    Lol I'm sure it's fine, as long as it smells and tastes ok then I doubt you'll poison anyone! And it's only a day out! If it makes you feel any happier, I'd feed it to my friends :)
    :D**Thanks to everyone on here for hints, tips and advice!**:D

    When Philli goes off you get spots of black mould. If you haven't got that it's fine. However check the underside of the lid as that's where it starts because of the moisture there
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    If there is no discolouration when you remove the entire lid, it's fine. I'd eat it quite happily (and it's yummy stirred into pasta). Any liquid is just whey, completely natural and can be added to the pasta or drained as you prefer.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
