The Rubik's cube was invented in the 1980's by Erno Rubik who used to teach in a school at Budapest. He invented this cube to help students learn about geometry but he then decided to sell this cube as a brain challenging toy. As soon as this toy came out thousands of people went to buy in what is now called the Rubik craze. Nearly thirty years on this toy is still a huge success.
The object is actually quite simple. You have a cube with 6 faces divided into nine segments. Each of the nine segments is in one of six colours. Now all you need to do is make all six faces the same colour and you have solved the Rubik's cube. The only problem of course is that it is a teensy bit harder than it sounds.

The OXO Mum was Lynda Bellingham ...

Fox´s Triple Bar
Triple the Chocolate?Triple the Delight
I don't know about you but there is just something completely delicious about a chocolate or digestive biscuit with a cup of tea or coffee (more coffee with me since I went off of tea when pregnant!). The right one can go perfectly with a mid morning snack (or if you are like me, mid morning, mid afternoon and mid anytime!!). The only thing with me is that I usually get bored of the same biscuits over and over again. Finally I have found one which actually this hasn't happened!
