Post by: Lulu on June 06, 2010, 06:59:32 PM Hi RP
We will be gentle - promise ;D ::owl:: Title: Re: I'm new here! Post by: retropants on June 09, 2010, 10:59:31 AM I didn't introduce my self very well did I?
I live near Heathrow (lucky me eh?) and I started making cosmetics over 2 years ago. I saw someone making her own body scrub on TV using olive oil & salt, and I thought, I can do that, what else can I make?? So it all snowballed from there really. I am naughty and look up stuff on the web during quiet moments at work. I don't think they'd mind though! I got married in February and spent a month in NZ on honeymoon, it was awesome. I work in the office at a costume special FX company, and we make all the armour you see in films (except Lord of the rings). I get to sew & paint at work sometimes too, which I really enjoy. you really are a great bunch of people, I think I'm going to like it here. A lot. (sorry work) here's a wedding pic for you, I know Eire wants more, I'll try and sort it out soon, and put them in the gallery. (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4002/4498054768_689a98eb1a_o.jpg) oh, OK then, here's one more! (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2762/4497419519_208b0b96ca_o.jpg) Title: Re: I'm new here! Post by: nakedtruthbeauty on June 09, 2010, 11:16:43 AM What lovely pics RP! We had a month in NZ just over 3 years ago. Clear on this forum lives on the North of the South Island. We absolutely loved it and dream of going back. Where did you get to?
Title: Re: I'm new here! Post by: retropants on June 09, 2010, 12:17:43 PM We stayed with friends in Christchurch and went on trips from there. We did an overnight cruise at Doubtful sound. I cannot tell you how great that was!
Title: Re: I'm new here! Post by: Barbarella on June 09, 2010, 04:04:36 PM ooh you looked pretty!
Hello :D Title: Re: I'm new here! Post by: Honey on June 09, 2010, 06:09:41 PM Love the pics!!! You look lovely. Your job sounds fab, far more interesting than mine (yawn and stress).
Title: Re: I'm new here! Post by: samantha on June 09, 2010, 09:33:19 PM Hello and welcome (:hug:) Lovely pics :buttrf:
Title: Re: I'm new here! Post by: artisan soaps on June 09, 2010, 10:55:57 PM Hi Retro (I recognise your name too) - Welcome to Fresholi !
(:hug:) Beautiful photos ;D I live in Golden Bay (NZ) but my daughter is in Christchurch studying this year, and we often stay with other friends and relatives down there .. Did you make it up to Kaikoura by chance? That's one of my regular haunts too (great surf/camping) .. What kind of B&B treats do you make? Title: Re: I'm new here! Post by: Nicola J on June 10, 2010, 11:24:00 AM Hello! :hi:
Title: Re: I'm new here! Post by: retropants on June 10, 2010, 11:25:16 AM we did go to Kaikoura, on our last couple of days. It is very beautiful Unfortunately, we went whale watching, and dh spent 3 hours vomiting into a bag (as did most of the passengers) it was really rough. I just about managed to keep my coffee down, but felt truly awful! We did see an awesome sunrise though, and a couple of whale tails!
Title: Re: I'm new here! Post by: smith on June 10, 2010, 01:53:43 PM I spent 6 months in NZ a while ago and dodnt want to come home! Still dream of living out there :D
