    Really? I'm single/independent and rent a 1 bedroom flat which including all bills & council tax comes to just under £1100p/m, and I'm not on a what I consider to be a 'big' wage but it still leaves me with over £1k a month for food and other essentials.

    My advice would be to contact the Hampshire FA and speak to their development officer/coach. They will know all the local clubs and be able to tell you the "good" ones in terms of approaching coaching correctly.

    I tried one of those organic veg boxes once, I ended up with a lettuce leaf poking out of my backside. I asked my doctor if it was serious and he said it was only the tip of the iceberg.

    If Bloomingdales are employing or outsourcing their advertising campaign to an agency, that agency needs to look rather hard at the environment that exists within the company. How that got to even the appraisal stage is beyond me.

    No work for me today, so I got on with things indoors. Loaded up the breadmaker and let it do it's thing. It got to the point where it chirped repeatedly while my head was in a food cupboard and I happened to see some old sultanas from yonks back, I mean really quite elderly sultanas [8-10 years.?], but they were ok because they're mainly sugar anyway. In a fit of putting 1 and 1 together to get 3, I threw the sultanas into the breadmaker. Hours later I haven't bothered to make an evening meal because this sultana bread is just so yummy.

    What bread maker do you have and is it much simpler than old fashioned bread making?

    My Panasonic breadmaker went phut, so I went back to a Lidl twin paddle jobbie. Here's a picture:

    please log in to view this image


    Silvercrest/Bifinett Breadmaker with lid raised.
    It makes quite big and varied loaves, doughs, pastas, cakes and even jams. Yes, to be fair, it is easier. You empty the ingredients into the breadmaker in the right order and it makes things for you, and quite well too. One thing, although any breadmaker requires that you do things fairly accurately [you can't just throw any old amount in there], it's surprising how individual manufacturers models produce the different end product. So you do end up getting to know your breadmaker's characteristic and play to it.

    As to the quality of this particular breadmaker, I've had it a lot longer than any other and it's never been a problem. It even has a point in the program where you can lift the bread dough out and remove the paddles, if you want. I don't bother because I'm often out. You can pull them out afterwards. The delay timer on it is great for that too. Also, you can leave the finished loaf in this one after it has done and it keeps it OK for quite a while until you switch the thing off. Others demand you take the loaf out immediately.

    Breadmakers are for people who like the idea of making their own bread without ingredients their digestion can't handle, and who are fundamentally lazy or busy doing something else, like being in the pub or stadium. You get good repeatable results.

    Thanks TSS. I'm thinking about one because I'm in the too busy catagory and also because I don't want to buy from a supermarket (I've remembered the angry feeling :emoticon-0121-angry) plus doing my own flavours. No small, easy to get to local baker.

    Couldn't see the picture but it may show up on PC.

    If you're using the Not606 app on your phone, go through the common internet method instead. Should work. As to the quality of bread vs supermarket, one huge advantage is that there is no preservative or stabiliser in the bread you make, and the variability of flavour and ingredients is entirely upto you, just as it would be if you hand made your own bread. Once in a while I do properly make my own bread, but it comes out no better or worse than the breadmaker bread overall. The other thing I've done is let the breadmaker do all the kneading, dough making and then emptied it into a bread tin and done the rest in the oven. That's fun too, but nothing is simpler than letting the breadmaker get on with it. I keep on telling myself to let it have a go at making pasta for me. I have a proper roller and an Italian make spaghetti machine too.

    Good to know you're acting on the anger. :)

    Ooh, I really like being able to take the paddles out so that the bottom of the bread is flat and not torn to pieces by trying to wrestle them out of the loaf! I've got a couple of really nice bread recipes (including beer bread) that don't need any kneading or shaping - very quick and easy but sometimes you can't beat a bog-standard square loaf. Have you tried gluten-free flour? I'd love to know if it works as well.

    Lucky you! Yes, I could not afford your living situation. I can't afford to live in any 1 bedroom flat that I've seen advertised as much as I'd like to.
