Thanks Zippy and savvy, didn'y know about the cup measure conversion... I have a v old book that has tablespoon measures (1920's) and have been using that or guesstimating but the cup one will be much more usefull!!

And Savvy no bread machine though I'm keeping my eye out on ebay for one!, So will be kneeding with the monkey...

Thanks for the help will let you know how it all goes later!!!;)

Great NMM , let us know how you get on! :j

NMM are you on freecycle? i got my BM for nothing from freecycle. Also I believe car boots etc are a mine for stuff like this

Nomoneymummy_2

Never tried freecycle but will be on there sometime tomorrow to put on bits that aren't going on ebay (baby clothes & bedding that can go to people who need them)

Will definatly look out for a bread maker! Off to start on the bread now so fingers crossed!!!

zippychick

Ohhh! How exciting, fingers crossed!

Well bread came out as quite ok, not brilliant but passable, problem was finding a warm place in the house to let the bread rise as heating was off and house was quite cold!!! Will warm house up better next time before rising, or look for a bread machine!!!

thanks all xxxxxxxxxx

I washed a USB memory stick the other day, and was equally stumped for a warm place to leave it to dry. A friend suggested on top of a computer! :rotfl:

ETA I've just felt my 'puter, and it's cold, but some of the others in this house generate heat!

I have a horrible habit of getting electics wet, mobile phoenes get dropped in sink so often!!! (Need to stop washing dishes and chatting at the same time!!)
Old margerine tub with a handfull of rice and whichever electric item inside works really well, the rice draws all the water out, works even better if there is a warm place!! Speeds up drying out time aswell!!!:D
