guylian seashell choccies!

Even better one of their Easter eggs!


;D
