    Thank you Queenie! Do you think if I empty it into a bowl, wash the bucket thing and replace dough hook I can then put all the ingredients back in and it will work? Am a bit worried because it says the yeast should go in first but if I mess about with it all the yeast will be mixed in and may have touched the water - do you see what I mean? this is only my fourth loaf so am a complete novice as well as being scatty!

    I would try tipping everything out, putting paddle thing back in and then the mixture. Cook it on a quick cook loaf program. Nothing to lose if it comes out horrible!

    Bargainaddict - it is a 70% wholemeal loaf so don't think I can do that i.e. quick programme :confused:

    Thanks for the suggestion - am feeling very stupid! :o

    Just shove the paddle in through the mixture and on to the spindle - I've done it once - ok I ended up with clarty fingers - but I also ended up with a loaf too (I was a scatty breadmaker virgin 5 weeks ago lol)
    There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't

    In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice

    I've tipped it all out and slung it back in now and put it back on the timer. I never thought to just shove the dough hook back - d'oh! (no pun intended :D )

    I'm sure it will all be fine. That is my mantra :cool:
    I was watching Lewis and speaking on the phone and breadmaking at the same time - that'll teach me!

    Thank you everyone

    Chuck the mix out into a bowl, put the thingie back chuck it all back and start baking now, it will survive honest!

    I once put all the ingredients in and with a knowing grin looked around to see the BM bowl on the drainer - EEEEKKK!!!! What a mess.
