1. My pet hate is cleaning the pots and pans after cooking a meal.

2. I have a desperate craving for some chocolate.

3. It's not every day you get to eat in a posh restaurant and enjoy such fine dining.

4. I know I shouldn't eat cake but do allow me a fleeting pleasure once in a while.

5. It's not always easy to plan ahead when cooking but it can be important.

6. You know there's a power cut when the hum of the fridge stops.

7. I can barely hear what the waither says. He speaks in such a hushed tone.

8. If your parents knew you had started smoking, they'd throw a fit.
