<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey everyone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well its been a mighty while eh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
----------------------------------------------------</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly my Blogger and Emails got hacked and took an age to sort</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My OH for 13 years left me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was in a very black hole</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had to scrape myself back again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im still working on it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been the hardest thing EVER</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ive had to ask for help with money matters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ive gone for weeks without much money</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im just getting there financially </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ive had to be more frugal than ever</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been a great lesson</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I will win</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Right-e-oh i have in my store cupboard about 10 boxes of Granose Chicken Style Meat Free Roast mix from Approved Foods,each box has 2 x 75g sachets in, its over date as most things are but that doesn't affect the taste or quality of the mix. I have made it up as instructions on the box and make a type of meat loaf from it, and have also made burgers by adding onion garlic and spices etc..now my son cant bear the stuff and myself and OH thought it was, just OK, so i was thinking i am willing to send out three seperate lots to whoever would like to try it, tell me what you think of the stuff, and maybe what recipe you have made from it? i would be interested to see what you come up with...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyone interested?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Im hoping its fine at the weekend, the yard walls need a quick tidy up, some pots need weeding, the garden gate needs repairing, the privet needs cutting, windows need cleaning,...heck why do we always have things to do, I honestly cannot remember the last time we just sat down in the evening, to watch rubbish tv, read a book, have a web ponder, pin a few things .. always busy .. hey ho, no need for boredom in this house..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thoughts in my head this morning: <br />
Geeze how long does that paint need to dry? hurry up hurry up<br />
Hmm I hope that wallpaper looks right against the carpet<br />
What on earth is that postman doing?<br />
Where on earth has the dog put my slippers?<br />
Need to make bread<br />
Need to get dog food<br />
Should I let my son go on the school ski trip?<br />
Must make a crumble with all those apples!!!!<br />
HELLS TEETH<br />
That's just for starters haha ..<br />
<br />
..........Its coming along.........<br />

Raining here in Lancs this morning, i wanted to get some washing out but have had to put it all on the airer now, hopefully it will blow over and i'll be able to peg out later. Just had my breakfast and a brew, and a catch up of the news online..this Malaysian Aircraft disappearance is baffling, those poor people and their families, doesn't bare thinking about, you would think in this day and age that they would have located it by now.. i'm not religious but sincere prayers for all those people involved, i hear that the relatives are threatening going on hunger strike until more information is released, i think the majority are thinking that they are not being truthful about the whole event.</div>

Thankfully the walls are plastered and repaired now so i can wallpaper it soon, we managed to find a bargain £5 roll of paper, just enough for the one wall, the floral cream, brown, black wallpaper will jazz it up no end :)</div>

I didn't do a roast tea last night we had a vote and opted for a Mummy McDonald's, my version-basically a vege burger loaded with salad,cheese slices,garlic Mayo and tomato ketchup stuffed into a home-made bread roll ... yummy ... sorry no pictures as we scoffed the lot before i remembered to take a picture haha im doing a quorn roast tonight, another house favourite with all the trimmings..</div>

Hello my friends ... heck i've been away a while, i didn't realise!! ive been feeling a bit out of sorts the past couple of weeks, house repairs that need doing, the weather, this and that .. you know the things... i have also have been naughty with money and had quite a few days of getting a treat to take to work, a chocolate bar here and there..which means unnecessarily spending and my waistline expanding more!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Drat, anyhow i've put a stop to that again and feel a bit more on track now...i have been keeping on top of the savings however and have managed to save £600 since January which i am really happy about, i've had some ebay sales too, so it all helps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Firstly sorry again for picture quality, I had to blog from my phone today as the laptop was having a paddy, maybe the weather? not sure.. and i've lost the camera while we have been decorating..woops.. its a foggy morning today in Lancashire, and cold brrrr...glad i got all the washing done the last couple of days..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So our very large hallway was in desperate need of redecorating, it had a chip paper on the top half and a blown vinyl on the bottom, the paper was coming away at the top half and after taking a look and removing the paper it was in a terrible state, its took me two days to remove one wall, the worst wall at the top of the stairs...blimey... i was wondering why i had started?? i redecorated my sons bedroom painted the walls grey and put a feature wallpaper window side and at the opposite of the room behind his bed... he chose his wallpaper and all in all we spent £145.98 on a complete makeover ...</div>

