I've come over from the 'other place'.
Like others, I tried to log in to MN this morning and it won't let me (I don't think I've said anything I shouldn't have, or had any arguments that I know of 
)
I think it's because they are making everybody get new passwords (what with their 'problems' and all)
I can't get a password reset as I don't remember the email address I registered with, which is a fat lot of good. 
Anyway, I don't really feel 'safe' on there at the moment, so won't be trying too hard to get back on there for a while.
I remembered that I'd joined Gransnet a while ago, but hadn't used it much at the time, because I felt like a bit of a fake - what with not even having any grandchildren of my own- even though I'm the right age 
.
Are there many that post on here, who also aren't 'grans'?
I hope it's alright to be on here. It seems like a nice place. Not as intense as MN, but still with interesting subjects to discuss.
On the other hand, NetMums seems too twee for me.
Thanks.
I think snowberryz is very possibly wondering what on earth she's let herself in for 
So it isn't the rest of us, it's just you then soontobe (apart from downtoearth and she has an excuse because she's looking after a teenager GD!).
How do you know people come back at 10.30 and start posting again if you're in bed by then...? Oh, I forgot you're monitoring - probably got a notebook or a spreadsheet on GN members' habits!
I do mean Ironing! Cleaning cupboards! at 10 or 11pm. 
And no I dont do them then.
erm I go to bed around 9.30
....the dog starts whining,and looking up the stairs...I read my book and resident teenager plonks herself on the bed as well as dog,and decides its time to chat.....welcome snowberry I do have my own teeth although OH has to remove my glasses and tuck me in when I have fallen asleep,and rub in the Ibuleve on my dodgy back....
What on earth do you do then, soontobe, apart from monitoring the postings of GN members...?
What do we do? soon We have a life that's what.
Also, we (most of us) don't have to stay at home in the evenings because we have young children.
Welcome snowberry2 I'm sure you will enjoy it here.
Getting on with real life usually, to answer your question soontobe.
Welcome snowberryz, Mumsnet has many members who aren't mums (or dads for that matter). Hope you enjoy gransnet
soon there are an awful lot of things one can do apart from Gransnet at any time of day! I don't think I have ever been on in the evening but it doesn't mean I am in bed! I'm a bit worried that you think we all only have Gn in our lives.
If a whole load of you dont get ready for bed past 9.30pm, what do you do between 9.30pm and 10.30pm?
Because generally there are only about 4 of us left posting in that hour?
[only kidding. You dont have to answer].
Hello snowberryZ, you're very welcome here. No, not everyone here is a gran - and those of us who are do not all take our weary old bones off to bed in the middle of the evening in our flannelette nighties, with our teeth in a glass on the bedside cabinet .
I hope you enjoy GN - I'm sure you'll find it just as addictive as 'the other side'
Welcome Snowberry,nice to have new people on here, as quite a few of the older members don't post anymore.
I don't think there are many threads about Grandchildren on here anyway.
