Hello I am new to the forum. Have submitted a recipe and a query but have not introduced myself properly.
Hope I am in the right place.
I have been married for 28 years and have 2 grown up children a grand daughter who is 8 going on 18 She has lived with me since she was 6 mths old as my daughter had a car accident & was unable to care for her.
I have been a child minder for 26 years and have been making creams, soap etc for family for quite some while, but have now decided it is time for a change of life as I am going through the change of life (hot flushes the lot) so am going to have a bash at selling them to all those people that have pestered me for freebies.
I keep 13 chickens(& am known locally as The chicken lady) and they are the love of my life after my family. . My neighbors laugh at me when I go up with their tea (marmite on toast, but it gives them the extra Vitamin B).
So you can see what sort of person I am.
I love to make bread and love to do gardening, but the chickens have dug up most of my plants now.
I am just in the process of contacting David with regard to assessments. He is so helpful.
Must go now and do some tea for the kids & chickens.
Luv to read about all your antics, glad I am not alone out here.

Hi! I am also very new to this board ( although not to soapmaking etc ), but I already feel very much at home here. They are a very welcoming bunch of people. I am sure you will love it here just as much as me.

  I already do luv it and have spent far to much time reading everything on the forum

Hi me too Im new here and its great. Hope you do well selling your stuff  And look forward to reading your recipe.


I bought a breadmaker few months ago and now no one will eat supermarket bread....good job all I have to do is push a button! 

Hi Chicken Lady, I can't call you that  whats your real name??
With all the new people coming on the site I feel like an oldie even though I've only been here since Christmas I think.

Hi I don't mind being called Chicken Lady but my real name is Kim.

  Chicken Lady, think you'll get Kim more often, easier to type.
Your chucks must be really spoilt. Hope they reward you well with eggs!
There are a few people here at the same stage as yourself, preparing for certs, myself included. Its always good to hear others opinions and advice.
Hope you have a lot of fun along the way.
(watch out for Joy and JoJo, they are ever so slightly BONKERS)

Hi Chicken!   
Welcome & I hope you enjoy it here.


There are also quite alot of fibbers on here too.  :mwaha:  Takes one to know one Corrie.
