Strange thread I know :o

but....

I have 4 pints of milk with todays date on it and no idea what on earth to do with it. Just wondered if anyone had an ideas?

Also...I have some patio furniture that's kinda a ridged white mesh that has gone greenish over the winter. I've tried a rubbing it with a cloth with a diluted bleach solution on it but it hasn't helped at all, any ideas at all on how I can clean it up?

Thanks in advance :)

    i think cif cream would probably get your chairs clean, but you'll need a lot of elbow grease as well! ;)

    Hubbie's gone out for some puddin rice and some eggs, so gonna try an egg custard and rice pudding, and have a milky coffee with the rest.

    Paneer sounds lovely, but I fear maybe a little too adventurous for me :D

    Hadn't even tought about freezing milk, thats a great idea for when I need to make a cheese sauce or something.

    You know when you have a complete block on what you can do.....that was me earlier :)

    Thanks everyone. :) and for the links to the threads about the graden furniture, they aren't the hard plastic ones, but some of the ideas sound great :)
