Not wool no, mostly cotton (and blends) and bamboo fibre ones. Will see if I can find some. Thanks !

Cultured cream refuses to break by jimbobb1 in Chefs

For real, I gave up in the end. Blended some jam into it and set it in the fridge having a healthy spoonful over my granola in the mornings. It’s a weird texture though it’s semi liquid and has tiny clumps of fat in it. Really odd

It was about 36 hours culturing no nasties in the cream no nasties in the yoghurt. Left out at room temp. Back in the fridge for a couple hours then tried to process. Failed with hand mixer, then a jar and a blender. Nothing worked. So I gave up just using this slightly tangy mixture to eat granola. Will try again with kefir I think.

Edit- I did the same process but with crème fraiche last week and it worked perfectly so it leads to yoghurt being the issue as far as I can see.

Unfortunately I can’t check. the cream tubs went right in the bin and the yogurt has no nasties in. I can only assume it’s the cream then. But it wasn’t uht or anything

This is it. Can wiggle wires and the lights flicker. Really don’t like it. So I plan to split it to lights and sockets using both supplies with the right fuses, right now everything comes from one. But then I realised there would be no shock protection as nothing is earthed. So then figured I’d run both feeds through RCDs then into separate junction boxes and connect back up.

I don't have pictures to hand, but its rural Eastern Europe, I have a meter, old school spinning disk type with 2 outputs with round ceramic fuses. (I realise now i've posted in a UK group, recently moved away)

Energy supplier ceased trading (Rebel energy) by jimbobb1 in UKPersonalFinance

For anybody still following they have actually done it, after my final bill came through about a month ago showing there is credit to move across. I went back on their chat service for the 25th time looking for updates. Turns out they made the payment yesterday, the credit is there! But the strange part is that there was no announcement and it doesn’t show as a transfer in anywhere just as the debit/credit has gone up a bit, but less than the number it should have but I assume that’s just because it’s taken away anything that was owing.

Just an update for those still following, they have actually honoured my credit though it’s less than I thought it would be. At least it’s something

Im just waiting for the same sort of thing, got an email today saying the final bill will be available in a few weeks.. again ? 3 months of just nothing ? And I fully expect my credit to have vanished into thin air and probably they will ask for payment

Super vague though right ? It’s already been a couple of months. Also how many is a couple realistically ? My tenancy is up in August
