    Wow :D

    Alot to catch up on, but I am there now ;)

    You all seem to be doing really well.

    I had quoted quite a few things to answer, but alot has already been answered... but here is a couple that I didn't notice the answer for :o

    Pammy... Wholemeal or brown bread in the bread maker is kneaded for a bit longer than white, so your bread may be a little denser than you would like it to be... ...
    If it isn't edible, then you could either make breadcrumbs withit, and freeze them.... or some sort of bread and butter pudding... either a standard sweet one... or a savoury one, using cheese and onion or whatever else you fancy putting in it :)

    Weezl.... I realise you are still looking for savoury snacks ??
    And maybe still looking for soups to be tested ?
    I am off work for the next 2 days... So, if you need some stuff tested, I will be available to do so.
    Just list what I have to work with, and I will let you know how I get on ;)
    I have most stuff in, thats on the list anyway....and what I dont, I will get from the biddies (my parents :D)
    And dont worry if it has meat in it... I dont eat it, but it doesn't bother me to prep or cook it (the biddies will have it in their freezer, I'm sure) ....
    And I am sure my parents will be glad to be taste testers, they always are ;) :rotfl:

    Just enjoying a cheeky glass of HM rhubarb wine now, that has been aging for 15 months:drool: :D
    But good luck to all tomorrow on DAY 1 :D

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I can't remember how much this stuff cost me to make, as the rhubarb was free :j from a friend at work... maybe about 40p a bottle ish... but like I said, it was made almost 18 months ago, so it may work out about 50p ish a bottle, if it was made now :eek::rotfl:

    I will post you a pic, to see what you reckon Arty :D:o

    bread came out ok and I have sliced it and put it in a bread bag from this morning :) kids seemed to like it anyway. I think I will use it for toast in the morning.

    you'll laugh though as the paddle from the breadmaker came off and was stuck in the middle of the loaf!!

    A bag of popcorn kernels costs 51p, makes loads and lasts ages. If DH is still hungry after any Bob & Shirley dinners, that's what he'll be given as a snack.
