    Dear (or dearest or darling) husband, dear son, dear daughter.

    Personally I use OH which is other half, not other husband! (One is more than enough ;) ).
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    There's another thread, based more on Old Style usage, linked at the bottom of our "Welcome to Old Style" sticky.
    Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there. Board guides are not moderators and don't read every post. If you spot an inappropriate or illegal post then please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com. It is not part of my role to deal with reportable posts. Any views are mine and are not the official line of MoneySavingExpert.
    Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

  • How can I get rid of the smell of fish? I cooked some trout for lunch and I've just come back into the house after being at work all afternoon and it stinks!!

    Put your coat on and open the windows ;) Sorry not very helpful, but you'll just have to wait for it to go - won't take too long.

    Is it possible to cook a leek and bacon pie (no pastry just topped with mixed potato and sweet potato mash) from frozen?

    Yes you can! To check that it's ready, put the point of a knife right into the centre. Wait a few seconds and when you remove it, check that it's piping hot, and it will be safe to eat.

  • I recently got a yoghurt maker from Freecycle. I've followed the instructions (boil and cool full fat milk, add Yeo valley natural yoghurt, leave in the maker). However, after 3 hours it doesn't appear to be setting properly.

    It's like thick, curdled milk, rather than smooth yoghurt :confused:

    Am I being impatient, or am I doing something wrong?

    Many thanks, Penny. x

    Oh my goodness, I leave mine for 12 hours :rotfl: 10 at least, but I use UHT milk straight from the carton so it isn't warm. I should allow 8 hours for your yog PP ;)