DS is 11 years old and wanted a more grown up room that was black and grey, we couldn't afford new furniture so i covered his beech coloured wardrobe and drawers with a black gloss fablon, and my gosh it looked fab!! hahah DS thought we had bought new at first, we did buy a new bed as his old one was old and it was a mid sleeper so getting a proper bed was great, especially for my back when changing sheets, my days of climbing cabin beds are over!! our terraced house has two small ish bedrooms and so it needed planning thoroughly... eventually we got it looking right and he is thrilled with it, so this prompted the hallway makeover as the new bedroom made the hall look even more shabby!!! and not in a trendy way haha...</div>

Just look at the state of this wall, all these gouges were covered in a green felt like stuff its took some blinking scraping off, i still haven't quite finished, the whole wall needs filling now too. Due to how bad this wall has been we have decided to just magnolia the other walls as the paper looks ok, we are thinking of putting a feature paper on this wall to jazz it all up a bit...phew... cant wait to get it done now its getting to me as the bathroom is next then the spare room, when we had all that bad rain we had a leak in the spare room and that needs papering and painting too..my parents are visiting at the end of march so it has to be done...hells teeth..i need a break lol..<br />

I think the other walls look ok ? .. clean and fresh at least, we had some crown magnolia emulsion left so i have used that, although i think we will need another tin, but so far not spent on anything for the hall, we will need just one roll of paper for the feature wall and our local B&M'S have wallpaper for £5 a roll so its not looking to bad..the struggle will be to find something we both like and that has brown/cream patten on as our carpet is brown!!!</div>

Blimey I was freezing when we got back, big mug of tea, and hot porridge was very much enjoyed, a bit of a relax, now I need to nip out for a bit of shopping, and I've got a bag of bits for the charity shop that need dropping off...I really cant be bothered this morning its still raining and a 15 minute walk into town, I might leave it a bit longer yet see if it fines up a bit before I go to work this afternoon..</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ive made another £15 on eBay so have added that to the January eBay account, it all adds up eh?there is another couple of bids on a few things so that's really good for the account..<br />
<br />
I want to put a bit extra on the Farmfoods saving card today when I go out, i think i will add another £10 to it so there will be £17 on it now..<br />
<br />
We added a bit more loose change to the savings Tin, I will count that up on Friday and then Start February's Tin..its looking full so that's good..as always I have added £10 to this weeks on-line savings we have £50 in that, so its all adding up nicely.. a great January already..<br />
<br />
There's a pair of Sons pants that need stitching and a new button on so if iv'e got some spare time that needs doing today too...<br />

Hi everyone...brr its blinking cold up North today, well it has been all weekend actually, same as many places i believe, windy, rain, thunder and hail, i thought we may wake up to some snow this morning , but no, just more rain and wind..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The hail was making such a racket i opened the back door to have a look and everything was covered...i went to grab my phone to snap a few pictures but the battery was dead!!when i finally managed to snap a picture most of it had melted but there was still some around because it was so cold...Diesel Dog hid behind the sofa in the back room when i opened the door i think he thought i was going to make him go out lol..</div>

