Not moving after all!! :-(

So after weeks of holding everyone in my chain off until we got an answer from our mortgage provider they came back to us!! yey!

THEY REFUSED TO PORT OUR MORTGAGE!! boooo!!

The reason is I have gone part time and we now have 2 children so now they consider the mortgage we currently have, that is easily paid every month, as not affordable! What The...........

When I eventually stopped crying and calling everyone I know to tell them what horrible thicko's my mortgage company are, I thought about it and, although we still won't be near to any family, the town we currently live in has a lot more kid friendly stuff than the town all our family live in. Which is a nice thought.

Plus my hubby just bought me a 100cc scooter, peep peep!!!! Got to do my CBT then I can scoot about as much as I like :-) after years of not having a car when hubby is at work and the car do we have being a diesel guzzling monster, it's gonna be great to nip out when I want to.



The day I got the bad news I needed a cheer up and nothing does that better than pizza and garlic bread.

Easy peasy recipe.........

Garlic Bread & Pizza Dough
300g self raising flour
80g butter
100g grated mature cheddar
pinch of salt
4 tbsp s/skimmed milk

I always put gloves on for this as I hate getting gloop under my nails!!

1. Preheat oven to 220 deg C/ Gas Mark 7
2. Rub the flour, butter and salt together until it resembles breadcrumbs. (use fingers)
3. Add the milk and cheese and mix (with spoon) until is forms a ball of dough.
4. Break the dough into 2.
5. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to about 5mm thick.  
6. Place on a non-stick baking sheet.

For the pizza topping just add tomato puree then the toppings of your choice.

For the Garlic Butter
50g butter
1 tbsp garlic puree
1 tbsp italian seasoning (herbs)

1. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined.
2. Poke dimples into the dough you are using for the garlic bread
3. Spread generously with your garlic butter - I like putting my gloves back on and giving the dough a good rub down with the garlic butter - I'm sure the dough quite likes it too :-)

When you have put the amount of toppings, and garlic butter, you want onto your doughs place them in the oven and bake for 15-20mins

Cut into portions....

Make sure you eat it straight from the oven and feel instantly better about the world.

The kids love the pizzas too!!!!!

ENJOY!!
