    Apart from about 5 mins of ironing on a con call the rest was done before and after work. I think you and I are the only ones on here that like ironing :rotfl:

    Back from holiday yesterday but wanted to say I like ironing too.

    Tilly, a bit slow on commenting about Mr Ts lack of work at the mo but wanted to give you a pick me up. I know you are missing your big OPs, however you are still managing TTs and everything you have done before will be helping you now. With your frugal lifestyle you will get through this with no problems and then we can all get back to wasting time on Natty's thread and leave yours for those money type discussions!

    Is bread making easy, I am considering giving it a go?
