    I doubt you will get ill from that, I think thats why we have an immune system. you might need an emergency download :eek: but I doubt you will die from eating food left out overnight. If you said two or three days then maybe but overnight hardly gives it time to do anything.

    Jem an hour in the life of bacteria can do terrible things:eek: I know all these things and Istill did it:confused: but I'm still fine:D

    sell by date....what's that????!!! :confused:

    I try to ignore them as best as possible!!! Now mould, on certain foods....now thats a way to tell you it's gone off....... :eek:

    I blame it on my Mum....she never followed them either!! If it wasn't mouldy, or the mould could be cut off then it was fine to eat!!!! :o

    I usually go by the rule "if it's not got mould on it it's ok" :eek:
    Not a rule I'd generally recommend but not dead yet :confused:
