A late introduction....

Ohwhatatuesday, 18 August, 2013 at 10:36 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 26

Hi Otters, I've been posting on OT over the last month or so and realised I never did an intro/newbie/can I join thread (though I did kind of introduce myself on another part of a thread) and have since seen lots of introduction posts and realised I probably should have done one too!

So....here it is...I came to hitched earlier this year to help plan my wedding, I've since become a little bit obsessed and I found Off Topic when there wasn't enough posts on WP to feed my hitched habit!! Have loved joining in OT so far and reading some of the threads has made me really giggle in my lunchtimes at work (the one that led to Mini's awesome quote in her signature is one of my faves so far).

A little bit about me, I'm getting married next year, me and my OH have been together for 6 and a half years, I live in Essex but have also lived in various parts of London and Kent.

On to two topics that seem to come up a lot on hitched - cakes and pets - I don't have any pets anymore (had an awesome cat until I was 20) but would love a dog one day (OH is allergic to cats). I don't make cakes but I LOVE eating them and since seeing them on here I've become obsessed with wanting to try a Cronut!

So, hi and sorry for not introducing myself sooner, please can I carry on joining in on OT?! ?

    Hello and welcome! I forgot / didn't think to do an introduction thread, good on you for doing it.

    I am moving to Essex next month -currently living in London.

    Hello from a newbie!

    Was it ever established if cronuts can be bought in the UK? I think if anyone finds them they must report back to hitched ASAP! (Also my I phone wants to autocorrect cronuts to cronies - could lead to a whole different coversation)

    Mooshy - Cronuts are the greatest thing I've ever heard of - a mix between a donut and a croissant and I would love to try one. Apparently there's on baker in London that does them but that's it so far. I'd love one of the bakers/cake makers out there to try this recipe and let us know what they're like! Would be tempted to try it but I've never even made a cup cake!

    Erin - have you found somewhere or are you still looking? We really love living in Essex, there's lots of really lovely places around too.

    Hi!

    I've seen you over on WP but thought I'd say hello here too :-).

    I was a bit of a late intro person too. Better late than never I think.

    Hello! I didn't do one either ? I was a bit rude and completely forgot / didn't think one as I did one on WP lol!

    I'd also love to try a cronut, but I'm best kept away as if they're too yummy i'll devour the lot Smiley laugh

    Just thought it would be nice to do a proper introduction and share a little bit about me as I've been enjoying posting on OT, I would also eat all the cronuts I can get my hands on! I'm bad enough with doughnuts (esp krispy kremes)

    Hello! Ooh I like Colchester - especially shopping there - would like to live nearer that way but it's a bit far to travel to London!

    Flowmojo! It was your post on cronuts that led to my obsession with them!

    Flowers in her hair - not that far from your venue (remember seeing it on wp)

    Hattrick - after yesterday I'm craving krispy kremes too but determined to be good on my healthy eating this week!
