To think having children is not a right!

If you can't afford children thats just tough! IMO. We should abolish child benefit to be spent on real rights such as having something to eat and decent levels of sanitation. I would rather my hard earned tax went there than child benefit!!

Making a generalisation but surely in family's where no one works, do the children follow suit?

Probably as likely as not being able to make a plural properly follows down the generations.

What ever you do don't make chocolate cheese cake as its rank, yet both are my favourite things

TwatFaceBitch · 08/02/2015 16:55

sorry Your cheese cake sounds lovely also idont

HowCanIMissYouIfYouWontGoAway · 08/02/2015 16:55

I much prefer cheesecake to chocolate cake. Chocolate cake is overrated (oh yes, I said it Grin )

new york baked cheesecake with a huge dollop of cream and some blueberries

Lovely.

ghostyslovesheep · 08/02/2015 16:55

yes make those feckless children climb up chimneys

Idontseeanysontarans · 08/02/2015 16:55

It's strawberry and lemon cheesecake with cream so it'll be lovely but I want chocolate cake now!! GrinGrin

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 08/02/2015 16:56

Another roast chicken here. I can smell it now. It's delicious. One of those roast in the bag jobbies

Typed, as in googled, Arsenic.

FayKorgasm, it was 'You Win Again' that fractured my psyche. All that fortress taking.

FayKorgasm · 08/02/2015 16:56

I love new york deli cheesecake. Or creme brulee.

Arsenic · 08/02/2015 16:56

Has anyone tried the quiche in a cup?

Would quiche in a cup followed by cake in a cup be too depressing?

pineappleshortbread · 08/02/2015 16:56

Oh chocolate cake is not overrated when done probably and I will dare anyone to say different (please.don't take chocolate cake from me)

ghostyslovesheep · 08/02/2015 16:58

only if you don't wash the cup in between Arsenic

Idontseeanysontarans · 08/02/2015 16:58

Might be serving it with the steak yet as I appear to have run out of vegetables... Bollocks.

Arsenic · 08/02/2015 16:58

Oh I see, (cos sometimes handwriting makes things look odd and alien). Will go and try it.

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 08/02/2015 16:58

What exactly is quick in a cup?? Is it as obvious as it sounds and why would you put it in a cup? Do you have to sort of wedge it in

FayKorgasm · 08/02/2015 16:58

Radiohead lyrics are brain warts.

HowCanIMissYouIfYouWontGoAway · 08/02/2015 16:59

oh Olivia, that is a terrible thing to do to a poor egg.

scrambled egg in a cup. With bread. Quiche?

where's the pastry? The pastry...

For shame, Olivia, for shame...

Arsenic · 08/02/2015 16:59

The lyrics - not the cup based repast - someone else can go first on that, even with appropriate washing up.

Chillyegg · 08/02/2015 16:59

Do you think that the Jeremy Kyle show is a snap shot everyday public service documentary on poor people op?

Ooo cheese cake!
Do you know what I haven't hade in years! Keeping pie! Is it just cream and and a biscuit base? What makes it Limey? And kiwiish?

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 08/02/2015 16:59

Quiche not quick Hmm

LineRunner · 08/02/2015 17:00
