    Doh - never thought to look but I think you've solved the mystery - it's March 2007!!!

    That's what you get for buying in boot sales. Perhaps I'll pop down to JG and get a fresh one and give it another chance.

    That'll teach me!
    Oh dear, here we go again.

    Or is the Easiyo not all it's cracked up to be?

    I've refilled it with boiling water and I'll see how it is late tonight.

    But I have the feeling I'll be looking out that plug timer and going back to my old electric one.

    The Easiyo is fine, never failed me. I doubt that extending the time with more water will make a difference.

    OK, I've been to JG and bought FRESH sachets and started one off as per the instructions , a low fat mixed berry one.

    I don't know whether to take it out tonight or leave it till the morning - any advice?

    i tend to do mine overnight , saves any guess work

    If you like it thick leave it in, I usually aim for 12 hours as its easy to remember but I've left it in 18+. Though I almost had to carve that one, thought of subbing for playdoh...
