I can be iffy about the texture/taste of cheapo flavoured yoghurts but I love greek or thick yoghurt. I mainly use it in cooking though. I tried making my own once yonks ago - don't what I did wrong but suffice to say it wasn't edible:o
Same, love the Greek type, only tried them a month or so back, but now the only one for me. I did have a bash years back making my own yoghurt, it worked and tasted OK but in the end just CBA to do it

Today is MOT day, left the car and bus back. Not much useful "stuff"in SM, just bought one YS bashed tin of custard and had to get a move on 'cos rain was on the way, since arrived and in for the day now
The custard was spur of the moment, with the weather & freezer sort through I decided once I spotted the bashed custard I remembered it's companion was in the freezer. Jam sponge pudding. now out defrosting and ready for nuking later :T
Late breakfast / brunch of toasted crust & marmalade
Lunch was BLT sandwich, last 2 of the bacon rashers used up.
Dinner is comfort fry up. Using the extra veg I cooked on Sunday, with eggs & mushrooms mixed in, sort of omelette, or call it frittata and I will pop some grated cheese on top
Followed by freshly nuked jam sponge pud & bashed custard. Looking forward to those bits anywayEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -
I went out in the driving/atrocious rain and returned with a bit of furniture bought on Facebook.
Only one thing for it then ... I was damp, cold, hungry .... it was a big bread roll, lamb/mint burger, cheese, ketchup and chips.0 -
Still raining, but dinner over & done with
The fry up omelette thingy turned out very well, with LO beans anice warming meal
The jam sponge with YS bashed custard was as lovely as I had hoped. Half left for tomorrow

Good evening everyone,
I hate to say it but the weather has been lovely here today though getting chilly now. It's not due to last though if that's any consolation for those who have been cold and wet today .
I spent most of the afternoon in garden, tidied up my courgettes which are definitely on the wane and did lots of dead heading- you can really see Autumn creeping in.:(
Holly - have you thought about making tuna fishcakes or a tuna pasta bake to use some of the mountain up? (Though no doubt it would add to your freezer stash......)
Farway - your dinner sounds like what my kids call "Fridge Frittata":D, such a good way of using lurking bits up!
The tomato & veg sauce is simmering so I'll brown the meatballs and cook some pasta in a bit.0 -

I decided to eat the "most awkwardly shaped item in the freezer" - so it's some hot & spicy chicken fillets in breadcrumbs and some steam indian inspired rice - both bought from 4ldi the other week instead of me going to get a "proper takeaway".
I've added the last of my instant curry sauce too.
Although the two bags were the most awkwardly shaped ones in the freezer, removing them both didn't seem to free up a single inch still!0 -

Have same problem with 3 no signal at friend's houses. I am told there is a way round it that links it to the wifi signal and uses that to phone when there is wifi and no phone signal. Thinks it was an app but some phones work directly. Have you tried that? (Edit ...Three In Touch)
The fact that our 3 friends have developed it must mean that the no signal indoors is quite common.:mad:0 -
Thanks caroncand PN fotr the freezer thoughts. I tried to reply earlier but having posted last night the computer went all blackscreen on me. Fear there is a big purchase coming up and it isn't a freezer:o
My freezer compartment is 15L so it fits all the essentials and I've never bulk bought and wouldn't know where to start - assuming it means a half cow or whatever? . Think I may stick with that unless I get down to better meal planning which might be a better first step for me:(
More MS YS tonight but was yummy and half left for tomorrow.:)
edit - I always have trouble with the bold on MSE, really no idea what i do wrong but be assured it wasn't me shouting!!
edit2 - oops now the bold has gone completely!0 -

I think I will have to start meal planning based around bulky items, for example, use up the lamb shanks, and the beef joints as they take up so much room.PasturesNew wrote: »I decided to eat the "most awkwardly shaped item in the freezer" - so it's some hot & spicy chicken fillets in breadcrumbs and some steam indian inspired rice - both bought from 4ldi the other week instead of me going to get a "proper takeaway".
