What came first the egg or the £25:00

16 Mar 2008

The daughter magnanimously told us today that rather than getting her an Easter egg she would settle for £25:00!!! Good of her eh? :lol2:
I suppose that means the choccy egg in the eggcup with a bunny on the side ain't gonna please her is it? :sad: I think also that on Easter day there may not be an easter egg hunt, very possibly a parent hunt though!
Anyone else compromising this easter/

I hate the cost of the eggs - try comparing the 'per 100 grammes' cost of an egg with the equivalent brand of bar. But I do love the whole breaking the egg open and nibbling it slowly.
So I reckon it will be 1 egg and a selection of the best quality chocs I can afford. On the basis of quality over quantity.

Well the first question i have for you..
How old is your daughter???
if she is under 18...
give her an egg and tell her to be happy with that ....
and if she is over 18 she should be giving you 25 quid toward housekeeping biggrin

:D:D:D:D:D:D

I only do the edible bits of Christian festivals so:
Dear Santa, please can I have a Lindt Gold Bunny - you know the one with the ears longer than the average penis, that you can take for walks, and is only in Tesco?

i dont DO easter as such......i get my kids a cheapo easter egg (49p from Quality Save :thumbup: )and tell them that too much chocolate will make their teeth fall out of their heads!!
I do however like the school hols (for that read lie-ins) that come with it lol

Whatever happened to the good old fashioned chocolate easter egg for Easter? I buy my kids an egg from Sainsburys. 5 for £5 quid. Now thats not bad value. I know what I would say if one of my kids said, stuff the egg I will have £25,and I would not say on here other than to say,it would prob not be nice. lol

Growing up, Easter weekends were so bloody boring :sleeping: all the shops were shut and there was the endurance of the 'station of the cross' at Church on Good Friday was enough to put me off for life (I vowed then I would never put my kids through that, I'm now non practising). Lunch was always FISH, followed by FISH for tea! rolleyes

Easter Sunday wasn't much better we'd have to wear our new outfits, troop off to church.. again and back for god damn turkey and again all the shops were shut!
The good thing was the yummy easter egg choccie.
With mine, I buy them a gift, this year I've bought them a clutch bag and an egg, but that's it. We'll prob have fish and chips Good Friday but I'll cook them at home and that'll be it for the day (except for the box of wine chilling for tea time wink

)
Easter Sunday will be pretty much like any other Sunday, the old way has defo gone in my opinion.

Easter is just another day in our house...
Kids will probably get an egg so as not to feel hard done by but its just another Sunday here..

You triggered memories for me in this. Not quite the same re- good Friday and 'Station of the cross' In the catholic sense, but similar. We were always packed off to my Grandparents for the duration of Easter (presumably shagging time for Mom and Dad ewwww) Being avid Baptists who ran their own church and groups we were subjected to Easter from moments start to collection by parents at the end, Interminable!
I can still remember the first time someone in a row behind the one my brother and I stood up and shouted "Hallelujah praise the lord!" at the top of their voices being about 6 years old I almost wet myself with fright. The funniest thing was the look of absolute disgust shot the person from my Grandma lol

I'm sure she had to have a license to be able to shoot gazes like that biggrin

A very very Victorian prim and proper stiff upper lipper was my grandma :smile:
Yeah Jaymar(nods) they for me too were so boring and long sad

17 Mar 2008

Easter egg or £25 ffs! lol

:lol:
I'll go for the Easter egg, most big supermarkets have 4 for £5 or similar offer! :lol:
