Couperwife Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 wow, happy first egg you have to take a photo, then tell everyone you know (who will all look at you like you are totally insane) - its the norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Our first egg was small too (I guess most first eggs are) but we still soft-boiled it and shared it... that's one tiny egg between my three eldest daughters (thankfully baby was too young to try or it'd have been even worse!!), my husband and myself... one tiny mouthful each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkButton Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 I went With a Bacon and egg Sandwich. Compared It back toback with a tesco free range egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
