We love hearing from you, so here is your chance. Introduce yourself and tell us what makes you selfsufficient 'ish'. Go on don't be shy, we welcome one and all. You can also tell us how you heard about us if you like.

Looks like a really interesting and lively place this and I will be visiting often.
A little tip from someone with a dodgy laptop (it seems to hit the back button all by itself if it's grumpy with me). If you have a long post to make, draft it in Word (or whatever) first. When you are done you can copy and paste onto the forum. That way you can save it until you are happy with it and if the first posting fails, you can just paste it again.
