Eggstreme behaviour

Yeah, OK it's a dumb post title LOL ;) ....but bear with me.

You would have no doubt noticed the appearance of Easter eggs in the supermarkets the very second the Back to School stuff disappeared off the shelves. The absolute instant the the pencil sharpeners are packed away these little wrapped packages of Cadbury goodness appear on the ends of every aisle.

I love these little oblate spheroid (I seriously remember that term from grade 4) shaped goodies to the point that the $6.78 price tag becomes a non-issue. I am so blinded by the shiny wrappers and smooth, individually wrapped chocolate morsels that I am willing to give up essential grocery items for them (does everyone really need toilet paper? Really?).

The fact that the equivalent amount of Cadbury Chocolate in block form is approximately half the prrice is negligible. It's not about that. It's about the shape...and the size...and peeling those wrappers.

Now if they brought these little beauties out the week or even two weeks before Easter, there would be little issue. I would maybe manage a packet or two in that time frame, but when they are put out to tempt me a full three months before easter, it is a definite issue.

I have bought my second pack of these today since they were released and even managed to convince myself that because I bought them at Coles, it was completely and perfectly justified - necessary even - to contribute my cash to the Bushfire relief money that Coles is donating from all profits today.

I had to do my bit after all. Didn't I? The private donations we have already made were beside the point. Right?

I think there are about 6 weeks or so left until Easter. I figure that makes for around 3 extra gym sessions a week. If I stay away from the Hot Cross Buns at least...

Totally worth it.
