Its refreshing to know that you are not the only one, thankgoodness for gransnet!

Great day here in the middle of the USA. finally coll after a few day of 100 degrees. This is my first day on gransnet . It is fun to read the forums.

I will raise a of retsina to you all

MrsJamjam...how hard you have worked and how envious I am of your holiday ..have a wonderful time and try to think of us at sometime during your 2 week break xxxx

Only just logged on as have spent all day packing, leaving the house tidy, garden produce all harvested and frozen - off on hols tomorrow for two weeks of sunshine . Just want you all to know that I love GN too and will miss you all while I'm away. When we get back I'll get to grips with the new smartphone and do GN wherever I am, but right now its new and I'm terrified of the stories one hears of big bills while abroad so its use will be strictly limited!

Cases now packed, just the fridge to clear out and then time for a pre-hols

Cheers, Notsogrand!

Ariadne, how about sun...yardarm...already?

Might take mine to the shed.

I think we're quite good at the "healthy debate" bit, and I love the humour that inevitably creeps in. Couldn't manage without my daily dose! Now thinking sun...yardarm...soon.

No - of course we're not 'like-minded' as such jangly - I think I meant we're 'like-minded not to be like-minded - I'm sure you'll all know what I mean! In other words, we've all got our bit to add in and it's thankfully not always in agreement with everyone else! I like a bit of an argument about issues (not quarrels, they're not at all 'nice' -oops)!

Oh I see what you mean!!!



I will learn to read posts properly!

That wasn't erm!

It was nen.

Erm - that would be Mother's Pride I think nen.

I had a lovely holiday last week, but it's true - I did miss Gransnet. I recommended it to one of my oldest friends, who isn't a gran just yet, but would love the site I know. I hope she joins us.

Didn't they used to be a loaf called oven pride ? Or maybe getting mixed up ha

I wouldn't fall out with you biker.

mwah

ooo Oven Pride - going out to get some of that. Have just finished oven and whole kitchen!!!!! going to chat with you now instead of finding another job

of course jangly we don't all think alike.and thats why it is nice(well most of the time lol) to have other peoples opinions even if we don't agree with them.we are all entitiled to them..and we are adult enough to acept others opinions...and I think so longs as things don't turn nasty and personal then that is fine..we don't want any falling out on gransnet do we

susiecb have you tried "ovenpride* it is brilliant hardly any scrubbing..just put all your racks, tins etc in a bag pour in the luquid and leave overnight or longer if poss..the grease etc just wipes off(really) also you can pour some of the liquid on the bottom of the oven and leave ,, I some times put some kitchen towel on the bottom then pour the liquid on it so that it sort of stays but...we have it in our HOME BARGAIN store at £2-99 so even if it needs 2 its worth it for £6...you get gloves and big bag and bottle of fluid....be carefull though!!! as it is caustic! ohhhhhh I must get mine done, the bottle has been sat under my sink for weeks...its also great for the BBQ (not that we have had chance to use them this yr) I have bought the BBQ version but it wsnt as good as the Oven version....
ok best sign off now as trouble will be arriving soon and I wont get a look in on the computer!!

Yeah. But we can't all be totally like minded.

And its ok to be a bit judgey.

Would get boring if we don't be truthful. (there's some lovely grammar!)

Morning folks!
I just love Gransnet! At last, like biker says, there's a place to go where there are like-minded people with similar problems to your own and who readily discuss these with you. You've all brought me so much comfort and made me realise I've not been wrong to feel the way I do about issues that have arisen in mine and my family's lives. I do tend to have to be careful that I'm not on here ALL day though....!!!

Morning you lovely peeps
I love Gransnet soooooo much.
You know that no one will judge you and GN is the only place I have ever been able to express my true feelings about my Mother....therapy in itself.

All the things we have bottled up for years now have a safe outlet.

As the weeks go by we begin to identify the other ''netters'' who have lifestyles and feelings similar to our own, and the ones who make you laugh

I know just how much ''Bad Mothers'' helped my daughter and she has made friends for life...meeting up with many of them. One was even Godmother to her wee boy. These sites do play an important part in many lives.

As someone who doesn't get out much to meet friends..GN is invaluable ..........
Cheers with a second xxxx
