We are a family of 6 with 4 dc between 7-13 yo
Haven't seen pil since last summer because Covid

Normally at Easter we spend time with them and do an egg hunt in the garden. Not possible this year/ they live too far away not to stay over.

They have sent us (without asking) 48 yes 4 dozen creme eggs.
Wtf are we meant to do with them all?!

There was a deal for them on Amazon the other day, I was so tempted and there's only 2 of us!

Just ration them out, no one has to eat them all in in 1 day.

The kids don't have to eat them all in one day Hmm.

Egg hunt. DD has got a box of 12 instead of Easter egg to herself

Wow no the wonder shops have sold out

It's a well known fact that every shop gets exactly 48 creme eggs and no more.

Man I wish your PILs were my PILs! 8 creme eggs is only one a day for a week and a day.

idontlikealdi · 02/04/2021 21:36

I hate creme eggs but I'd lay the hunt and let them eat a couple a week. It's nice of them 🤷‍♀️

Creme egg brownies - yum!

Yum! 😁

Beseigedbykillersquirrels · 02/04/2021 21:41

I'm not sure if I've ever read about such a non-issue. Were you honestly, genuinely baffled as to what to do with 8 creme eggs each? Truly?

Tinydinosaur · 02/04/2021 21:41

Egg hunt in the park. Expect some to get lost or found by others to reduce the amount yours have?
Bake a cake and take lots to PILs?

lanthanum · 02/04/2021 21:42

They probably thought they were ordering the mini ones you normally use for the hunt.

AlwaysLatte · 02/04/2021 21:42

They obviously meant them for an extended EE hunt? Then maybe do some baking with the kids with the surplus?

BuggeringBugger · 02/04/2021 22:19

I could eat that many in 20 minutes.
