Post: # 77598Post Smallholder1 »

You see officer, it was like this..............

I was looking around for a site, well, a site pretty much like this one, and I find you. But when I type in the address with every intention of registering I starts thinking to meself, "This all looks very familiar...". So, just in case, I try logging in and waddaya know? I'm already registered!

So, officer, I click on "new posts since last visit" and there's 3541! :shock: So I check the memberlist to see when I joined, and it seems I've been a member since 25th November 2006 and I haven't even introduced meself! :oops:

My humblest apologies, officer, I shall try not to be so remiss again.

Anyhoo, I'm Mandy, and I'm currently owned by two hormonally-challenged-with-delusions-of-grandeur sons, four cats, two mice who think they're cats and a psychotic ferret. I've just started a degree in herbal medicine and I grow as much stuff as various window sills and a concrete yard will allow!

I make many of my own household cleaners, candles, smellies and the like, but I'm rapidly running out of hours in a day, so any hints on time management and bulk production without huge expense or the co-operation of like-minded people (I don't have much access to either!) would be greatly appreciated!

Well, that's me; I'm going to check out the postsings since my last visit now, and I may be some time...................

You'll notice him sooner or later, he's the one who uses the most emoticons and always talks about chocolate teapots!
