Hello

Welcome aboard, Daisymay70...I really do hope that being a Gransnetter brightens your day. I am a newcomer and have met some delightful ladies, to whom I say a very sincere thank you.

I certainly will Daisymay70. I am doing my hanging baskets and window boxes with Buzy Lizzies, geraniums and Verbena tomorrow, weather permitting. Perhaps we should set up our own chat room on here? Who is up for it?

Yes nanapippa I would love to know too so will keep looking if you find it first let me know keep coming back having a look in here sad isnt it thats me too much time on my hands though ive ben planting my raised bed this afternoon with busy lizzies. getting some fresh air

a chstroom would be lovely.

Hello everyone, does anyone know if there is a place to "just chat" to people on here rather than following a forum.I suspect daisymay70 would enjoy such an opportunity. I have "met" and made a couple of really good friends on Saga zone and it would be nice to have the opportunity to do the same on here with like minded people. The facility may be there but I haven't found it yet so if anyone knows better I would love to know

Bonjour Ladies, I have just joined too after reading the DM online! All my grandchildren are in England whilst I now live in France. I miss them so so much, so enjoy every moment you have with your grandchildren, the good and the not so good. I also would like to see a "Newcomers" section just to get use to the site and introduce oneself. Bye for now

Hi everyone
Me veteran of 3 days, so glad I found this site. I have 2 fab gs one 5 & 4 months and our little one 1 end of this month. I will be 50 in nov this year, but as my parents live a 5 five hour drive from me I am going to celebrate in september just in case we get the awful weather we had this past winter and I would be broken-hearted not to have them attend.
I am divorced, but have a wonderful partner nearly 4 years who my 2 little gs idolise, its so important that they did bond with him as they are my world and I couldn't be with someone who they could'nt take too.
We all have one thing in common it defies age, disability etc our love for our grandchildren and our prde at been grandparents.
So onwards and upwards and lets have some fun.

Whoops that smile turned out wrong

I miss the old days too Daisymay, I was a stay at home mum and the neighbours were great. There wasn't the childcare when I had my children so gave up my career. Hope you enjoy your online chatting.

(smile)

What nice comments from you all oh i do miss chastting over the garden fence Harrigran my neighbours are at work but when I do see them its just a smile and as I dont get out much my computer is a blessing to me.When my children were small had lovely neighbours so lots of chats over the garden fence dont think many people do that now not like they did where I lived in the 1960s happy days they were.
Hope to get to know you all.

Hi everyone, I am looking forward to some over the fence chats with you all.

I think gransnet is the modern equivalent of the garden fence, like chatting to your neighbours.

good morning ladies ..i have just joined after seeing the Daily Mail too!
i think i am going to like it here...so much information..
you do find ..that once you are on the computer... that time really does 'fly'...
