    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

    chicken yategirl!

    chicken?


    I will have a search for that soap recipe - was it easy? I made soap about 5 years ago... wasn't difficult if I remember but I wasn't impressed with the results..

    good luck with the yog!

    oo just looked at the linky carrie & I think I may have gone wrong wth the amount of starter - I only used a tablespoon! Will see if this lots works (please work!) and if not try it with 3 tablespoons...fingers crossed!

    good luck with this batch,ISOM I'm gonna try and do this myself tomorrow I think, I bought a pot of my fave yog ( just a plain onken bio pot) at local shop today, cost me £1.43 for 500g so if it works would save me quite a bit I reckon. I've only got a normal flask though, not a wide neck one so hoping that will do :confused:

    Go on yategirl...you know you want to!!
    Good luck carrie! My third batch is yogging (I hope!)
    Just tried my HM hair pack (2 parts jasmine oil, 2 parts almons oil & 1 part coconut oil...all purchased from indian shop) and its lovely. Needs two shampoos to get it out as very oily but leaves hair feeling v. soft & yummy! Now going to chill with weatherman dvd..

    Hello Weezl and everyone else! I've only just registered after lurking on a daily basis for some time now...!

    I've been avidly reading this thread from Day One, and couldn't hide any longer - so hi! :D

    My name's BB, and I'm about to buy my first house with my fiance....scary stuff, especially the huge hike in our outgoings - hence my frantic searching on MSE for some ways to become more frugal! (it's quite fun actually, my OH thinks i've gone mad though)

    Anyway, I'll stop waffling on - but congrats Weezl on your challenge, it's fantastic and very entertaining to read! We're nowhere near the 50p mark (yet!) but the inspiration is great - thanks! Especially all you guys that grow your own veg - our new house has a garden so I can't wait to move in and start growing things!

    Until next time... :hello:

    bb
    :love:"Live long, laugh often, love much":love:

    Welcome BB

    We are a really friendly bunch so don't be shy

    Had dinner on my new patio in the rain ............but iy didnt matter cos its got a roof on!!!

    It was nice ........we had more H/M chinese food

    fried rice
    veg chow mein
    spicy crusted turkey
    s/sour sauce
    steamed pack choi with oyster sauce

    lovely but too much washing up as needed loads pans and served self service from big bowls ..................one pot dinner tomorrow...haha

    ISOM had a bath in bath fizz !!! smelled nice but not much fizz hubby didn't like the bits ....................then again he didn't really like the idea of bathing in a white powder sent to me by some woman i "met" on the internet much at all ....LOL i do feel relaxed though what was in it??


    Re the pura soap maybe you overmixed it a bit it does trace very quickly, the olive oil one doesnt set for a couple of days ......dont worry if its a bit soft tomorrow

    Good luck with the yoghurt if you master that you can try quark!!

    Shaz - off to watch CSI ....well try not to fall asleep watching CSI like usual
    Aaah Eddie Cahill ...swoon swoon:smileyhea ie Detective Flack
