    Hi, so this week I've started a 18 month FTC on a reasonable rate, but it will look very good on my CV. I still have the LTD and plan to go back to contracting. The company gives you 2 weeks off for brevement, which is just as well as Himself has just popped his clogs. His timing always was...

    How are people on the bench finding the market?

    Did anyone use their lockdown time profitably?

    Sure I use this one:- Recipes - BBC Food I always use 00 flour and I have a stand mixer to kneed it. The dough will last fine in the fridge for a couple of days - in fact it improves it. I also use a good yeast, I buy Fermipan and keep it in the freezer. It seems to work much quicker that the...

    Same here - except its a husband and I didnt do any work. :D BUT I have made some great bread and we will never get takeaway pizza again as home made is soooo much better. My daughter has started to sew her own clothes and i have made a load of funky face masks for family and friends.
