I have just started to use this site and I must admit that I am really enjoying it. I have received a lot of good friendly advice.

Welcome from me, too. Join in and have a chat, won't you, if you're lurking and wondering whether to post something? Since joining Gransnet last May, I have had some fabulous laughs on here, and joined in with some insightful and thoughtful discussions. Fabulous! smile

I have recently started reading this site and trying to get a 'feel' of the place - have enjoyed a lot of the posts and just contributed to a couple. I look forward to getting know everyone more. smile

Hello, I have been 'lurking' a bit, and made one or two tentative postings! I really enjoy your conversations and I'm impressed by your wisdom and wit. Looking forward to getting to know you better.

Welcome hummingbird, nice to have you joining in smile

NemoNan Wed 07-Mar-12 23:05:23

Hi, I'd been lurking for a few weeks, thinking how friendly you all sounded, and kind to each other, even when disagreeing smile. So I signed up and was looking forward to typing my first post when something happened in RL that has left me in a bit of a mess emotionally, but hopefully I will be able to join in the fun soon.

Welcome, hummingbird - glad you've come out of hiding! I hope you have fun joining in our discussions. NemoNan, so sorry to hear you've had a crisis. We are quite good with crises on here and if you want to confide, you will be sure of a kindly and well informed hearing. flowers

Hello 'Newbies' and so glad you've joined us. We look forward to getting to know you.
NemoNan, hope the ripples from your RL event will soon fade and leave you able to join in with our various chats. In the meantime it sounds as though you might need a bit of a lift; so (((hugs))) and sunshine to you.

I joined a couple of days ago and I'm trying to find my way around. I have responded to a few threads. There seems to be so much here i don't know where to start. I belong to Knitting Paradise and it's easy to navigate, or maybe I've just got used to it.

Butternut Thu 08-Mar-12 12:57:59

Carol Thu 08-Mar-12 12:59:04

supernana Thu 08-Mar-12 13:16:55

Welcome to all newcomers to this marvellous forum. One word of warning...*addictive*...apart from which, it's something very special and therefore true, that one can't get enough of a good thing. grin
Partytime...yay! I shall wear a very tight mini skirt over black tights and I shall add a figure-huggin' T-shirt with something cute written on it in sequins. On the other hand...I may tone it down a bit by not wearing cartwheel size hoop earings...wink

glassortwo Thu 08-Mar-12 13:19:16

Sounds very fetching super I have got my wardrobe all over the floor trying to make a decision.
