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
jings is right [for a change] 
Did we Grans really look as naff as the younger lady? 
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. 
Love it whitewave - Maybe it's time for a change?
Yep! Addicted again. 
Are you off somewhere nice, glass? I'm picking up 2 copies tomorrow, because my other GN friend forgot to get her copy....
green Meeting up for lunch with another Gransnetter
Enjoy yourselves, glass - hope we'll be able to meet up again sometime, too!
green we will
I wake very early - about 5 a.m. usually, and I log on to Facebook (Might be a message from NZ), currency exchange rate (My pensions are due), e-mails (often get them from eldest grandson), my bank account, ex-pat forums to choose our daily joke, and finally Gransnet, where I look at every new post and often find several to which I want to reply. I will be listening to the news on Radio 4 at the same time, which often inspires me to start a topic.
As I live alone, in an isolated spot, in a foreign country, Gransnet provides me with some welcome interaction with a wide range of interesting people. Thank you, all of you! (Even the ones who disagree with me on most things - you keep me on my toes!))

Greatnan in contrast to you I live in the crowded S.E. of England with a husband and surrounded by family who visit often.
However, I too log on to Gransnet first thing with a cup of tea to see new posts. I log on quite frequently during the day too. Being on Gransnet is something I think of as just for me; it reminds me I am not just what my father used to call 'a family woman'.
Crikey! It's gone 10-o'clock and I'm still here!
Must be addicted! 
Hurray!!! It's Wimbledon and anything that hasn't been done will now wait for a fortnight. This is my favourite time of year. Strawberries and cream (weight watchers as a slight concession) in the fridge, and I will be glued to the TV from now on, with short trips out in the mornings to let my family know I'm still here 
I must be addicted! Opening match in progress on Centre Court...and I can't resist popping in to see what you lot have been up to. Surely, I need a lobotomy!
Friend asked me to clean her silver [she's away on hols] and asked Mr soop to service their guest house apartment. I've been polishing for nigh on two hours...and still there's more. Kept rubbing a silver teapot expecting a gene to appear. Did he heck! Mr soop has spent yonks ironing a double duvet cover and sheet and p/cases. Going back to make the bed after lunch. Then he's responsible for cleaning the cooker, bathroom, polishing and vacuuming. We don't mind because we're earning an honest crust. We're doing it for pocket money for our visit to darling wee man.
Pepper portrait will be finished by tomorrow. Post it to number on Wednesday. She's been so patient. 
Could I borrow Mr soop! I did wipe over the hob today and have a load of washing in the machine plus some already on the line - !
