I used to buy them for quite a few children of friends but have really cut back. Now I just buy them for our two godchildren - the gorgeous twin girls Lily and Annabelle.

I buy a couple each for the girls (they also get them off my mum and dad and Mick's mum and dad and the parents of our godchildren - who are our girls godparents).

I always buy one for Mick - but he always forgets to buy one for me. So we usually share the one I buy him.

The eggs don't get put out until tonight - after the girls have gone to bed (and I usually wait until after Mick has gone to bed too - just to make him feel extra guilty the next morning when he remembers that he hasn't bought me one. )

We go to an Easter egg hunt at a friends house on Easter Sunday afternoon so the girls will come back with more eggs than they know what to do with!

My mum seems to buy eggs for every single child she knows!

We all have one each ( ) so we have four eggs here I don't buy any others these days............my niece and nephews are adults and I don't have any friends with young children these days

I bought my MIL some tulips instead of an egg, she's not keen on chocolate.

'Nobody. Don't buy any!

I'd like to be like that! But my sister gets that disappointed look if I don't buy her one, and I usually get Miss Osc chocolate of some kind as she always gives it up for Lent. This year I have bought her a choccie bunny, she is getting other pressies as well because tomorrow is her birthday. Have not Michael an egg because he doesn't eat chocolate or any other sweets......yet!

As Luke came home with a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates for me, I bought him some socks and malteaser bunnies today, but apart from that, I don't buy anyone anything

I don't see the point of stuffing yourself with chocolate - how does that come from a celebration of Easter? It's a religious ceremony.

Hasn't rich and fattening food always been eaten at the end of Lent?

All I do now, is have a little basket which I use as a table decoration and fill it with small eggs. We are not big chocolate eaters here, so they would go to waste. I like to keep Easter quiet and without too much fuss. Mass for me in the morning, then family round for roast lamb. I like to decorate the table with fresh spring flowers from the garden, but they are few and far between this year.

You could have a good point there Kaz. Chocolate though is a fairly modern thing isn't it.
I don't like chocolate myself - can you tell?

Yes I had an inkling Nice to see you BTW

Loz we are having lamb too - I do have a few flowers coming through but not really enough to pick. I bought some daffs the other day - MIL has quite afew in her garden though
