Welcome to all newcomers. Just beware it can be addictive.

I am relatively new to the website site Carrieon and in just 2 weeks I have become hooked.

In that time I have found out how to stop my nails flaking, have found out about scary books to read, have recommended a great series of books by Elly Griffiths, have sent in a Blog which will be published on Gransnet when there is a gap, have discussed the weather most days and added my favourite films to the list ...now that is just for starters !

Within a week you will be an 'old hand' at it.

So a BIG welcome.

Hi there, carrie and welcome! I can't imagine life without GN.

Welcome Carrie - I'm still a bit of a GN rookie but do find it a friendly and supportive place to visit. And often a bit of a giggle. And a bit addictive so be warned!

Welcome Carrionshopping, I am a fairly recent joiner too and have found this forum to be helpful, supportive, kind and often very funny! But do beware, it is addictive......you just keep having a quick check........grin

Welcome, I hope you enjoy it, but be warned it can be addictive!

You too!
It may take me a while to find my way around the site.

Marelli Tue 11-Feb-14 14:30:31

And it's a wave from me too, carrieonshopping! Very pleased to meet you. smile

Thank you Stansgran. I hope to make new friends.

Don't worry, we are all waving here and if you think you're drowning you'll get a lifeline.

Thanks for that,

I have only just joined and it seems everyone is really friendly.
Really pleased I came across this site I had started to sink a little.
Thanks.

Hello carrieon and welcome to Gransnet. Have a wander through the threads (I usually click on the Active threads or Last Day at the top of the page) and start posting, you'll soon find your feet. smile
Redundancy is horrid at any age and there are a few Gransnetters who have been in your position - although apart from the finances sad it seems that GN is a pretty good alternative to working. grin

Just wanted to say hello, to you all.

Im new to Gransnet. Made redundant at the the age of 54 and a little lost, so looking to make new friends. Hope I am in the right place?
