Keep calm and carry on....

It's like one of those great philosophical questions - how can you prove something which does not exist....🤔

Are you sure you didn't dream this survey, SC? The amount you do, it wouldn't surprise me 😂

South_coast

🤣🤣🤣 I would be inclined to agree with you - except there's no way I could dream up something that dull 😮

P.S. Setting aside the missing 100 points from i-Say, I'm having a fab month on the free money so far. Only £35 to go to hit this month's target, and I have £10 due from S&S in the next few days, nearly £11 pending on Prolific and should get another £15 (I know!!!) from my deodorant test shortly. Hopefully I can continue in the same vein for the rest of the month and bring the targets down further for the rest of the year - I'm so over a monthly target now, definitely not setting one or even monitoring it next year!

You do realise there’s only yourself making you do it now? You don’t *have * to continue for the rest of the year? There’s no point making yourself miserable!

Yes, but I set a target and I want to stick to it 🤣! Plus I might be quietly retiring one of my exercise goals shortly, so it would be good to keep one going! At least some high-performing months mean I don't have to mess about with silly little earners like Qmee and Curious Cat too much, so it's not the huge time drain it used to be. Also, I may have paid off the mortgage, but all I can see in front of me are a huge list of expenses and savings targets, so I feel I need to have an "every little helps" strategy - even if the amounts are ridiculous 🤦‍♀️!

Just worked it out and I need £460.28 to hit the annual target of £1200 that I set myself

Right, Project Pizza Dough update: 

Attempt #1: Ended up very deep pan rather than thin and crispy, but I know where I went wrong

Attempt #2: This one ended up very thin and crispy (🤣) but I know where I went wrong

Attempt #3: Avoided the pitfalls of attempts 1 and 2, so the best so far. Didn't take a photo, as I was at BF's and he already thinks I'm crackers, so here's a photo of some kittens instead

Verdict: Much better than shop-bought and cheaper too (not an intended consequence, but it's surprising how many times that happens). I can see improvement and have a few ideas for tweaks going forward, but need to have a few days off eating pizza for now 🤣!

I might try bread next now I'm on a roll....😀

I make pizza dough as a treat for the family and a homemade tomato sauce.  People can then customise their toppings as one child doesn't like cheese much.  I think they taste better and are more fun.

I saw what you did with that bread roll comment...

I make bread including flatbreads and pittas.  They are all much more straightforward than it seems.

We are having homemade pizza tonight, with homemade sauce and then each person tops their own pizza to their taste. For variety sometimes we build a temporary pizza oven in the garden and cook them in there and occasionally we cook calzone on/in a fire and other times like tonight they go in the oven.

We make most of our bread, rolls, crumpets, naan, flatbreads. For some reason, we buy bagels and tortillas.
