Addicted again!

(138 Posts)

I was addicted to Gransnet before I went to Spain for a week last month. When I came home the addiction had gone and I only came on for a look a couple of times a day. Then I started doing the odd post and now it's back to logging on every half hour when I'm in the house.

All my family know about Gransnet. For a start I'm always rushing off with the latest good joke. A friend sends me texts saying 'get off Gransnet now' (he's joking).

Is anybody else addicted and does it matter?

Are you off somewhere nice, glass? I'm picking up 2 copies tomorrow, because my other GN friend forgot to get her copy....winkgrin

soop - thank you - we have had some wonderful comments from people who didn't know about GN before - but are looking forward to being a part of it now. Lovely!

Love it whitewave grin - Maybe it's time for a change?

soop Sun 24-Jun-12 17:30:34

Aren't you lot lovely...and thanks to those who actually coughed up the dosh and purchased the Lady. Also thanks to those who went to the trouble of reading the article [before returning well-thumbed mag to rack.] It's the thought that counts grin
jings is right [for a change] wink Did we Grans really look as naff as the younger lady? blush I reckon I've still got a pair of those wicked sunglasses...and I did wear my hair in some very strange ne'er a hair out of place styles. hmm

OH mrs hat I read your name as Mr shat!!!

mrshat Sun 24-Jun-12 16:38:27

Lovely article soop, well done. I bought my copy in WHS having browsed the shelves for ages (amazing what is on offer these days) I then had to ask the sales lady if they stocked it (silly question really, in Harpenden) and there it was on another set of shelves! I only frequent Harpenden occasionally so am not au fait with the shop layout! grin

Anagram Sun 24-Jun-12 15:01:16

Well, I went out and bought my copy today! I did think about furtively reading the article and putting the mag back, but thought No! I've never read The Lady and it's about time I did.

Lovely, warm article, soop - if I wasn't a member of GN already I'd want to be one after reading that. smile flowers

Annobel Sun 24-Jun-12 12:23:17

Moi aussi!

jeni Sun 24-Jun-12 12:01:34

Hey! I paid for mine!

j04 Sun 24-Jun-12 11:47:35

Oh ok soop (re the picture). So I can say how odd the younger lady looked! Did we ever really look like that?! grin

glammanana Sun 24-Jun-12 11:47:17

Soop great article so proud of you flowers

soop Sun 24-Jun-12 11:24:20

Thanks for appreciative comments Geraldine. And big grin to you lot for standing around supermarkets reading the article. All those fingered copies of the Lady sitting messily on the shelves! hmm From time to time I'm asked to write something for the Lady. This time, I sent the copy and hoped for the best. Entire article was not printed. The editor has to make final decision based on how much space he can spare. The people in the retro pic are complete strangers to me. I submitted pic of Bags and me slurping wine but it was too late to be included sad. Under the Editor's letter, the pic is of my Nana and my son [when he was angelic!] smile

That`s why I`m annoyed with myself, I was in Smith`s getting my paper and lottery tickets. Maybe I forgot because I`m not a lady?
