Simple living in the country - back to basics

We've done sweet pizzas before at a friend's house - same dough, but then spread chocolate spread, peanut butter, banana, walnuts, syrup, whatever on the top 😁

I'm thinking we might need something more exciting though - biscoff spread? White chocolate buttons? Marshmallows? Suggestions for exciting things that will stand being in the oven for 10 mins appreciated!

Ah I wondered if the dough recipe needed to be altered. Fab thank you

You'll wish you never asked - caramel & apple, any other fruit especially strawberries & kiwi fruit, smarties & anything similar & add ice cream to serve.  You can add anything you fancy after its cooked too.  Personally I think this is something better served deep pan rather than crispy base.

Cheery, the pizza party sounds great fun, I really hope nothing else crops us to thwart your plans.

Ooh, badmemory, that sounds ace! 

Fingers crossed indeed. Mr Cheery currently has some kind of stomach upset. Hoping it's of the indigestion type, rather than anything contagious. I'm sleeping on the sofa with the dog to give him space to be restless. The dog seems pretty pleased but I'm not sure it's going to help me be a human dynamo tomorrow 🙄😂

Yay to sweet pizzas!  Uh-oh to sleeping on the sofa with the dog, while Mr Cheery has stomach upsets   Here's hoping for the best.

Poor Mr Cheery & poor you too.  Hope you get a decent nights sleep.

Sadly I don't think last need will have topped up my sleep reserves... 🙄 I' still drained from collecting the dog on Monday night - I had 3 hours that night, two nights on the sofa since, and one normal sleep which was good, but hasn't made up for the rest 🙄 Normally I sleep well on the sofa, but the dog does take up a bit of room bless him, and while he's not THAT much of a fidget, he does still move about a bit and wake me up...

Hey ho. Tonight will be a bit of a damp squib I suspect! Not that we had many plans beyond sitting on the sofa, but I'm unconvinced of my ability to sit up much at the minute!

So, today. I'll let the chickens out in a minute, and take the dog in the garden for a quick comfort break. The last cafe breakfast of the year perhaps, before uber frugal January starts?? I've still got one or two family presents to buy, and it's my last chance before Sunday, so I'll need to pop into town for that. Hoping Mr Cheery will stay here and take the dog out, but it seems unlikely so I'll assume he'll need a proper walk before we abandon him to go to the cafe.

Best get up then I suppose. If I get dressed before chickens (rather than justvstanding in my dressing gown while he has a quick wee) I can turn the first dog walk into a longer one, and then I won't need to go twice. Most inconvenient not having an enclosed garden!

Does the cafe allow dogs in?  One in our village does and Watty dog loves going.  He meets new people has a long round and it helps him socialise and feel part of village life. He also wins a sausage from the owner each time and a little bowl of treats is served with the human coffees
