Title: Pleased to be here
Post by: Ionahenatlast on July 22, 2011, 08:46:22 pm: Hello, stumbled on here while googling, looks like a brilliant site full of knowledgeable people.
I live in Renfrewshire with my OH, 3 kids, dog, 2 kittens and as of last night 8 ex batts, i'm so excited having finally got some hens, they are in a bit of a sorry state just now but i'm sure with a bit of tlc they'll live a healthy happy life.
So thats me, :) pleased to meet you all.

Where did you get your exbatts from - was it the BHWT? I'm waiting for an email to collect some and thought the collection was this week but hadn't heard yet. Welcome to the forum, we're generally a friendly bunch so feel free to ask any questions. I love my exbatts!

Am I stoopid or what? ::) :-[ I thought you were from Iona with that username! I know Jim from previous intakes so I know he'll contact me as soon as the next batch is ready. Glad you came on too - I would have been wondering what had happened. Thank you.
