Thank you Auntie CP, what a great post.

I am going to try and ignore the Easter treats. I love hot cross buns, but they're 10 syns each! and I can't stop at one!

 

[mhairib]

I am craving the maltesers bunny at 8 syns it's more than i normally use for a sweet treat but if I get a good weight loss this week I may just treat myself!

 

[Mrs V]

Nope..cant say I have been tempted yet, but I do like a curly wurly at 6 syns every now and again, or a Kinder mini choc bar for 2.5 syns.
Thanks for a great post Hun, that should keep us on the straight and narrow again!

Thanks Auntie!! (can't rep ya so thanks is it for now!!)

I'm a big fan of mini eggs and hot cross buns but haven't given in yet!

 

[Purple_Star]

I still can't face the thought after all the xmas choc!!! Thanks though, fab post!

 

[kissme]

Blimey CP talk about organised lol I'm ignoring the easter egg aisle in the supermarket.

 

[cocktailprincess]

Blimey CP talk about organised

lol- I know. It's damage limitation.
If I don't plan ahead I will end up ram-raiding Tescos and eating my body weight in creme eggs!

Ohh thanks CP, I was looking at the eggs in Tesco yesterday thinking (I wonder how many syns!!).

I am partial to the odd Creme Egg and LOVE Mini Eggs, mmmmmm!!!

 

[Devon Dolce]

I LOVE Creme Eggs - not tempted yet but good to know can have the occasional one! Thanks CP xxx

 

[jooloo]

Haha all that the image of coctail princess eating her weight in creme eggs has made me think is mmmmmmmmm cream eggs!!!! What I wouldn't give for a cream egg bath...

 

[Devon Dolce]

The question has to be: how do you eat yours??? xx

 

[beckimorton]

I can't believe how early they have started this year - I was hoping I would have a month or so without temptation Thanks for this list - going to print it out as my little reminder!! Mmmmm malteasters are the best!!! Might be worth a walk to the shop later in the snow!! xxx

The question has to be: how do you eat yours??? xx

Bite the top off, lick out the middle, eat the shell
Cup of tea is COMPULSORY

This is the way true princesses eat theirs!

Jooloo- I am now making it my mission to find out how many creme eggs weigh the same as me! lol

 

[cocktailprincess]

I weigh the equivalent of 2087 creme eggs- lol

think I could manage that!

On the other hand, I have lost the equivalent of 994 creme eggs, so maybe that is my incentive

No I'm not tempted to buy Easter products etc yet.

But I was amazed to see Easter eggs and Hot X buns on the shelves in Tesco just after Christmas.

I was shopping for fresh vegetables for New Year's Day - and they were stacking the shelves ready for Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Esme]

Great post!

Creme eggs are amazing, and 9 syns is so worth it!

 

[SlimDreams]

[malaika]

Not at all tempted. I gave up chocolate when I rejoined SW and intend to keep it that way, but great post, thank you!