I bobbed in Tesco on Saturday as we needed a few basic bits and i spotted this jute bag with the Tunocks print on and then LOVE on the other side, these were £4.00 reduced to £1.50 so i got one to put away to go with my mums Mothers day bits, these bags are really useful and she likes to use them when shopping, plus they are her favourite chocky treat :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What brand of shampoo and conditioner do you use? how much do you spend ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img.tesco.com/Groceries/pi/892/5052910500892/IDShot_225x225.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img.tesco.com/Groceries/pi/892/5052910500892/IDShot_225x225.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img.tesco.com/Groceries/pi/836/5052910553836/IDShot_225x225.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img.tesco.com/Groceries/pi/836/5052910553836/IDShot_225x225.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I buy Tesco Brand shampoo and conditioner 300ml each for 75p each, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loreal is 250ml for £2.89 and Pantene 360ml is £3.69 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cant understand how people could pay that price to wash and condition their hair, I know some pay more certain brands are nearer to £5 each - crazy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been using Tesco brand for a couple of years and I find it works very well, in smell and results are very similar to the Pantene ones, I will continue to use Tesco version as long as they still sell it, sometimes its on offer any 4 for 3 so £2.25 for 4 products works out at 56p each, great value, so next time its on offer I will get a few extra...there is the choice of For Normal Hair or Dry/Damaged Hair too which is great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A couple of years ago I purchased some pump action shower dispensers for 50p each, I squeeze the shampoo and conditioner into one each and its really surprising how little you use when you use these, its so easy to squidge a handful out of a bottle when you don't need it, it stops kids emptying half a bottle on their head too hahaha I find that a bottle each when put into the dispensers last us about 3 weeks, and I wash my hair every day ..fab!! .. another advantage to these pumps are you can actually see what you have got as the dispensers are see through..so you don't un-necessary buy more when you can see what you've got !!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know there is the value ranges out there that are cheaper and you get so much more for the money, but I find they dry my hair out terribly so I don't mind paying 75p each..however if we had a house full of kiddies I think it would be fine to clean their hair with the value brands, Tesco Value 1 ltr shampoo for 40p is a massive bargain...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have tried the Alberto Balsam ranges, 400ml for 75p, fab value, they smell really nice but again dry my hair out, so I stick to the Tesco ones...these ones come in several smelly fragrances too ..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just what I use, and if that helps someone wanting to try it then great, it saves me money so I get to put more into our savings over the year.. all these little things make it able for me to save save save.</div>

Morning Bloggers..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I went to put the kettle on as usual this morning and it blew up !! so I had to boil a pan of water on the gas stove, which I am not happy about it took 7 minutes to boil so I could make a pot of tea for two and one coffee... our kettle used to boil in about a minute, I dread to think what gas you would use if that was how you boiled your water every time you fancied a brew!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heck, needless to say OH will be picking up a new one on the way home from work this evening, as I cant afford to be boiling water with gas. Argos have some basic style ones for about £9 so that will do us, our old one was a Tefal Red one, very nice but the pre 2013 years we would spend what we wanted on bits for the house, well not any more so a cheaper basic one will boil water just as good and we will have some spare money left.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need to pull the fridge out because the socket is behind the unit for the kettle to plug into, I will probably need to take the plug off the new kettle to feed the wire behind too...oh blooming heck what a faff ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well its raining again, just for a change up North, it woke me up bouncing off the windows at 5am this morning, I couldn't get back off after that so I've had a lazy morning so far, I need to pull my finger out and get some bits done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When im stressed or worried hence last nights post I bake or go into a cleaning frenzy, I've wanted to make banana muffins for a while, I had saved some bananas and freezed them so I took some out last night and found a recipe online, reviews were great, I had all the ingredients, so off I went and made a batch...flaming eck they were awful, took an age to cook, and believe me I can bake, so I couldn't understand why everyone's reviews were great, lovely fluffy tasty muffins ??? mine wouldn't cook, still soggy in the middle baked for nearly an hour?? well I don't know what went wrong, so the birds will be having a treat when we go for a walk later..i was really looking forward to them too..oh well..im just annoyed that I've wasted precious ingredients..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've scoured the cupboards and freezer so see what I could prepare for tea tonight, looks like it will be shepherds pie, I was going to make a lasagne but we don't have any tomatoes in the house so that's that, I've got plenty of potatoes, onions, plenty of Quorn mince, some reduced yellow stickered sprouts and a bag of yellow stickered runner beans, so that's tea sorted.. ive got a packet of Angel Delight in the cupboard from Approved Foods so will whip that up for afters... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right I've got a few bits I need to sort for the post that I've sold on Ebay grand total this month for ebay is £12.65<br />
<br />
That's it for today my friends <br />

This evening we invited someone into our home, our lovely warm home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent 'our' time with them, I cooked a meal, provided drinks and desert for them, for me to end up feeling totally gutted 3 hours later to find out that said person was caught red handed by the OH attempting to steal from us earlier in the evening...I feel dreadful I truly do...I don't even know what to say but felt like I needed to put this down in writing...........my mind wont switch off now, whirling round with what ifs and scenarios..............</div>

I am determined to reduce our household utilities, when the alarm goes off at 7am it is very dark and cold in our house, one bedside lamp goes on and while OH is in the shower or having a wash I put a pair of joggers and a fleece over my pyjamas, dressing gown over the top to keep me warm, then I wake my son up put his lamp on, then I will go down stairs in the dark, and I put one lamp on in the back room..</div>

