This has been on my to do list for aaaages and I haven't been in a hurry, but I've identified that there are several areas that need decluttering that I can't start on until I've done the paperwork, so I'll just have to grit my teeth...Nickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821748425176220106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92083436863512002.post-20141931566877382042014-02-06T10:03:15.358+01:002014-02-06T10:03:15.358+01:00'Don't stop me now....'

Like you say, for an hour or so 'work' you'll get (in our house) 6 months worth of soap. <br />Yoghurt is also quick, but you need to do it more often. <br /><br />Good luck with the paperwork! :SLiznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92083436863512002.post-60047472230813556882014-02-04T21:52:30.114+01:002014-02-04T21:52:30.114+01:00As I said yesterday you are really popping. There&...As I said yesterday you are really popping. There's just no stopping you now. The me yoghurt was most important. At the time we had our own milk from our house cow and we needed to do something with all that milk so we made cheese and yoghurt. Now I just don't contemplate buying yoghurt. it's just too expensive and frankly just not good enough. So now I can buy good Biodynamic milk and make yoghurt for less than the cost of buying a jar from the shops. And it's something we eat everyday and we can make it with out having to purchase any thing except the milk (the cow is dry at the moment) But these decisions will probably concern you for a long time until you get closer to where you're going. Be gentle on yourself and only do that which doesn't burden you too much. Take care and happy simplifying, it really is a lot of fun when you feel in control of your life.purplepearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599216333749480560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92083436863512002.post-4898640101488159812014-02-04T21:26:31.312+01:002014-02-04T21:26:31.312+01:00Yes been there - and I have attempted to do all of...Yes been there - and I have attempted to do all of the at the same time and it doesn't work. I think get the soap out of the way because you will be done in about 2 hrs and then you have about 12 big cakes of soap to last you ages and it is not ongoing.I guess the other thing I had to learn was it really is okay to go and buy the croissant ...there are going to be days where it all falls apart - the lesson to remember to get back to it after the day of the croissant.<br />All of the things you suggested are really fun things.

I've made it on and off before, but committed to only having homemade in January - if we ran out, we could only have milk on our muesli and that was enough encouragement to get on and make it! <br /><br />I read a lot of information about how to do it online and eventually found it was easier than it sounded. It only takes a few minutes to heat the milk, then it pretty much makes itself over a few hours. We eat quite a lot so I make 2l at a time as it lasts well in the fridge.<br /><br />Why not try it for a month or so - it will should become an easy habit in that time and you can move onto something new!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
