Oh yeah, happy [surely Kim can't be that yoldung]! I generally soak the paddle in the tin unless it comes out with the bread, tearing a big hole in it, which happens a lot. The machine was only £12 from a chazzer, so GVFM really. Though as MrsCudzo has pointed out, Joe's Bakery sells decent bread for 75p a loaf (yesterday's), which is probably less than I'm spending on flour, oil and elect tricks; but you do have to get there early and obviously none on Mondays.
