    Need a bit of opinion about families , my wife and I have completely different ones from each end of the spectrum and I need somebody from somewhere in the middle to advise ..... What is the cut off for buying niece / nephews Easter eggs? .. My nephew is 18 now, so in my book that makes him an adult and withdrawn from the egg circuit , my wife's family still receive things like this from Aunties and uncles even when they are in their forties with own kids etc , but I think this is a bit odd , surely when my nephew is 30 and married , I still don't have to go round and ask him to choose flake or cadburys buttons? .. What are the rules ?, I haven't really had any uncles / aunties since I was a child so I can't use that as a guide

    Easter is just a reason for the great chocolate megalomanianic companies to steal money
    Down with chocolate

    Easter Egg hunts are the answer to this.

    Tell all your relatives that you have hidden eggs for them.

    Somewhere in the world.



    Ok. Go hunt.

    You're right
    She's wrong
    Old relatives buying Easter eggs for Middle Aged relatives is creepy

    ...however that doesn't work for your own children apparently. You keep buying them for them, and their partners...for some reason

    I bought Mrs Tash a gin & tonic Easter egg this year!!! Many brownie points

    18 has to be the limit unless we all carry on buying until the day we die. How about you make a compromise this year and say 18 is the limit unless we draw or beat man city or Stoke and if we do you are willing to buy for an extra year

    First time I went to the mrs' mams for tea. Oh Chazz would you like plum crumble for pudding.
    Bit weird says I, under my breath as the mrs kicks me under the table, what's wrong with apple crumble or rhubarb like normal people.
    So she dishes me up a big bowl full with custard on .this might not be so bad Chazz thinks...

    Put a big spoonful in my mouth and crunched down on the plum stone!!! The horrible old git didn't tel me she was too lazy/weird to take the stones out of the plums. Chipped my tooth nearly in half.

    Freaks

    To be honest he's in first year at Uni , and judging by some of the photos on Facebook I don't think he will give a **** about an egg .

    Plum crumble, sans stones of course, is ****ing gorgeous - using only English plums of course, none of your tasteless, watery, foreign supermarket fodder

    I remember by my 15th birthday, instead of getting chocolate my Dad would just give me and his missus' kids a 5er each, that first Easter we bought a donner kebab with the 5er, so I reckon instead of an easter egg you should get the lad an easter donner kebab
