no use to me, even near the campsite when on hols but thanks anyway for the effort of printing it out.
I like Total too but also have the Activia natural and Yeo valley, depending on my mood and wallet at the time.

Thanks Fiona  No, I'm originally from Glasgow but moved to Ireland a couple of years ago. I'm not sure if I can buy it here but I think I've seen it in the shops so will have a look this weekend.
For the most part things you can buy in the UK you can get here but there are a few exceptions. No one seems to stock Ski yoghurts or Quorn deli packs although I can get the frozen stuff. One or two places stock Irn Bru which is great when I'm feeling a little home sick but isn't very healthy

Mmm just made some tzatziki (sp?). Total 0%, cucumber, garlic, few drops of garlic olive oil, s & p - and mange tout as dippers. Lovely!

Afraid I'm a secret irn bru addict - I do have the diet version though which I think is a little less orange! Had it in Scotland on holiday once and got addicted! -- I stopped drinking Diet coke years ago but I'm sure Irn Bru is just as bad. Am cutting down a bit now though.

Yes seems to be in check now Fiona. It's since the 29th of June so about six weeks. Still think about choc but I know it will be the finish of me if I have some! I was off the rails before I decided to give it up and was on around 3 bars a day plus cake! Think of the money I've saved!

Quoting: helwilson I'm sure Irn Bru is just as bad. Someone I knew spilled Irn Bru on a pale blue carpet once. No carpet cleaners would even touch it! She contacted Irn Bru to ask what was in it and what would remove the stain, and they told her she'd need to get a new carpet

Made some sugar free biscuits earlier, courtesy of Fiona's lovely recipes posted on Favourite Recipes.
What I discovered though to go with them was Total 0% with cakey type flavourings. They are lovely and you only need a few drops (add to taste). I tried extracts of lemon, vanilla or almond which was especially nice with its fab marzipan flavour.
So a piece of biscuit, a dollop of the flavoured Total 0% and a slice of fresh strawberry on top - this combo is essential and highly recommended!

I tried the sheep & goats milk version of this today as I have a bit of a problem with dairy - unfortunately it's full fat - does anyone know if they do a low/no fat non dairy version?

Quoting: greyjean999 does anyone know if they do a low/no fat non dairy version? Think I've seen semi skimmed goats milk in morrisons, its the uht version rather than fresh.

Where do you get Total 2%? I love Total but I've only ever had the full fat version or the 0%. Maybe I need to get used to it but the 0% isn't creamy enough for me. Has anyone ever tried roast sweet potato with total? It's divine!

Does it make a difference on the make of the yoghurt???? I tend to use Aldi's 2%, I also think they do a 0%. Will have to have a good look when in next. Could hardly get to look at anything today it was that busy. I noticed all the Ostrich Steaks had gone out of the freezer though.

Quoting: Seli2 Where do you get Total 2%? Morrisons have started to stock it, and I think some Sainsburys do too. Some larger Tescos have had it, but it is harder to find there.

I saw the 2% Total in both Morrisons and Tescos to-day. I really enjoy the 0% but my husband likes the full fat Greek yoghurt and yes, he is very slim!

Quoting: susanreed Yeo Valley fat free yoghurt me too, but I bought Total 0% this week for a change and it is rather nice though seems thick to me; quite a different style from Yeo.

I've just spotted on the internet that the Sept/Oct issue of the free Tesco instore magazine contains a coupon for 40p of a small pot of Total 0%
