It's been an entire month since my last weekly update, mainly because I have been insanely busy workwise. So, I'm trying to get back on track with my blog stuff.

This week has been fairly uneventful, with just normal life and work stuff going on.

Our fridge has finally been fixed - yay! After weeks of putting up with an overexpensive piece of Italian-made German junk not keeping our foodstuff cool we are back in the refridgeration game. Amazingly, we survived, but did have to throw out a lot of manky stuff and some milk did go off once. It actually wasn't too much of a chore not having a fridge. I was nervous about catching some kind of illness from room temperature food but that didn't happen thankfully. Maybe if our fridge had failed during the summer things would have been a bit different.

And then there's Brexit.

Well ... that was interesting.

I won't say much, but every time I read the news about Brexit I despair at how useless and pathetic our so-called leaders are. At least the terrifying prospect of a no deal has been taken off the table (well, that's how it looks anyway). I'm praying the whole thing gets called off – we just need someone with the balls to do it.

Oreo Easter Egg Review

Before the dust had settled from the gorge-fest and overindulgence assault that is Christmas, the great confectionists were already gearing up for the next holiday season. This is nothing new, of course, but there seems to be even more choice when it comes to small chocolatey Easter treats. And so, I came across these Cadbury Oreo Eggs – taking place next to their Creme Egg companions – and had to give them a try.

The little Oreo eggs in a bag have been around for a while, but I'm pretty sure these bigger ones are new for this year.

I've never been too fussed on Cadbury's attempt at cashing in on the Oreo brand, mainly because the creme doesn't taste like Oreo creme. These new eggs aren't anything new in that regard - just Cadbury Oreo Chocolate bar re-packaged in an egg-shaped guise. Yes, these little treats are edible, but they aren't Oreos and they aren't proper Creme Eggs. So, in my opinion, a bit of a disappointment. Boo!

Verdict: 5/10
