AIBU to *not* eat the egg?!

[LazyDoll]

So on Thursday afternoon we got in after a half term day out (walking) and a parcel was waiting on my porch.
It was addressed to ‘The Lazydoll Family’ with a typed label and delivered first class Royal Mail.
Assuming it was an Easter gift it sat in the lounge until today when I thought it was probably wrapped inside so should open it so I could thank the sender and say we’d ‘unwrap’ tomorrow.
Inside was an Easter egg.
Just in its box.
No message.
No card.
No idea where or who it’s from.
I’ve messaged all the usual suspects.
Nada.
We are a family of 5.
4 of them are happy to share the egg.
I cannot do this if I DON’T KNOW WHO IT’S FROM?!?!
Eat the egg?
Don’t eat the egg?
That is the question!!!!
Help prevent an Easter family feud (it IS a G&B Organic Milk).....

Applauds the ending.

Applauds the novi-choc joke.

Well done all round

LazyDoll wow. that is a fun ending.

I presume all those saying dont eat it have never taken their children trick or treating

No difference at all !

Brilliant.

Brilliant ending! 🤣

When we moved in to our house 3 years ago, a huge egg arrived from Thornton’s and was addressed to the previous occupants. When we contacted the lady who lived here, she said it was from her dad who she didn’t have contact with, and we could eat it. It cost £45! It was scoffed between the 5 of us over 2 weeks. 🤭🙈 greedy 😬😷

Put away till you find out who sent.

@Ddot

Put away till you find out who sent.

She knows.

Everyone knows.

Amazing! Brilliant ending. Your family sounds like so much fun.

Great resolution OP!

Well, if we're going down the murderous poisoner route, I'd consider that I was trying to poison a whole family, I'd invest in an egg each, and make sure I dosed each egg up enough?

One egg split between 5 might not do the job! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lull her into a false sense of security first. Start sending small gifts to desensitize her to expecting the kingfisher.

I was trying to come up with another film reference but couldn’t think of a scenario where the Easter bunny would have been boiling in a big pot on your stove..................

Very weird. I would not eat something I did not order or was given by a person I did not know.

No mumsnet mystery, in the whole history of mumsnet mysteries, has had a more satisfying conclusion than this.

Meh, I'd eat it. Might not let the kids eat it but I'd not mind being the guinea pig. Who questions free food this much? And chocolate at that. You're not normal

Nice one

🤣🤣 thats genius!! Mind you, so are the other examples you’ve mentioned - how awesome is your relationship!!

Aw thanks all we’re only 18 months apart in age and very close. We’ve also both know each other’s husbands since forever and were pregnant with each of our babies at the same time as each other so have a pretty close bond. As do all our kids. Cunning plans are afoot

@DrinkFeckArseGirls

Since it’s Green & Blacks I would have eaten it Someone must like you to buy nice chocolate plus spend £4 on postage?

I wouldn't. Green & Blacks is like cardboard and not as ethical as they would like you to think.

Bloody loved this thread! I totally would be all detective and suspicious lol

I would argue it's not normal to devour something that appears on your doorstep without at least having a think about whom you may have wronged in life first.

That is brilliant!

Open it up. There maybe a bunny inside!!

@DoWhatYouWantTo

Open it up. There maybe a bunny inside!!

What? And a kingfisher. That would be weird.

@LazyDoll I have a similar scheme going on with my sister, our object of choice is a green plastic rabbit from out of a Kinder egg, which mysteriously appeared under my DS's bunkbeds. It has since passed back and forth in our respective houses, hidden in places where it will be discovered unexpectedly. There is NOTHING better than planting him somewhere and later receiving a Whatsapp going "AAAARRRRGGGHHH" and a photo of GR smiling inanely from a light fitting...

Obviously lockdown hampered our mutual efforts, so I did my best with a lovely laminated, Photoshopped Green Rabbit, pinned to the outside of sister's living room window just after dawn, so when she opened the curtains...