It just lights up the corner of the room, I then go round and open up the blinds ready for 8.20 when we have enough natural daylight to turn them off. Make the teas and coffee flick the heating on low and then our morning routines will begin..it would be so easy to flick every light on throughout the house in the mornings and to put the heating on full blast..but when trying so save money we simply cannot afford too.</div>

Our kitchen is an extension into the back yard and has a concrete floor and gets very cold so slippers and thick socks are a must at any time of the day but in the morning its freezing cold.. the OH and Son have left for work and school, the lights are off and I now get to have my breakfast, todays choice is porridge and a large tea (pint size) I have worked out that a small glass of porridge oats and a larger glass of milk measure out great for my porridge, bung them into a bowl and into the microwave for 4.5 mins and hey presto its ready, more energy efficient than cooking for 15 mins on the gas stove with a pan to then wash up. A large tea will fill me up for the morning and saves boiling the kettle twice for two mugs of tea...</div>

We have workmen digging u the road outside our house, so noisy, it unsettles poor old Deeds and he starts barking and running around the house.. I best get ready and take him out for his muddy walk, its bin day too so I need to sort that out..it seems bright but looks cold up North today so ibetter wrap up warm..</div>

Due to all the bad weather that has been battling the UK I saw on Facebook last night that in Lake on The Isle Of Wight (where my parents still live) they have had another landslide on the cliff path, we were only walking on it at xmas..I forget now that I live up North that these things still effect the Islanders, any increase in wind or rain and the boats have to stop running, cutting all connections to and from the mainland, the roads flood very easily and in many areas there is only one road to get you where you are going, so if its flooded it tough your not going anywhere.. and the many landslides that happen..when I was a child in places the cliff path that you see in the photo's below was a football pitch away from the edge of the cliff drop, now its only a couple of meters away...the Island is shrinking fast...seems funny to me now, but its just normal life there...</div>

Afternoon bloggers..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I went to Barclays this morning got the online banking issue sorted out, and have had a play around with that this morning, very happy with it, easy to use and I can now see exactly what's in there and what's coming out, happy so say that the rent had already come out and what I saw on the screen is what we had left, so knowing that I bought two lots of smart price yoghurts from Asda 66p for 8, and topped up the saving card to £10, I also added £10 into the weekly online savings, and bought two lots of toothpaste for £1.98, I found 56p in my coat pocket so have just popped that in the tin, and that's it now im not touching any more money in any account until next week..im feeling much happier now..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I am supposed to wait until the last day on January to count the tin money but it was looking good so thought I would count it up so far...grand total of £39.34 so far saved, really happy with that, I will keep adding when I have change left over in the next 11 days.<br />
<br />
I had a till receipt that I kept on forgetting about for Boots, so I bobbed in to add the points onto my card, its up to £7.38 to spend in store so I shall hang onto that encase I see something to put in the Christmas bottom drawer.. :) I don't really use Boots, only for printing our digital photos off so that's how I get so save the points..its far to expensive for everything else!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we nipped in Tesco at the weekend I needed to get some toothpaste as ive been using up every little squeeze in the tubes that have been put back into the landing cupboard!!! why do we do that ? anyway so I had a look, and didn't buy any, Colgate Total was £2.99 a tube heck what a price to pay.. I looked down town as I know our local 99p shop do Colgate, yep I came away with the exact same toothpaste I saw in Tesco for £2.99 a tube and I paid £1.98 for two packs..great..that will last us a good while yet...and a good few pennies left in the pocket :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly welcome to a new follower Sara @ A Frugal Wife :)<br />
<br />
Hi bloggers, I thought I had been doing really well over the last couple of weeks, didn't draw out of any of the bank accounts, only spent a few pounds here and there on shopping. So when checking my account on Saturday I was really shocked and worried to see that there only seems to be enough to cover the rent that is due on the 22nd..im baffled, I am going down to Barclays in the morning to double check, and I can use the machine inside that checks all transactions that have come out or are due out...sigh... there is always a constant money worry niggle isn't there? im hoping that for some reason my wage hasn't gone in or cleared, but ive not had that problem before..we will see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We needed some grocery shopping and some bits from town yesterday, I made a list in the week but as usual there always seems to be more. At least we had OH account to pay for the shopping bits, £7.35 in Farmfoods, £19 in Aldi including a very naughty treat, although reduced I really needed cheering up and a small but delicious cheesecake came home!!! I made a homemade curry, with rice and naan bread, it was delicious, I still had a bottle of wine left over from Christmas that was a gift from my boss, so a couple of glasses were enjoyed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Back to reality this morning though with the rent and general living account, I tried to register for online banking so I can keep a beady eye on things but it keeps saying that my surname is in the wrong format .. cripes what next! .. so I will sort that while in the bank tomorrow too as I'm not paying the telephone charge to call and tell them I have an error 90!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the bright side I made £9.50 on ebay over the weekend so that's good,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Feeling defeated, but I will pick myself back up..i managed to find some loose change and 5p on a shop floor so that went in the tin..it all adds up eh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
See you soon</div>

