Hello everyone. I have been lurking for a while and decided it is time to introduce myself  Smiley

I have been making CP soap (12 years), lotions & creams and other bath products. I have a little shop which I love to bits. Many years ago I was a computer programmer, but wouldn't change what I do now for anything. I make mostly EO products but do veer off into FOs a bit.

I have been reading a lot and am really enjoying the forum.

Thank you!

EJ, I have 3 people that help me in the shop. One is a student that helps over weekends and the other two help with the manufacturing. We rotate, but I try and spend at least 2 days a week there and visit once a day. I don't think I could do it if I had to run it full-time. Even now it is a bit of a squeeze at times.

I did markets for many years and that is seriously hard work compared to having a shop  Cheesy

Hi Sunshine Smiley you'll really like it here, we're all a bit barmy (though some are in denial I'm sure) and like a little family.
