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?

Which island are you on Newist?

grannyisland Thu 13-Feb-14 16:05:07

Thanks for the welcomes. Always plenty of wine in my house!

Must look it up, DD1 is horrified if I use the word 'slut' to mean not cleaning the house/doorstep etc, as it means something different to younger generation.

Someone mention my name?

It was a bit called "The Sluts Charter" and I'm pretty sure I posted it on a thread then Jingl started about housework.

I also C & P'd it into the thread about tips being read on the radio.

Re "sluts corner" please contact phoenix as she wrote it. That may not be the exact title but the word slut is definitely in it.

I'm new too and it's definitely addictive! I can see how helpful and supportive you all are from browsing the forums. Must look at Phoenix's sluts corner - I need no encouragement to avoid housework! ��

Hello Carrieonshopping. I'm new on here too so still finding my way around, but finding GN very interesting and informative. Hope you will soon find your way around and enjoy yourself.

I'm registered on both, but never posted on MN. Dd does though. Have no idea of her user name. Suspect I'd find her on the sling/ co sleeping/ natural parenting sites,
She's an 'earth mother' but has a chemistry degree!

(Goes off, shaking head sadly to find a patch of sand to bury said head in!)
