Just going to be controversial for a minute here.

Creme eggs are RUBBISH!!!

So there.

Aprilmeadow, thanks for letting us know about Sweetheart. I do think about her a lot, hope she is coping ok with everything she's had to go through. And I also hope your pregnancy is going ok too.

Have started several posts to come and help you out Katzguk but I'm too scared. I can't face a row.

I feel quite (actually, very) stressed out by things like this.

Hello all.
Very controversial MrsW. Creme eggs are wonderful. They have only just got them in our shop over here and I have already had one and have two more in the fridge. MMM
Actually I noticed that there are a huge variety or eggs from Mars, smarties, caramel, etc etc and so I am taking it upon myself to test a new one every day. Wish me luck.
Chocolate orange digestives sound superb. Will have to ask my Mum to bring some out.
Katz - what did you mean by that post? I like it here I don't think I will go looking around the rest of MN. Head in the sand.
Can't remember who made their baby in Cyprus and stayed in Latchi as was on other thread so can't check but you were in a beautiful part of Cyprus up there. Limassol is a hole really. Only good thing is the huge amount of 5 hotels that offer pamper days and cheap 'residents' rates which we can take advantage of. Christmas dinner at the Four seasons 5 is only CY£28 (less than £35) a head. We didn't go as we flew home but thinking about it for this year. Easter is the big celebration over here so we can really get some bargains for Christmas and the off season. We are taking advantage as once we move back to the UK we will have NO money and so we are trying to make the most of all opportunities.
Can you send us some snow? DH drove all the way up to Troodos today to take a group skiing and had to turn around and come home as all the snow has melted. No sledging this weekend for me and dd after all.

Mrs W HOW COULD YOU??? Creme eggs are divine

KVG - had the mini one's a few weeks ago whilst sitting with a friend who'd just had her baby...unfortunately for her the anasthetic took too long to wear off and by the time she came round I'd eaten her pack and mine, he he he!!

Coop - sounds like an eminently good idea to try out all the mini choc eggs on the market - I may have to join you on your mission - maybe we could research the effects of the sun and exporting on them and see if they taste better in the UK or Cyprus!

MrsW - there is no room for controversial opinions on this thread! It is a well-known fact that Creme Eggs are great

KVG - I have tried the mini Creme Eggs as well (not at 730 in the morning though, that was a one-off, I hope) and they are very nice too.

You have to bear in mind, I lived in a country devoid of decent chocolate for too long. (Swedish people having a thing about salt & licquorice, it's horrible). The best I could get was Smarties. Although if you do see Riesen here at all, they are worth a look - choc covered toffee but very nice.

Tea I am up for that. I think a cold climate will actually win as they begin to melt if it is too warm and you have to rush the experience. Mars egg tomorrow I feel....

teabelly · 23/02/2005 11:56

Coop - on my way home I will buy my Mars egg in preparation for tomorrow...!

Trib - are Dime bar's Swedish?? They're particularly yum too

Tea I will do the same to be prepared. Better eat another of the creme eggs now then. I am so past caring about my weight!
Pink - I asked mw about my 'small' bump today and she said all was fine and that I am more at the sides so there you go. I am only 5ft 6 too so not overly tall. Try not to worry about it and think that you will prob avoid stretchmarks on your tummy. I had none there first time. The chocolate intake may change things this time and don't even ask about my boobs. No-one warned me about that one!!! Huge as soon as dd was born. Made me cry but all faded now.

Could I change the subject entirely and just say that I hate MBNA? We will be closing dh's credit card shortly as we don't need it anyway, but we have just had them on the phone offering him a loan. This would be in addition to the 95 offers he's had this year from them already (it may not be 95, but lots) and the credit card cheques they send him every month with his statement.

It is such a colossal waste of paper and really annoys me.

This time he got the hard sell on the phone and ended up saying (politely) "I don't care. Thank you. Goodbye". When they refused to accept that he didn't want to borrow 10 grand off them at a 'preferential' rate. ARGH.

Re: Dime bars, I've got an odd feeling Ikea might sell them in their Sweden shop. I never really thought about whether they were Swedish or not.
