which came with a game friends of ours got her for Christmas.

Oh, she's 2.6 and only had these things once before (given by DGM and after which she refused to eat her tea),

YANBU - I would also eat my children's Percy Pigs, and they're 14, 13 and 11. They are exceptionally nice.

YANBU wish I had some now.

YANBU.Percy Pigs are wasted on children.

Heleninahandcart · 09/01/2012 18:08

YANBU this is the point of Percy Pigs. You didn't really think you were meant to share them with her did you?

TheSmallPrint · 09/01/2012 18:38

I wouldn't even let my DCs see the packet. YANBU!

Oh, they were whisked out of the box as soon as I realised what they'd bought, don't think she had time to clock what they were.

And I have to say, I did at the male half of this couple who laughed and kept saying 'has mummy pinched your sweets?' especially as I was in the middle of getting her tea ready.

I had some Rosy Noses this weekend, they came with a mug and I found I had this gift left over and no one to give it to - whoops

WorraLiberty · 09/01/2012 19:23

Why can't she have them after her tea?

SquishyCinnamonSwirls · 09/01/2012 19:25

Oh eat them. Percy pigs in all their variations are lovely. I have a half eaten bag of Rosy Noses in the breadbin that I'm really tempted to go and finish now!

Rhubarbgarden · 09/01/2012 19:26

Yanbu. Percy Pigs are yum.

Choufleur · 09/01/2012 19:44

YANBU - they're full of sugar and bad for children (that's what I tell myself when I eat DS's anyway - he can have the sweets I don't like).

Worra She can't have them after her tea because that's when Daddy gives her a chocolate eyeball.

That sounds more like a physical thread than a treat

"Behave or I'll give you a chocolate eyeball!"

WorraLiberty · 09/01/2012 19:58

threat

rookiemater · 09/01/2012 20:09

YUK I hate Percy Pigs. Everyone at work raves about them, tastes like chewing cotton wool to me.

Worra I've just nearly woken DS up giggling at that.

YABU but only because I am not that keen on Percy Pigs Give me Colin the Caterpillar sweets and it is a different matter - particularly the marshmallow-type ones. I cannot get enough of those

oldmerryolesoul · 09/01/2012 21:26

Oh they are horrible, now had the game of had Colin Caterpillar Cherry fizzes then yes I would did scoff them
