This time last week I attended my first ever event as a "blogger". I use the term "blogger" loosely, as it still makes me chuckle to think I am a blogger. But anyway.

And I understand the reasoning behind the plastic, however there is no need for the box now is there really. There is also no need for all that extra plastic around the egg bit (I need to take it easy on the plastic related technical terms). I know these things can be recycled but there is still a lot of waste involved, and it's definitely not the chocolate that gets chucked away!
