No, this is not about bereavement, but perhaps a similar feeling of "Was it something I/we said?" I too have tried to pm a GNetter only to be told that is not a valid nickname, so susiecb and littlenellie why did you go?
Of course it is your prerogative and I don't mean to be nosey, but it is sad, especially when you suspect there might be trouble at home and can no longer send support. So if either of you is out there under a different name - I wish you well and still hope it wasn't something we said flowers

I too am in touch with Nellie and she hopes to join us for an Autumn lunch in East Anglia next month smile

Mr soop handed me phone with new text from Nellie. She thanks all those who have asked after her. She has asked for the email addresses of anyone who would like to keep in touch with her. I have two addresses at the mo. Will pass others on tomorrow. Must log off right now but will be back late Fri morning. grin

Soop, thanks so much for telling us about Nellie! Was really concerned about her - isn't it great that she's hopeful about a new job? Tell her again that we're all rooting for her and that she'll soon be back to have a blether with us? And yes, as Bags commented, jingl does go off for a while occasionally, and it's always lovely to see her return. smile

Jings often goes awol and then comes back when it suits her. Why worry?

Grannyeggs Thu 18-Oct-12 14:19:18

When and why did she go ? I thought she was still around last week.

jeni Thu 18-Oct-12 14:09:01

We've still lost jingle

Poor Nellie. Ongoing disagreements might be upsetting for some who don't pitch in but read the threads all the same. Glad she's OK.

Grannyeggs Thu 18-Oct-12 13:48:54

Glad she's ok soop,and wish her good luck for the new job.

glassortwo Thu 18-Oct-12 13:44:06

Thank heavens soop I can stop worrying now. smile

whenim64 Thu 18-Oct-12 13:13:26

Thank GOODNESS for that! Glad she is ok xx

Ana Thu 18-Oct-12 12:49:10

That is very good news! smile It's not the same here without nellie.

Notsogrand Thu 18-Oct-12 12:44:56

Good to hear that she's been back in touch soop, good wishes to Nel from me too. smile

jeni Thu 18-Oct-12 12:42:53

Oh good! Give her my love!

annodomini Thu 18-Oct-12 12:40:59

Please tell her that there are still lots of threads that are non-confrontational and that she's going to miss the Halloween party. Wish her luck for the job too.

soop Thu 18-Oct-12 12:37:51

YIPEEEEE! Just rec text from our Nel. New number. She's fine and looking forward to a possible new job. I told her that she's missed. She couldn't handle the ongoing disagreements on GN. Told her that to many of us, she's special. smile

soop Thu 18-Oct-12 11:50:27

Yes, I agree Bags. She knows where we are. If she needs us she only has to say...

Bags Thu 18-Oct-12 11:43:02

Sorry about that for your sake, soop, but it occurred to me that nellie may have good reasons for wanting to be private which have nothing to do with gransnet.

soop Thu 18-Oct-12 11:39:35

Our Nellie is not contactable. sad

soop Wed 17-Oct-12 11:28:57

I tried to call Nel's cell phone [only number that I have] and was told "number not recognised". I then left a text message [as on the previous night] but she didn't respond. Perhaps her phone is out of order. I shall try again later. Have stacks of supportive messages to pass on to her.

bikergran Tue 16-Oct-12 23:33:02

oh dear! I agree with glassortwo sad I have sat quietly and read through some threads).............. (although I never knew who or what actualy started it off)! maybe the best thing is to stop reading and leave a "certain thread" and try and move back to the happier GN that it once was. smile

merlotgran Tue 16-Oct-12 23:10:19

I heard from Nellie as well, MaggieP saying she wanted to meet up. I replied but then I didn't hear from her again. Hopefully she's just taking some time out and will come back.

NfkDumpling Tue 16-Oct-12 22:37:57

MaggieP smile

MaggieP Tue 16-Oct-12 22:35:03

I am sorry Nellie has left, I have only just read this thread and we were hoping to meet up again next month, so am not sure now if she will still want to but maybe Nellie is still reading these messages.
I too have a break every so often as I cannot feel the need to join in with some of the subjects discussed but something makes me return and check GN out once again! Keep smiling folks, its only a friendly gathering of people isn't it?smile

Marelli Tue 16-Oct-12 22:25:26

Give her our love, soop? Tell her that we send her flowers? xx
