    Ok just catching up on this thread again and why do so many people appear to be talking about doughnut makers??!!!!
    My kids have gone on about these for ages and I've refused to buy one, I just really don't think they'd get much use... would they?
    I go mad with my DF for buying as many doughnuts as they're not healthy, so why would I want to go making them? Do I need to be convinced otherwise?.
    I actually need a food processor before any other gadgets really.

    Your pantry looks fab Jamie! I have a really cold room on the side of my house.I call it the utillity room( has no heating and houses just a belfast sink ), though its just used for shoes, dumping ground at the moment.The council is putting in new windows and doors in in January so it will be fanastic.I plan to make as much use of it as possible.Bulk buying here I come.

    You're right Jamie I can't wait.I already feel thankful for having such a fab large house with small rent but the windows and doors are going to make such an improvement.That room will be much warmer and more appealling.I'm going to put some worktops in and shelves and boxes.I love BOGOF offers but have been restricted as to how much I can store.Now I can just go mad.I hope to get the garden into gear this year so will have somewhere to store my veg ect thats not too hot.I'm signing upto so many challenges ect on here I'm getting addicted.Do love the recipes on here and seeing everyones pics.
    Hope your day improves Dee and we see you on here later :)

    Jamie, shame you removed your photos, I'm sure we could all have lived with the wide pages. your pantry looks brilliant, and I'm hoping to follow your lead and have a raised bed next year, even a small one would give me so many more options for veggies :)
    ... don't throw the string away. You always need string! :D

    rosieben - the photos are still there....you just have to click on the link instead now:) which means it doesnt muck up everyones viewing of the thread (must learn ho to make photos smaller!)

    the raised bed im hoping will give me the space to grow my veggies this year, plus whatever i decide to grow in containers:D i cant wait im really excited about this. that flowerbed was basically doing nothing:( and now it can earn its keep!!

    molly - its really exciting when you can see things coming together and finally realise a dream or two:) im looking forward to getting the pantry finished and putting shelving in! i will also be able to hang things up to dry in there, put all my jars of Hm jams and preserves......and all the dried things once i get a dehydrator;)
