Kirri - my breadmaker has two compartments, are most like that?

Hmm weird! Mine has 1 and so does my mum's - just got the bread pan in which you put all ingredients and then in the lid there's a compartment for seeds if using. Wonder what you are supposed to put in each compartment on yours? :huh:

My bread took ages to rise this morning so it's only just gone in the oven and I've not been able to get to the supermarket before the lunchtime rush, may as well wait till after 2pm now..

Back from Tesco and the 40 wash Lenor are back to full price, but manged to get 4 small ones for free. lol
Tomorrow I might add up all the total washes on the bottles, work out how much longer I have to live (average 70) and see if I have enough to see me through.
Knowing my luck, I'll be a bottle or two short. :rotfl:

Both my dd had chicken pox last year and used Mr T allergy relief medicine as this calmed down the itching and also calamine lotion.

Also make sure their nails are short as the scratching can leave scars.

Kirri - my bread buns were slow to rise the other day so I put them in a very low setting in the oven for 15 mins until they doubled.
Took them out, blasted the oven up and put back in.

I've never tried that! I'd be too nervous in case I overdid it and killed the yeast! I just sat it out... finally just eaten! bread was lovely but still not keen on the soup... I just don't like soup. Got another 16 portions of it to go though...

Hope your child's okay Gailey, always heard it's best to get it out of the way when you're young.

Just got milk and some mayonnaise today. Went to a shop on my university campus & it's pretty expensive, so never tempted to buy more than I need! I’ve meal planned for this week & foodwise I should only need an onion & a jacket potato & that should be it until Saturday. Got my brother coming over on Sunday, but we’re eating out so aside from maybe some cereal for him & some lunch meat for him to take lunch in on the Monday, shouldn’t need much else. Righto, off to work, in the wind & rain...:(
