Happy Easter! For Russian Orthadox Christians

Today is Easter sunday for the Russian Orthadox Christians amongst us! For those that don't know, today Russians will wake and say "Christ is risen" and then reply to the other "He has indeed risen!" and then give each other three kisses and exchange Easter eggs.

Easter is still very popular in Russia following the end of the Soviet era. A poll by VTsIOM indicates that around 60% of Russians will be celebrating Easter.

So if you wanted to get in the spirit - this what you need to say: Христос воскресе

And then reply with: воистину воскресе

Enjoy!

Cheap Christmas Presents

Yep - It's Christmas around the corner. Forget the summer, we'll only have a wet one and we'll be spending our days looking for sandbags and checking to see if we're covered on our insurance.

With money getting tighter everyday it may be wise to start thinking about buying your cheap Christmas presents early.

I've started a blog which aims to draw together some of the most useful information on the internet and from my contacts to help you have a great Christmas, but keep your costs under control - there's no point buying a turkey that fills you up, but you're stuffed when you get the bill!

Hopefully you'll find it interesting and useful!

Cadbury Market Share Slightly Down

The Guardian reports that Cadbury had slipped 0.2% of market share in the first 3 months of the year.

They apparently blamed the early Easter - but wasn't it the same date for every Easter manufacturer?

But when you read on, they say it's because they didn't heavily discount the cost of their Easter eggs in the supermarkets - and rightly so! They appeared to allow deep cuts of their product's costs, with some middle-of-the-road eggs being sold for about £1 in places like Morrisons and Wilkinsons. Tesco and Asda had them on sale for ridiculously low prices too. But these price cuts where paid for by the retailer, not Cadbury.

Cadbury Crunchie Easter Egg Review

'I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it'

The Crunchie easter egg comes with a cadbury's easter egg and two full size crunchies. Perfect for that Friday feeling…or Easter Sunday come to think of it.

The easter egg is wrapped in that oh-so-familiar purple tin foil and breaks easily into two pieces which feature a chick design on. The chocolate egg tastes just like you would imagine…and smells just like how you would imagine Willie Wonkas chocolate factory to smell. Mmmmmmm. Having said this, the chocolate does melt quickly in your fingers so beware if you have small kids and cream carpets (or big kids for that matter!)

This year Crunchie has teamed up with the National Trust to promote an Easter Egg trail (great way to burn off those easter egg calories!). The back of the box features lots of extreme facts. For example, did you know that the highest recorded speed by a snowboarder is 201.907KMH?!

This is a great value egg and tastes just as good as its yellow, purple and red packaging looks. A must-have for anybody who likes crunchies,
