My first attempt at making a sponge:
Spend 5 minutes trying to fit the "turny" bits of the electric whisk on to the electric knife.
Google "cream butter and sugar until pale" and watch the video on YouTube.
Put butter and sugar in bowl and cream until I am looking pale and wan.
Beat in eggs (easy peasy) and sift (aye aye!) in flour.
Pour mixture into sponge tins and bake at 180 degrees.
20-ish minutes later, remove from oven, cool for 5 minutes and remove from tins.
Look perplexed at flat, sticky things.
Cut a small piece off one of the flat, sticky things and taste.
Throw flat, sticky things into the bin.
Find a Penguin biscuit in kitchen cupboard and forget all baking aspirations.

Thought it looked a bit quiet right enough!
I was amazed there were only 20 pages to catch up on considering I hadn't been on since yesterday morning.

I could have written this! Haven't been on here since yesterday am and was expecting a marathon catch-up session but don't think it will be too long. Maybe the weather is discouraging everyone from venturiing out?

Will have a read back and pop in again later.

Hi everyone
Please can I ask a quick question
Saw yesterday a couple of people mention a food processor they got on DTD
Saw one in my local Rtc £49 reduced from £90 a key wood 13 function one
Can't remember the exact model number
No scanner in this store and several humialiating troutings
Don't want to send brother on a wild goose chase
Please please could anyone who got one of these in the last day confirm the model number they got
Thanks kids due home any second will catch up with you lot later x

Its the correct one but if its RTC then it wont scan at the higher price. I found one today RTC £40 but scanned at that. Its an FP196 by the way.

Also found a denby but SA was most perplexed when she couldnt get it to beep.........we inspected it closely to find it didn't have a barcode on it anywhere!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks JJ,

Oops. I understand.
It doesn't look deliberately offensive, just a bad choice of expression.

Absolutely! I'm 100% certain there was no intention to offend whatsoever.

I know some people would find it offensive, and I was only hoping to avoid a row before one started. Nearly started one myself, methinks.

Let's move on, huh?
