You don’t need all the equipment either, if you like that kind of stuff. Got a recipe off the internet. No one likes that kind of stuff. It's paint stripper, with added flavour. You might convince yourself it's ok, much like I do with my culinary attempts despite missing half the ingredients, but don't be fooled. Everyone who tastes it will say it's lovely, while slinging it into the nearest bush when you're not watching. Eventually you'll start googling what sudden disease has killed half your garden, while pride stops you pointing at the endless glasses of semi sparkling murky poo you've convinced yourself is a decent substitute for Moet, Chapel Down or even Lambrini. Lockdown will end, yet every time you ring friends up their first question will be 'Do you have anymore of that delicious Champagne you brewed?'. Answer in the affirmative, and they'll say sorry, the Beebs showing my favourite Mrs Brown's Boys tonight, and my Sky Q box is playing up. Use it to clean Birdshit off your car, or to clean the patio, and save yourself a circle of friends and a lifetime of indigestion.

In the end, I make about 3 normal white/wholemeal mix loaves a week. Bloody lovely bread & much more healthy than shop-bought, with less than a quarter of the sugar and salt in those. Also pizza dough (for the daddy & daughter pizza making sessions) and speciality breads. I made a sun-dried tomato and parmesan loaf last weekend to go with an italian meal I was making and it was soooo good. It’s on its maiden run. Got a 1kg basic loaf on the go. Flour everywhere!!!

Rev Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 New in, a table top standing desk for £150. The present Mrs Devil has been signed off with sciatica for two weeks after 3 months of nothing but Zoom meetings from 7.30 till 5pm! Seems odd to be signed off when you're stuck at home regardless!

There's a lot of it about. Muckerette's also suffering from it. She's spending most days sat at her sewing machine now, as opposed to previoulsy walking to work then being on her feet all day (Shop assistant). Anyway... enough about my household... what can you tell us about the future Mrs Devil? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus would normally set of for work at 7.15, get herself sorted at work, nip for coffee and breakfast with her colleagues, then spend the day shuffling between meetings, working at her desk, crossing the office to talk etc, now it's 8 hrs + of sitting at the same desk. As for your query, it's easier to imagine a future Mr Dragon than Mrs Devil! Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