Firstly welcome to a new follower lah2563</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need to stop snacking on goodies, yes I am a snacker and I love cakes, biscuits, deserts all things like that..my OH doesn't really eat things like that so if it gets bought or made then its mainly me that eats it so I need to watch what im eating a bit more..so far this morning Ive only had healthy porridge, and it was very nice on this wet and grey day, I think I will have Heinz Tomato Soup from Approved Foods (33p) and a couple of slices of homemade bread for dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a no spend day yesterday and I have no intentions of spending again today, we have a store cupboard full, a freezer full, and the fridge is just about hanging on, but I shall find things to make for dinner and teas. I will need a few bits at the weekend but I wont be spending much, we only need fresh milk, tea bags, fruit, some cereal and eggs so that wont come to much. I've got 7 potatoes left so I will make them last another week before I buy a sack again. I will have a look in Tesco at about 3.50pm as there is usually yellow stickered bits reduced a bit more than usual, however they have been rubbish lately.. I shall look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For tea last night I took out of the freezer some Quorn Mince and Onion that I had prepared for a Shepherds Pie, but I defrosted it, made a quick Short crust Pastry in the blender, 4oz of plain flour, 2 oz of butter dash of salt, and cold water, bring it together and it makes just enough for a pastry top, so we had that with half a cabbage from Aldi 39p range, and a bit of lurking mixed veg that needed using up, couple of roasties each, everyone said how nice it was, which was nice, clear plates all round :) I love mince and apple sauce on any roast dinner, I even love it just on a plate of vegetables ... yummy ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure if im going out for a walk with Deeds this Morning, its bad and lazy I know but I just cant be bothered, I didn't have a very good night sleep again last night, turning all night!! the night before I had bad dreams all night and woke myself up crying twice, when I went to the bathroom in the morning I looked a right state, puffy eyes, mascara runs and I had scratched my face and had blood on it !! Blinking Nora what a mess..Eee I don't know. I may take him on a pavement walk on the lead as the trouble with taking a near white Miniature Jack Russell out in this weather is you have to shower him every time as he gets literally black..he looked like he was wearing black trousers yesterday LOL..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway sorry for waffling on - bits to do in the house so see you all later </div>

Fresh bread straight out of the bread machine smells lovely :) I use a basic recipe that works for me, I have tried a few suggested recipes but have failed each time so I stick to my own now.. it goes against the grain really but its how I do it and it works great every time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a 1.5lb Loaf I use -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 cups strong bread flour </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons of sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 sachet of dried yeast</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 cup warm water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 teaspoon salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/4 cup olive oil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I add the yeast, warm water and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the dough pan and leave for 10 minutes or so to bubble and rise, then I will add my flour, sometimes its all Strong White and other times its 1 of Strong Wholemeal to 2 Strong White, then add the salt to one corner and then the olive oil to the other, switch it on, choose 1.5lb loaf, medium crust, basic programme press the button ..hey presto 3 hours later its ready :) When I first got my machine I found it all very daunting but when I found this recipe to work for me it literally takes minutes to prepare..happy days..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fingers crossed its a little dryer out tomorrow I don't fancy getting soaked while out with Deeds..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just encase you are wondering our Jack Russell (son no2) is called Diesel, but answers to DeeDee Deeds, PunPun and Puppy Boy ..!! haha</div>
