Hypno's kick up the backside debt diary....

Hi all, not tried the yoghurt yet, but will do so tomorrow.

El, the book hasn't arrived yet, but I am sure it will do so tomorrow. Will let you know as soon as it does.

Cooking tartiflette at the moment. Will be delish but am using very strong French cheese so my kitchen stinks!! I am sure it will be worth it though, although definately not good for the old waistline.

DS has been in a basketball tournament today and his school came second so that was good to watch, and he got his SATS results as well, straight 5s so I can be a proud mum! I know people have varying opinions of SATS, all very valid, but still nice to get good results!

After dinner I am off to a local playgroup for a pamper evening - giving people tasters of the therapies that I offer in the hope they will book up at some point in the future!!

Ztd - how warm does it have to be? Room temp or airing cupboard sort of temperature? How long will it keep in the fridge for? And will it keep okay out of the fridge, if I used it in packed lunches? Sorry for all the questions and sorry for the hijack Hypno!

Airing cupboard temperature. I have a heat tray which allegedly heats up to 19C.

Not sure how long it keeps in the fridge. The yoghurt continues to mature while it's there, so it gets more and more "solid" and granular. The oldest stuff I've eaten was about a month old, but very "grainy" especially towards the bottom. Did me no harm, but then again, I'm a man, and an ex-student. Male students are notoriously difficult to kill with food poisoning...

It is OK to take to work/school etc. Or at least I've never had any problems. I usually take a full litre and eat that over the course of the day. Not kept in a fridge.

I have told the children about this and they are both happy to give it a go....will be buying live yoghurt and uht milk tomorrow and hopefully in Friday's lunch box they will have yoghurt!!

As for food poisoning - my family are used to being fed out of date food.....if it ain't crawling off the plate, it is still ok to eat. They must have stomachs made of lead by now, but I reckon in the olden days when there were no sell by dates it was all ok, so why not now!! Mine would have been hospitalised long ago if dates were all we went by

Good luck with the yoghurt!
I hope you are feeling a bit better now than you did first thing this morning. If it is any consolation this weather is making me feel a mixture of bad things at the moment however a cra ppy job doesn't help either.

So...whenever you are feeling down...think of me wanting to flush my Line Manager's head down the toilet and have a smile on me!

Hope you enjoy the play group tonight, sounds like fun! and yay to DS for the SATS results!
Sorry to hear your struggling looking ahead, seemsto have been that kinda da for lots of people. we need sunshine!! any one of our lovely DFW'ers a white witch per chance?! if so, cast a sunshine spell in a norwichy direction for us?

Have a good evening

This yogurt thing is great, thanks Z - deffo going to try this over the next few days, my stomach could do with some help.

I liked the cheese straws thing too - I'll try that with gluten free flour.

I am sitting here eating the most fattening delicious dinner ever - Tartiflette. Have just been reminded why I never seem to lose weight when skiing - even though I ski my socks off, I eat loads of this stuff. Double cream.....cheese.....bacon.......potatoes......heaven!!

Love the toilet thought LA. Will keep that one with me

Hope everyone has a good evening. Open a bottle, and relax.....xx

LOL! I kept the page open too long for pushing the reply button - all sorts of weird stuff popped out the woodword. I didn't know *what* to expect when I read hypno's comment about the toilet!!! LA, thats priceless!
