Sorry if this sounds a dumb thing to say but......
Does the mix a mousse thicken when its in the fridge, i used about 220mls of water,i've mixed it and its quite runnyish, just hoping that it doesnt stay like that when i get it out of the fridge
 
It is runny like a shake until it gets really cold. I pop mine in the freezer for 10 mins usually then give it a quick stir and pop it back in for another 5 mins.
 
I use a little bit less water. It's not superthick, but it reminds me of an angels delight :) and normally it would get thicker in the fridge. Though I pop mine in the freezer for 10 minutes.
 
I struggled to make it really nice , and even had some nasty lumpy ones , but if you make it like advised in the sticky thread about recipes for foodpacks it is amazing ... better than angel delight infact ... takes a bit longer than normal but sooo worth it !! ]

7. Return the pyrex jug to the freezer compartment for 10 minutes (you can leave for longer if you want a more ice cream texture).

8. You will know it is set if you can turn it upside down and it doesn't land on your feet :)

9. If you look up into the pyrex jug you will see bubbles on the surface and no sign of any gelatin lumps.

10. Enjoy!! :)
Please note that a cheap blender will not mix it well enough and will leave lumps in it which are very grim!!!
