    I should think so... but I can't work out what would be in pastry mix... isn't it just flour????

    Soappie - you need to teach toots to make her own pastry. I'm shocked and horrified! (next she'll tell us that she has pancake mix too ;))

    I've got pancake mix in the cupboard...& a batter mix....now I can't find an embarrassed smiley..! Think I need some of Soappies cooking lessons! Cakes I can do..everything else is a bit hit and miss!

    I'm honestly not sure - i havent seen a full list. It is 17 products in total, all the Dentyl products and some from the supermarkets.
    A lot of supermarket stuff are actually branded stuff in different packaging, IYSWIM, so perhaps those supermarket mouthwashes are Dentyl in disguise! How odd it should all be recalled!

    Hope you get some pain relief soon Davgirl, gentle hugs to you

    Hugs to FFP and Toots, glad you had some naps and that you feel the benefits soon

    I know they are, i buy very little branded. I was only buying this because it was half price!
    Apparently it is a microbacterial problem IIRC, all the recalled products are made in the same factory.
    Cant remember who asked about Tesco kids mouthwash? It is on the recall list.
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

    Jennybee your little one is so gorgeous!

    Soappie, you are gross! It’s bad enough counting hairs in the plug, but then I read they weren’t even yours! Yuck!

    Greenbee, glad your mum is home and I hope she is feeling better soon and that your dad can cope

    Princess Jane, what on earth were you doing in your dance class to get bruised and battered? And how on earth do you manage to do 14 hours work in one day? That must be awful? I don’t do that much work in one week!
    I really hope Pigpen and everyone else with sleep problems have a good night's sleep tonight
    Night night everyone, sweet dreams xx

    PS tomorrow I am going to do some stuff on the lists and am aiming for getting a bathroom star!

    I'm not gross. I was just putting on my forensic detective hat (and a rubber glove!). Better they are out and in the bin than in and in the plug hole. If I don't clear it, no one else will...

    toots if it was dated 2007 I'd use it! just mix it if it looks ok it will be fine!

    Feb 09 would be fine but if its 2 years out of date please dont use it. I did once and nearly poisened everyone. I made sausage rolls and jam tarts and thought it smelt funny in the oven. The pastry was the culprit and those that managed to swallow it all ended upchucking. Whatever was in it had gone rancid :eek:

    holly - bet DS2 was chuffed with his prize.

    toots - yes I'm on my hols now, so flying in the morning, cinema with DD and friend in afternoon, more flying saturday, packing sunday away monday

    Custard - wouldnt it (if not made properly) just be milk, sugar, cornflour and colouring

    Finances all updated and very little to play with until payday next Wednesday, thank goodness I got easter eggs already at the chocolate factory shop

    Right offski for now as bed soon (ps the antihistamine worked a treat last night, zonked I was :D)
