    Why did I never do that before - shove the ingredients into the BM and set to make pizza dough - super easy then top and cook and eat! Super delish! How come supermarkets and pizza companies charge so much when they are so cheap to make. Lesson learned and no more pizza delivery's coming here from now on. That was the nicest pizza I've had in ages!

    Yeah we won and we're still on to win! Great match, great competition which swung on a few points. Looking forward to Ireland v Scotland tomorrow

    Right better crack on with some reading while watching Lets Dance

    Its a breadmaker abbreviated to BM

    Forgot to mention earlier it was only NSD no 17 today - now there was time I never thought I would achieve that or anywhere near it either. I am very pleased indeed!

    Number big fat 19 NSD achieved - the most ever and did not feel the pull of the shops so much in Feb. March is quite an expensive month, however good news on making some money today from selling an electrical item I do not want or need. That will go towards the car tax tomorrow easing the cost quite a lot. Maybe one day when I sell something on ebay I'll be able to spend it on myself. One day in the future I'm sure, not for now

    Well tomorrow is car tax day, bill pay day, shuffle money into various savings pots day and then wait until next week for CC over payment then recalculate on the snowball calculator.

    Better sign off and do some work on the assignment as the deadline zooms up
