Badger's budgeting begins

Tut tut Sista

I sold my breadmaker just over a year ago. When I first bought it I used it loads but eventually we just started buying bread again I've tried doing it with my KW Chef but it never seems to turn out right
The one I had was Morphy Richards one and it did loads, I got it for about £40. Everyone who has a Panasonic one raves about them though!!

Had an email this morning saying charges are to be applied to my Sder account. I haven't been OD on it since the 30th May but there will be £3 charged so they obviously work more than 1 month behind?

Off into college today to be shown around the library there as I'm starting a course related to work. It's one that you do at home but I have use of their facilities. I'm hoping this means a student card as well :rotfl:

Shame about the charges, how do they expect people to budget if they apply charges so late.:mad:

I sometimes make slow bread, that's really easy to do, don't need a mixer or bread maker, just throw everthing together, give a very short knead, and leave to prove in a fridge for as long as you like really, I often bake as needed and have left the dough in the fridge for a week and a half, and it was still fine. lots of free recipes online.

Good luck on the student card that would be very useful.

Can't see your pic as work computer blocks it, so will have a look when at home later

I sometimes make bread by hand, when I've got the time, and I find it really theraputic I can't see your pic at work either, but I'll have a nosey when I get home

I don't get on with my bread maker,, feels wrong to put so much salt and sugar into bread.. Has anyone got any good recipes for bread without those.. How easy is it to make by hand??

Thanks badger, will look at that app.. X

Great photo :-)

@ Belle, when I had a breadmaker, I just didn't add the salt and sugar, didn't seem to be a problem, you could give it a go with a small loaf and see how i turns out. I make slow bread by hand and that's really easy, because you don't need to do the whole kneading and proving bit. Link for good recipe below, again I don't add the salt.

Thanks Fae

Well the charges are because my statement date runs from the 28th of the month so I had the 28th, 29th & 30th May where I was using the OD. I stupidly assumed that it would run from the 1st of the month.

I got a student card for the college but that's just to use to access their facilities, I am eligible for an NUS card though I am a little bit excited lol it also means I can get into footy cheaper.

Laptop has decided it doesn't want to charge any more so it's got to be plugged in permanently.

Nothing planned for today really, back to work tomorrow so just going to chill out

An Nus card sounds good

My laptop does that as well and I refuse to buy a new battery they are so expensive :mad:

Hope you have a lovely chilled out day

I couldn't live without my bread maker I use it to make cakes, bread and jam a lot. My mum bought it for me a year last christmas and I think I have used it every week since. I'm too lazy to make it by hand
