Now that I've read the t's and c' s I agree bit restrictive - if I entered, and I won, I wouldn't be able to share the win. :P

K Fire mangled that post. Should be : I can't make a long expensive journey...

I entered the comp for the yogs before I read the blurb. If I wasto win it would be of no useto me. Can I'm not sure it'$ 't make a long expensive journey for one pot of yogurt!

I think it's a bit unfair to have comps that only a few could take up if they won. hmm

Yuk for calorie free dark chocolate. 're the OP - either don't enter this one, or if you do and you win, give it all away! This kind of reminds me of a comedian I heard recently with a routine of his daughter wrinkling her nose at bubble gum flavoured medicine: "Are you KIDDING me? This is MEDICINE, which has to be flavoured so that spoilt kids like you would take it."

They look great - I wouldn't say no to a freezer full, if it had been an option.

My sister won a year's supply of Oxo cubes once. Actually more like a lifetime's supply, delivered in a box that looked as though it could have contained a 1980s telly. Which is why her heart nearly gave out as the delivery man dropped it on the way up the drive, then tripped and fell on top of it.

A lovely bouquet from inter flora, every fortnight. No calories in that at all.

Oh! That's such a swizz! You can only get one free yogurt per visit. So I'd have to make the 40 quid train journey to London each time I wanted a yogurt. hmm

Have you looked at the pictures?!!! I'll have'em!

Gin

Maybe we should suggest to GN the kind of things we would like to win?
A year's supply of delicious zero calorie dark chocolate maybe?

It isn't actually a freezer full of the stuff though, it's a card to use at the outlets smile

How do you manage to leave the rest of them in there though Shysal?

Asda do assorted flavoured little iced lollies made from yoghurt and fruit sorbet. They contain only 45 calories, so when I get 'the munchies' I eat one without the guilt.
I can think of better competition prizes than a year's supply, and there is never any space in my fridge freezer!

Who on earth wants to win a year's supply of frozen yoghurt ?

How sick would you and your dog (I live alone) get eating of this stuff every week? I visit the US regularly and love the varieties they offer (coffee and pecan are yummy) so why can't our suppliers give us tubs of these flavours? I don't want a copy of an ice cream dessert. Give me a tasty low-calorie alternative to ice cream, please!
