    Thankfully my name is not Martha :rotfl: Mardatha was a character in a book that read in my teens and I fell in love with the name and always wished I was called it! :D

    Perhaps it's that little red guy to the left of your posts that makes us misread your name.

    I think it sounds like a Red Indian name ... oops, should that be Native American? You get the gist ... someone running around the hills doing war cries ... chasing sheep, that sort of thing.:D

    If it was just for your dd, you could just buy in a few of the ready made up flours, then you just add water to them and don't even need a bread maker. They make quite nice mini loaves and rolls, hth.

    I've just been sorting out some winter clothes/packing up summer clothes. I blame you lot.

    I have actually had to hide several new fleeces that I'd obviously forgotten I'd bought (all in sales of course). Two good ones identical (and some very similar). If DH looks in my cupboard he will think the next ice age is expected imminently.

    Oh well - starting to look like a pompom again.

    P.S. Mad Arthur here too.
