Hi all, I am Yvonne ( von ) from north lincolnshire, i have just started making soaps, i bought a kit and seem to have got hooked lol and looking forward to making lots of things like lip balms, body butter etc, am still finding my way about and so much to read, what a lovely site Helen 

welcome aboard... you ring a bell... do you do poultry? DDT???

no not me emma maybe there are more of me 

Hi Yvonne! It's nice to meet you. I agree it is a very lovely site. 

Hi Yvonne, welcome to the site. looking forward to 'chatting' with you!! 

Hello Yvonne,

It is a great site, thanks to Helen's enthusiasm, with lots of information and ideas in the resources.

Hello Von!

Well thank you, thank you all for your very kind words 

I'm sorry I've not been around until now, I've been at a BBQ (yep, she actually went out  ).

Thank you for joining the forum, we have a group of wonderful, friendly people (who, by the way are much better on the topic of soaps than I - I'm your lotiony, potiony person  ).  I hope you find the resources here useful.  Many have been kindly submitted by members (Community) and the resource bank has grown rather more quickly than I expected, so I will need to reorganise to make it easier to navigate.

Anyway, a warm welcome from me! 

You went out!!!!

I'm a Tractor Widow this weekend, Jones has taken the Nuffield, towing with MY Jeep to a vintage rally for the weekend (sleeping in the Jeep).

I might book a space in the Craft Tent next year, depending what they are charging now (30 years ago they used to ask me to take corn dollies and give me a meal voucher) not sure about sleeping in the Jeep though.

Yes!  I Went Out!!!!

I know, difficult to believe but I went out & neglected everything (well actually, kestrel and the chicklings tagged along)... 

LOL, so Jones towed the Jeep in the same way most would tow a caravan...  Don't blame you for doubting sleeping in it yourself, but don't you find that most men really are not fussed where they sleep?

He'll drop asleep anywhere during the day, night-time is another matter so I don't know how he manages in the Jeep (mind you a night in the ale tent might help).

lol, and then some!

Hi

My name is Janie I was told about this site from Elaine J so thought I would give it a try.

What do I do, well occasionally make soaps and a few toiletries but not certified.  I am also a trader on ebay and sell soap moulds, packaging and stuffies.

I noticed that you have stock here for sale, what I am after is a good stockist that sells powdered goats milk if anyone can tell me where I can purchase from with reasonable P &P I would be greatful.

I am having problems uploading some photos on the gallery although I have made a folder I cant seem to grasp the uploading bit it keeps saying the page doesnt exist.......... very strange! lol

Anyway enough from me as I know a few of you already know who I am.

Take care

Janie

Hi Jane. It's nice to have you here. I'm sure Helen will be able to help you out with those photos.

I feel foolish asking, but what are "stuffies?"

Hi Janie!

I've just copied these last two posts and started a new thread for you.  I hope this is ok? 

Hi Teresa

Stuffies is a North East Scotland word for things, stuff, nothing fantastic...... sorry!

Janie
