Fresholi | Melting Pot Café

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.

 :yipee: 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  ;D 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!  ;D

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.

 :hi: 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!   :hi:
Welcome & I hope you enjoy it here.


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

Hello Kim, enjoy yourself here!

Hi Kim (the Chicken Lady)!

Hi Kim (Chick.... or Chuck  ;)),

Lovely of you to join us.  Boy your life sounds very busy indeed what with the 18 8 year old (I have one of those too  :D) and the chucks, not to mention the hot flushes  :mwaha:

I'm so glad you have introduced yourself, its lovely to hear a little bit about new members.  The members here are fantastic and everyone has something to offer - they're grrrrrrrreat!!

I very much look forward to chatting with you around the boards  ;D 

P.S. Joy & Jojo oohh...  and our Zoe are indeed very 'bonkers' but that Corrie's no angel herself  ;)

Hi Kim...enjoy urself! its a great place to share, learn and have a giggle!
And yep, miself, JJ and Joy are all a little peculiar, as we like to play  :hap3: :joy: :hap2:

HI Kim and welcome, I am sure you will love it here!  (:hug:)

Hello Kim :hi:

the chickens sound lovely!  Hope you enjoy it here.

Hi Kim, welcome to the board. :)

Hi Kim, I'm quite new here, and I have never found a more friendly, and very very helpful group of people as I have here. You'll love it. Good luck.

Hi and welcome Kim, so exciting that you're getting certified(so to speak)! Hope it all goes well, I must say this particular forum is so addictive and also great fun.Its funny you are the Chicken Lady - I get called ' the Dog Lady' as I am a groomer, which is bad enough but several of my customers just call me 'Mrs Mutley'  :mwaha:
Cant wait to see how your new venture goes  :)

Thank you to everyone for such a nice welcome. I have been away for the weekend in my motor home (I am secretary & rally officer for the motorcaravanners' club) so have only just read all the messages.

Ey up chicken Lady!! Welcome to the forum. I also have chickens. I do love them but they have stopped laying eggs and I am somewhat moody with them. :). Perhaps I should try marmite as well then, I know they love Cheerios and always get my lil' ones dregs from breakfast. How many eggs do you get per day? I can assure you it's more than mine are prepared to give me!! 
I hope you love it on here like I do. I have learned so much. Good luck with the assessments hun. xx

I used to get 1 egg a day from each of my girls (I have 13 now), but since their moult in September my older ones, who are 2 yrs old now don't not always lay. I am getting about 8-10 eggs a day. My grand daughter sells them for pocket money.

Hello Chicken
Hrmmmm, first of all welcome to the nut house. Corrie lies dreadfully and don't ever believe a word she says.
I am an angel and I live on a farm. I would love to keep chickens and might pick your brains about keeping a couple.

I too have a grandaughter 3 going on 13. Just like her mother was  :mwaha:

(hi-jacking thread)

Good place for info is theKintaline (http://www.kintaline.co.uk/) site.

You could try to pick my brains if I have any.
Seriously if you need any advice re Chicken keeping I am only to willing to help.
Lets free the Chickens. My, as you can see from my picture, free themselves.

 :hap3: This is how I feel today. Might be the glorious weather we have had.
Sat outside and had lunch in just a jumper
Kim

Sorry for the Hi jacking.
Kim

Tehehe you naughty girl !

I can see I will have to be careful how I phrase things here.
Kim

See chicken what I mean about a nut house. Just a jumper eh? makes for interesting viewing by your neighbours.  :mwaha:

No- I was doing the hi-jacking by post ing the reference!
