    the bread is now in the tin and proving before baking (approx. 1hr)...

    Clearing up the mess (a bit) and on to the Victoria Sponge which I should be able to do before baking the loaf...
    all good so far... :D

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    The loaf hasn't turned out quite right :( ...it hasn't risen as much as it should have done... still going to eat it though

    The sponge is ongoing, oven is not big enough to do each half at same time so I have to bake em one at at time, fingers crossed it turns out as good as last one...

    The sponge looks brilliant. The loaf might not look right but I bet it would taste good with some soup.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    The sponge cake is VERY yum, wish I could really share it with you guys, it is glorious.
    Very simple Victoria Sponge recipe from my Grans' collection...

    If folks would like a copy of the recipe and method let me know, be happy to post it up here.

    One of my friends makes the most amazing maple syrup and ginger cake. She gave me the recipe a couple of years ago. Now I've got a new oven I have no excuse - I'll have to try it. (I over-enthusiastically cleaned my old oven and managed to scrub the numbers off so couldn't see the temperature!) Having said that cake making is not my forte, I'm too impatient.

    Surveying advice... Swagbucks, when should I be thinking of cashing out and what is the best value cash-out option, how many swagbucks to the pound are there?

    Cheers
