I want to make home made pizza - does anyone here do it? Any recommendations for the tomato sauce base? Thought might buy ready made bases to start with, then progress to making the dough, but I think we should be able to make the dough in our breadmaker?

Will wander over to the old style board, bet theres some ideas over there..

Hi mogchops - I made HM pizza for the first time tonight using the BM... it was so good and really easy. For the tom sauce I just used chopped onions fried up with garlic then added a tin of chopped toms, tom puree, basil and pepper... left it to simmer for a while then blitzed it with my hand blender.

Have a great night everyone x

Evening all :j

Today I have:

Sent OH shopping, and he actually came back with what was on the list for once :eek:

HM meals from stores - Thai green chicken curry tonight (yum)

Seen to plants and animals

Washing on line to dry, 2 loads

Done some weeding

Had hair cut (not MS, but needed doing and wasn't too expensive)

Done a bit of cleaning, though not enough - it is like a bomb site in here :eek: I am shattered after work and at weekends, but really need to get a bit of motivation.

Nice cup of Earl Grey, then off to bed for me I think!

going to start turning off the hot water again a couple of days a week to save pennies.

stopped myself buying a new vacuum cleaner, i really want a smaller one so it takes up less space, plus ours isn't designed for hard floor surfaces and has a bit which doesn't work. have to keep telling myself i don't need a new one even at half price or better!

repaired cooker door, OH suggested we just buy a new one! took me 10 mins to fix the handle back on!

Hey fellow DFWs :hello:

Today I have:

• Got milk from our corner (ish) shop which only costs £1.09 rather than £1.53 at Te$co/$ainsburys/A$da :money:
• Added points on to Nectar card
• Had tea from freezer (spag bol)
• Tidied house

Hi everyone :wave: thought someone should start us off on this gorious sunny Saturday

So I just received my companies structure chart and I am definately either the managert or asst manager. Thank god was really nervous because there is 1 manager from another team who is displaced and I was nervous that there was a chance I'd be competing for that. Like Jo said yesterday its a weird thing because I'm so relieved I'm not out of a job but feel a bit guilty for thinking that...

• clean bathroom (maybe lay flooring?)
• banana bread
• hm bread x 2 oh did one - will do another tomorrow
• [STRIKE]get chicken out of freezer this morning & put in the fridge to defrost for tomorrow[/STRIKE]
