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?

It's weekly, number! I'll get mine from WH Smith. wink

Is the picture of the gran anyone in particular? Or is it just a 'library' pic? confused

Stupid me, went into town for the first time in a month.............and FORGOT to buy a copy of The Lady! Is it a monthly or weekly magazine? If it`s monthly I should be able to get it next week, hopefully.

They don't sell it in France.

They don't sell it in Asda or Tesco...sad
No upper-class supermarkets round here! grin

It's a lovely piece, soop.

Finally made it out of GNHQ (would like to be able to say into the sunlight, but there you go) and bought a copy. It was so exciting to see the article.

And the picture of Nana is charming!

flowers and wine and cupcake from all of us at GNHQ.

I bought it there!

soop Sat 23-Jun-12 17:59:54

Thanks jingle...that's where most of my family have been to read it. grin

I read it in Waitrose. Very nice. Don't know how my hand managed to slip and pick up an OK mag by mistake. hmm

greenmossgiel Sat 23-Jun-12 13:51:54

soop - it will be wonderful, just the same. We'll be able to read between those lines that were cut, so don't be bothered about it. We know how you write, and what you'll have written, even without seeing it all! smile

soop Sat 23-Jun-12 13:48:20

green Bless you. If I could, I'd be happy to lend my copy to you. smile
I've discovered that the article has been cropped. Editor makes final decision. Sorry therefore, that not all matters relating to Grans saddened by lack of interaction with their own offspring or grandchildren, lost some impact. I did try my best...

greenmossgiel Sat 23-Jun-12 13:38:28

I now have to wait until Monday before I can pick up my copy - our wee village newsagent only tends to stock the 'tabloid-type' magazines, so I'll need to nip down to the town centre to get my Lady (Mi'lady!) grin

I'm having a wee weep. Was busy reading the GN article and had skipped the editor's letter. Went to it, saw my Nana's photo and read a very sweet and fitting tribute to her sense of style. Made my day. smile

soop Sat 23-Jun-12 11:18:12

You lot tickle me pink! My copy has been delivered. If only I'd sent a pic taken with Bags...we were slurping wine in celebration of Gransnet...so appropriate, methinks. grin

jeni got the app - thanks for the hint.

soop lovely article; you do us justice. And I love the idea of being a "Webgran"!

jeni Fri 22-Jun-12 22:06:43

Look forward to seeing you again! Have a possible nibble for 4places on the galilee trip!

jeni laughed about you pressing wrong button.Happened to me when working in prison ! Switched off light to go for my coffee break. Security men rushed in-light switch was security alarm.
Back to addiction.I'm addicted to playing bridge online but GN runs it very close.
Watching Simon Schama's Shakespeare at the same time as catching up on this site.

jeni Fri 22-Jun-12 20:03:19

Yep!

j04 Fri 22-Jun-12 19:33:47

That must be on the i-pad that jeni gets it.

Anagram Fri 22-Jun-12 19:02:01

Oh, that's not bad then. Soop's children must have modest requirements.

j04 Fri 22-Jun-12 18:57:28

I think I might have the £4 worth, for 4 issues. It looks like there is quite a lot in it. It would be delivered weekly by post.

I think you can probably see just gone past issues online but not the current one, which would have soop's article in it. It's not like a firewall - like the Times.

Or am I wrong there?
