Title: Hello finally registered
Post by: Busy Bee on January 06, 2009, 13:12:29
Hi  I have been popping in and out since November so thought i would make it official. Had my allotment since November but have yet to make a start!!!!
Hoping to rectify that this week. Picked up lots of helpful advice over the last 8 weeks from all you lovely people so feel better prepared. Just wanted to say hello to you all.

Sharon

Welcome Busy Bee!! This site is amazing - full of knowledgeable people (myself excluded - I'm fairly new to my lottie!) who are unbelievably friendly and helpful.

Good luck with your new plot!

OK here comes my first question and nothing to do with allotments. How do you put the lovely little pictures up at the side with your names lol.
Thanks to you all for your warm welcome and having popped in and out for the last 8 weeks i can confirm you really are a mad bunch. I think i will fit in very well.

Hi Sharon and welcome!

To add an avatar, click the fifth button along near the top of the page 'profile'.  Then on the left of the next page you'll see Modify Profile - Forum Related Information (I think, anyway, it's the second one down).  Click on that and you get options for adding a picture.  If you get stuck, just shout!

Remember to take plenty of pictures, especially when you first start. It's hard for people to appritiate the hard work you put into clearing your plot.

Welcome to the site Sharon. I think we will all be glad for the weather to improve so that we  can get started again. Right time of year to take  plot on too. What sort of stuff are you planning to grow

 ;D ;D ;D Welcome Busy Bee ;) Hope you find a suitable pic for your avatar, you can use one from 'Your Pictures' on your pc. You need to minimise though through photobucket or similar, maybe you have the software on your pc already.

Anyhoo, glad you joined us now ;D ;D ;D

Hi Busy Bee, welcome to the group. The advice I would offer is to stick at it and not to worry if you feel down about the plot sometimes. I started about the same time of year and got a bit down at times at the amount of work but stick at it, you will get there in the end!!  ;D
