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?

Goodness! How much does one copy of The Lady cost then? confused

jeni Fri 22-Jun-12 18:40:35

I can't get your article on line, soop sad. Do I have to pay to see it??

soop Fri 22-Jun-12 18:24:28

absent thanks for enlightening me smile
nellie...you are a LOVELY lady [and funny with it!] grin

I know that feeling. I pressed the button on the table in court in front of me, and in rushed the security men,rather than me being transported home.blush

You lot have seen the article in print! I'm having to wait until copy comes thro' post [maybe tomorrow]. So pleased you approve. It's difficult to get so much that matters into 900 words. Bags was kind enough to proof read it for me. Thanks, Bags flowers

jeni I do find I blink a lot when I emerge into the light. And I find it increasingly frustrating that I can't just press a button saying "home" and get there.

I subscribe on line, the same as I do for good food, olive, nationa geographic, telegraph and the bmj.
Otherwise I'd have to have an extra green bin!

Anagram Fri 22-Jun-12 17:49:38

You realise, green, that now everyone knows how mean we are! blush

glamma, my friend's son found jobs abroad by way of The Lady adverts. He never really came back properly...confused....think he's in Nepal again, now! smile

green I'll pick up a copy to-morrow aswell I do enjoy the magazine when I buy it,I remember buying it yrs ago and then it was full to bursting with exotic job vacancies for nannies and au pairs in all sorts of far flung places that sounded so glamourous when I was 16/17,how small the world seems now in comparison.Look forward to reading the article soop

I haven't tracked it down online either. I will try to pick up one made of paper from a shop. (It will do me good to re-enter the real world).

Hooray for soop flowers How exciting!

greenmossgiel Fri 22-Jun-12 17:18:19

I'll pick it up at the shops tomorrow, then. I have the one where soop wrote about 'below stairs', so the new one will be kept alongside it. smile

jeni Fri 22-Jun-12 17:17:45
