Being gentle to ourselves!

As long as they're not 'country' ones, Movedalot!

stans I think I've forgotten what a dinner party was . I do love having friends round for supper though

Mercedes will be coming out with some interesting English in her exam Galen if she copies that.

Galen #upyourjacksycheekymare

Do NOT report me for that.

I just like it Stansgran.

It's training up GH to be kind to me that's the hard bit of retirement. I never ever not ever want to host a dinner party again ever in my life as long as I li ve.

Mercedes I've been being kind to me ever since we retired, its one of the great things about being retired.

Galen!

I felt you posted to keep things moving jO8 and there fore had an interest in the whole set up

Grandmother?

Stansgran

I am NOT the mother of Justine Roberts. Or Carrie Longton.

I think it's great having more international posters. Mercedes tell us about your grandmother

I think jO is the founder of Mumsnet s mother.dont know why just do.

Mercedes Now that I'm retired I love to let things go. I don't force myself to do things unless I really really have to. I do things I enjoy, and care little if they are not appropriate to my age, such as going to a Doctor Who convention, spending hours in the garden playing daft games with my Golden Retriever, or doing a bit of guerrilla gardening in the waste ground behind the railway station.

I see you are Chinese - my daughter-in-law is a Chinese (Cantonese) Australian. I love her - she regards herself as my daughter. She is a very clever girl, a scientist, and she and my son make a point of enjoying life as much as possible.

I'm not going blue again because I don't like the thought of my posts being tracked. Paranoid, moi?

Agree jingle I didn't put TV, films or books on my profile, why would anyone care what I watched.

It (profile) doesn't say a lot, but who is really interested in what I watch on the telly?!

What's a bit harsh? * Mercedes* asked me to do a profile and I have.

I've only just noticed that jingle's gone blue again.

Oh jingle

That's a bit harsh, J0. Mercedes was only asking to get to know you better. I wonder what that 'profile' tells her about you.

Done that (profile) #goodluckwiththat

mercedes JO9 won't tell us anything about herself. Actually I think she's a *avision proceeding from an oe'er heated brain'

I think your opening post is wise, mercedes .

j08, Why don't you complete your profile to let me know more about you? I have huge interest to see your posts in fact, please show me some mercy to let us know you, thanks in advance!
