Also managed to make a quite successful attempt at rogan josh--- dealing with the yoghurt separating by whacking the heat up and boiling it to buggery :) It's amazing, too, how the cinnamon and cloves can fill the entire house in less than a couple of minutes.
Hopefully I will have a replacement phone soon... I got the impression from the CSR I spoke to last that I can just re-use one of the PAYT sim cards I've been given every time I upgrade, and just get it reassigned to my contract. Still, hopefully avoid losing the damn thing again.
