Say hello if you're online

[brynteg11]

the number of views compared to posts shows that lots of people pop in to look ( I know I do!), so here's your chance to say hello if you're lurking/browsing.

hi Gina, morning all

[ooh*la*la*la]

Hello!  I came on here in the hope that someone would be able to give me the recipe for Merlin's gloop washing liquid, I would love to get back into making it, and got the necessary supplies today, only to find I don't have the recipe any more!  I have not been on here for years ! 🙂

That's quite all right

It wont foam like commercial products, so dont worry, but do shake it before each use

I hope you like it

I used to be on the forum years ago and made this up then, but have not done it for years and lost the recipe. I was shopping yesterday and saw borax substitute, so I thought I would have another go at it. The forums were good fun in those days ☺️
