    Having a Muller light lemon cheesecake yoghurt.
    They are quite nice!

    Are you trying to torture us?

    Maybe I should get some - I'm on a serious 'no cooking /convenience food' diet for about 4 days. Cooking may be bit difficult - I'll have to find the cooker first and then judge how far away from me it is.

  • Awesome, I've just managed to work a reference to this site into an essay! :D I'm writing about faith schools (yes, still *rolls eyes*) and I'm happily tearing apart the argument of the British Humanist Association that faith schools only receive better results because they take less children from deprived backgrounds. That might well be the case but their data in support of that claim are figures from 2005 of the amount of children receiving free school meals in each type of faith school, compared to those of non-faith schools. I'm arguing that not all families earning less than £16,190 a years (Martin's figures over on the Benefits Check up article) are deprived. Not to mention the figure being 5 years out of date.

    That's good - I have lots of cereal.

    Once managed to set the arm of my dressing gown alight - why do they make dressing gowns flammable. It was impressive, if a little scary!

    Because they're not designed for cooking in?

    Impressive things are best off happening to other people...
