Originally from Basingstoke, she has been cooking up festive gifts for her family for the past six years, starting when she was a skint student.<br \/>\nHer mustard recipe was put together from a few recipes online, but Miss Nicholetts overestimated how much mustard she would need and ended up with so much left over, she decided to give it away. She has put up two signs in her front window advertising the free mustard and anyone interested just has to knock on her door.<br \/>\nThis mustard-diplomacy has helped her meet her neighbour and although Miss Nicholetts came up with her good-spirited plan to get rid of the 15 one ounce jars on December 23, there are still plenty left.<br \/>\nShe said: \u201cSo I thought, \u2018you know what, I\u2019m just going to put up a sign and people can knock\u2019. \u201cIt took a while for people to come round, maybe like two days or so. The guy that lives a couple of doors down came round with his kids for some, they were having a roast dinner.<br \/>\n\u201cEvery single person who has come round has been different to the last. We\u2019ve had a couple of old ladies come round, and the postman wanted some the other day. Every different kind of person you could imagine, all of them local.<br \/>\n\u201cThey\u2019ve all probably seen it for a couple of days and worked up the courage to knock on the door. Everyone that comes looks a little bit sheepish and I have to say \u2018I know, you want some free mustard, it\u2019s fine\u2019.<br \/>\n\u201cBecause of my line of work, I usually do 12-14 hour days, six days a week. Socially you don\u2019t end up meeting many people outside of the TV and film industry, so that was part of the reason for the sign. I thought \u2018I might actually meet some new people doing this as well.\u2019&#8221;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 1.5\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/rc_mustard3_web.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-3737 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/rc_mustard3_web-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"rc_mustard3_web\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-3737 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/rc_mustard3_web-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"rc_mustard3_web\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Miss Nicholetts handcrafted condiment comes in two flavours &#8211; garlic, honey and horseradish, and lemon, black pepper and white wine \u2013 and it keeps for about two months.
