Thanks Dastardly Den and Halex. I've gone with 100% wholemeal (because that was the only bakers flour I had to hand). Will report back when it's cooked. Currently having its first rest. 

My original hair colour is dark brown however, sadly, i am going grey. My hairdresser (who I think I'm going to sack) reckons i should start colouring my hair blonde so that the grey coming through is less noticeable. There is no way I want blonde hair. Am currently in desperate need of a re-colour. Need to find a new hairdresser that is less in love with peroxide!

I am going to try a wholemeal loaf of chookie's no fuss bread using halex's method. My bread attempts so far have been so-so. I think it's largely due to the fact that I have the world's most pathetic oven. I will keep on trying though!

I put Nonna in my reply then deleted it because I thought it may have been Greek.

Is it yia yia for a Greek grandmother?

Made butter oat biscuits from the original womens weekly book. I think they tasted better when I was 10 and mum put them in my lunchbox 

banana smoothie and some fruit&muesli bread

In cold places you could perhaps you sit the starter on a heated brewing pad?
