    Hi taplady.:hello:

    Welcome to os. I'm a bit of an old style novice myself but I love browsing this board for inspiration.

    Hope you find some good advice. Make yourself a nice cuppa and be prepared to spend a few hours on here!:coffee:

    And welcome from me, too. I occasionally exchange the cuppa for a beer due to time difference but other than that- wot the others said ;) Oh, and I hope you have a garden for all those veggies you'll end up growing.... :)

The slow cookers coming out of mothballs ! we do have a very large garden but its mainly grass.the only things I've ever grown are runner beans but i've always fancied growing new potatoes but havent a clue how to go about it so any tips on growing your own would be most welcome! :j

    Hi Taplady - Everyone is correct about life changing attitudes, it's just up to you whether you have big changes or smaller ones but when you look back over, say, 4 months membership as I have just done you realise that lots have changed and all for the better.

    When you've had a chance to get your breath back around you might want to look at the 'getting to know you thread' so you know who's who, it'll be nice if you want to add a few words too.

    The whole site is addcitive!

    Around here it is so easy to start with a couple of receipes here and there...but before long you end up being the proud owner of a breadmaker and do all your cleaning with white vinegar.
