If it were a real halachic problem then it could not be eaten on the 
eighth day either.  But it is not a real halachic problem, it is only a 
chumra, because a cheshash of chometz.  Al pi din one does not have to 
worry about this cheshash, and one may eat it even on the first day, 
which is why nobody has any objection whatsoever to your choice to do 
so; but since it *is* a real cheshash there are many who choose to be 
stricter during the first seven days.  That doesn't make it forbidden. 
So when the eighth day is on Shabbos the only question that arises is 
whether to prepare it on the Friday using the eruv tavshilin, or to do 
so on Erev Yomtov.
