As time is galloping on could you please add your name to the thread if you are coming to gally's on the 3rd of October. Then we can talk about the catering once we have established who is coming. smile

I have just read through all the thread ,!! and what a brill !! time you all seem to have had..."not a virtual party" but a "Real one"!! and you all look like you enjoyed smile via the photo....a big bunch of happy Gransnetters,,who would have thought that when you registered for "Gransnet" you would all be meeting up months later...(ermm I notice theres no "Grandads" hiding behind any of you! (maybe they wern't allowed to play out"! grin

harrigran Thu 04-Oct-12 22:23:27

No Grandads in front of the camera but there was one behind the camera, the lovely Mr soop

Lovely photo. Thank you Mr.Soop, and to Bags for getting it on here.
Hi Marsko, nice to see you`ve joined us at last.

Hello marsco ( though I did like ''), I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to have a proper chat, perhaps next time. So many people, so little time.

baubles Fri 05-Oct-12 06:46:35

Grrr, did like 'Lurkio' !!! See, that's exactly why we need an edit button.

grannyactivist Fri 05-Oct-12 08:44:02

Oh dear Grannylin - wish we'd hung around long enough to see you were in trouble. Glad there was a bit of a silver lining though. (My son has picked lots of blackberries too and I was down on the allotment yesterday picking autumn raspberries - lovely, but now I have to squeeze in some time to make jam!!)

soop Fri 05-Oct-12 10:26:46

I asked Josie GN for assistance with the Oopy group photo. Have forwarded a copy to her and she'll investigate. Hope to add it to my album before too long. I'm just a tad miffed. Back soon.

soop Fri 05-Oct-12 11:05:13

harrigran gave me her email address and I was able to send the group photo as an attachment. Any other GN's who do likewise will receive the image ASAP. grin

Mr soop enjoyed seeing [and hearing] us all together. There was such a strong sense of camaraderie between us. smile flowers

soop Fri 05-Oct-12 13:19:43

Have attempted to add a couple of Wee Man images to my gallery. No joy! Anyone wanting a copy of the group photo, please pm me and give me your email address. So far, three GN's have received the image as an attachment. smile

soop Fri 05-Oct-12 13:47:21

Daft thing is, I was able to post the image on Facebook in the blink of an eye.

soop Fri 05-Oct-12 17:02:21

In the time that I've been trying to upload the Edinburgh group photo, I could have dead-headed the flowers, ironed a weeks laundry and dusted away a gathering of cobwebs. SOS what's going on? I've successfully sent attachments to several GN's and uploaded the image on my Facebook page.
Granny23 If you pm me your email address I can forward the images to you.
Have passed your comments on to Mr soop. He blush and an impish smile crept across his hairy face. wink

baubles Fri 05-Oct-12 17:51:00

Granny23 what HAVE you been saying to make Mr Soop blush?

soop Fri 05-Oct-12 18:08:46

baubles Mr soop has read the pleasing comments from you lot. smile

soop Fri 05-Oct-12 18:17:22

Have attempted yet again to add Edinburgh images to my album. The Oops message refuses to budge. Until tomorrow, when I shall try again, I wish all a very pleasant evening. moon

baubles Fri 05-Oct-12 18:24:15

marsco Fri 05-Oct-12 18:53:17

Hi Butternut , Hi baubles, hopefully we will all get together again soon, hi to everyone else i met on wednesday and all the other gransnetters

absentgrana Fri 05-Oct-12 18:57:06

Hi marsco. Sorry that I didn't get up to Gally's – in fact, really fed up that I didn't – to meet the Scottish grannies that I met in Glasgow and other grannies I haven't yet met. Hope to hear more from you. smile

Bags Fri 05-Oct-12 18:58:07

Hi, marsco. It was lovely to meet you too smile, and it's nice to 'hear' you on the forums as well.

baubles Fri 05-Oct-12 19:00:28

absent it's a pity you couldn't make it, I'm sure there will be a 'next time' smile

absentgrana Fri 05-Oct-12 19:01:47

Where are the real pictures? Not the one of you all standing about looking well behaved, although Mr Soop did do a lovely job. envy envy I want to see the ones where you let your back hair down. Don't give me excuses about tech problems – I am not convinced. What are you keeping secret, you bad, bad ladies? grin

harrigran Fri 05-Oct-12 23:38:18

Hi marsco nice to see you on tonight.
I have pictures absent but can't get them to upload either, there is a real tech problem. I wanted to put the picture of the enormous carrot cake on too but no joy.

Granny23 Sat 06-Oct-12 00:36:41

Many thanks soop got my copy of the picture. Having saved it into 'my pictures', I then tried to load it back onto my profile and also got the OOPS! message. I think we have been CENSORED

Lovely to have you on board Marsco. smile

Absent - In order to ensure you are marked present at the next Gran Gathering, I think you should set the ball rolling by coming up with some dates when you are certain to be free!

soop Sat 06-Oct-12 11:27:37

Logged on. First message was from dear Geraldine HQ...she likes the photo...she cannot yet tell us why we cannot upload...but she's doing her best to sort the problem on our behalf flowers

In the meantime, anyone wanting me to forward a copy to them, please PM me with your email address. I'm at your service smile

Marsco A warm welcome from me. You'll not regret joining this mad marvellous forum. wink Send me your email address and I can forward pics to you.

I need a word with grannyact please. She mentioned a procedure relating to a will and I've already forgotten the details. blush

soop Sat 06-Oct-12 12:21:49

Grannylin I've a very good photo of you. PM your email address, please. It was very good to meet you at long last. smile
