Oh my gosh - shocked to hear about the website scam 😮 I'm not even sure I would consider it could be a scam once they'd actually set it up. Sending hugs.

I looked into that a few years ago, but concluded it was more expensive to make your own as plain flour and SR flour are the same price, but baking powder is more expensive.

I'm a bit fussy & was keeping an open bag of each & a full bag of each. Cutting down to just plain saved a lot of space.

Thanks QueenJess and badmemory I get both points and thanks for the reminder that I can make it here if I find a recipe that calls for it. It is quite nice here you can always buy fresh yeast in the supermarket something I really missed when I first moved to England and baked a lot then I got used to the dried stuff.

Website is back and I am really not quite sure what the scam is but they are not doing what we paid for that is for sure. We paid for 5 years hosting and domain name so they clearly only paid for 1. They claimed they transferred it to our own names back in May which would have been fine as this would not have happened. The good thing is that it is only £12 a year so I will push for it in our name or get the provider (which is not a scam company to transfer it to us). I have already started that process. When the website goes your emails goes as well and I could not do any marketing yesterday. We are finally making traction with 10,000 views from one local group so really annoying but not worth the risk when the site and email was down. I have asked for a back up of the site which means we can recreate it with the hosting service (not a scam) and then we are away from them. They they continue to host for another few years then obviously we save that money. They have also been helpful every time we have had an issue so it is weird this happened.

Funny thing searching for information about the company and them being a scam it keeps coming up with they have a Liverpool address but they are not registered in the UK. Yes we should have checked that out but I am actually not that fussed now that we have paid and the site is running.

The hassle with that knocked my whole day out and I got very little done. My sister is coming over today as she has a local physio app so not worth going home before going to work. I love seeing her so that is great but it means no work again and I have golf this evening.

We went to practise yesterday and as per usual (back in the UK) DG was not happy with her shots so she cancelled todays game. So annoying and she is not going to Jumping on her own either. I do despair sometimes but the website really freaked us both out.

The guy about filling the ditch has been in touch and he will send a quote today so that is super quick. They are still working next door so makes sense to do it soon.

I need to get on with work, dishwasher is emptied and the washing hung out so that is a good start.
