It’s good to feel good and make some bread!

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe, either by RSS reader or by email.

You may also like to check out an offer I've put together for you at my other website!

Our tagline at BeingaMillionaire.com is ‘Being a Millionaire, it’s more than having a Million.’

You’ll find it on our website, it’s written throughout our literature and if you’ve ever had an email from me, it’s how I sign off!’

So…my question is….if it’s more than having a Million, then what is ‘IT’?

Ok, I’ll start. ‘It’ for me is feeling good.

‘And what Andrea…’ I hear you say..’makes you feel good?’

This week, I have been feeling good about my new bread maker.

I have been banging on about having one of these for years, so last week I bought one…reduced…of course. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I never pay full price for anything. I also love telling people, whether they want to know or not, how much it cost!!

So…my breadmaker was reduced to £34.00 which to my mind was a bargain!

We unpacked it and placed it in it’s own little spot on the kitchen worktop and promptly and proudly produced our first loaf. Now if any of you out there are building anything at the moment, this loaf would have made an excellent brick! It was horrible and rock hard!!!

So there I was, straight on the internet finding bread recipes. After a week of trial and error I have found the perfect recipe that makes beautiful bread and you can find it here, http://www.carrsbreadmaker.info/recipes/wholemeal_flour.html.

If you’ve got any recipes that you think I’ll like, please post some here or email me on andrea@beingamillionaire.com.

Thanks

Andrea. ;-)

It's been a while…..

…..since I last wrote the Blog!

And so much has happened.

First off, the brand new website finally got off the ground just in time for the Spring Fair at the NEC.

We’ve received lots of feedback and we’ve taken it all on board, even if we’ve not been able to reply personally.

Some of you have asked about being able to upload your own photos onto the Dream Builder application.

This is something that we have thought about and hope to get into place at some point. However please tell us of any images that you would like to see and we’ll do our best to get them on the site.

We have a new category this month… ‘ Strength’. I have also added new images to ‘Animal World’ and ‘Trees’.

As expected, we’ve come across some bugs and gliches and I’m hoping that they are all ironed out now. Carry on sending the feedback as we love to hear from you all.

Next up… Spring Fair!

It was our first Spring Fair and for those of you that don’t know, it’s the largest gift and greeting card fair in Europe and we were so excited about getting the £1Million note out there.

But then…………………………. it snowed and snowed and snowed and then it snowed a bit more!! The biggest fair in Europe suddenly became the quietest.

We did, however, meet some lovely people and made some great contacts.

The £1Million notes have now found their way into some new retail outlets in places as far afield as New Hampshire in the US!

We’ve been so busy sending out samples, packing notes and cards and talking to buyers. It’s been great fun and a real learning curve for us.

New for this year is our ‘wad’ of £1Million notes. These can be purchased in quantities of 10 or 25.

Please remember that we will be donating 10% of all our revenue for this year to Macmillan Cancer Support.
