Log in for Gransnet

Very old posts, not sure why the revival?

I am thinking of getting a walk in shower room for less mobile partner. Can anyone recommend a firm

I found that with Mumsnet! They firstly let me join then after a while when I tried to reply to a post it clocked off and wouldn't let me ''Register'' and told me my email and password are invalid even though they're the ones they let me register with!

Eventually they let me back in and now I'd just been cut off AGAIN for no reason!

I've so far had no problem with Gransnet so welcome, we're a good bunch of eggs here!

For 10 years I was a hospital car volunteer and so went to all sorts of places to collect patients . Over time I learned quite a lot about various places and got to know what appealed to me and what didnt. So I think the first thing you could do is write a couple of lists. One positive things that you would like to continue doing and one negative things you would want to avoid. That would give you some ideas of what matters to you. Then think of whereabouts you want to be. Staying in your local area where you have got friends and things that you do, or move to another area? Then do a bit of investigation of the retirement places in the area you are interested . Not far from here there is a retirement set up where people have their own flats etc but there is also a cafe, which the public can also visit. They also have the occasional open day or charity sale day etc. So I have visited that, and enjoyed the food there and the atmosphere and the people I met were very good. Obviously things change over time, but it is a way for you to start to think about what is important to you and of course there is the costs involved which need to be compared. If you know anyone who has recently moved to somewhere like that you might ask them the pro s and con s of their change. As they say one mans meat is another mans poison, so you need to weigh up what will suit you, and look to see if there is somewhere that fits in with what you want to do. I would also say look at the transport situation . Do you have a specific parking space? Is it near train and bus if you do not drive or are unable to continue driving? Getting about is an important part of the move and however lovely somewhere seems , if it is out in the countryside with little or no transport that will have quite an effect on your life. Hope this is helpful

Oh dear I fell for that never looked at the date whoops Thanks for pointing it out Marydoll

Salsa, this thread is eight years old. It is unlikely that you will get a response to your question.

You need to start a thread of your own.

I don't think Heraandboys became back either.

Probably too busy with grandchildren!

😂

I felt quite sad, when I saw Jalima's name. She was such a clever lady.

Jailima perhaps your tablet is old and slow as I use an iPad and it’s completely speedy

Welcome to GN enjoy !

I'm another one that stays logged in. GN is pinned to start on my phone and Kindle

Welcome Heraandboys

I haven't found a problem logging in, however I do have a problem when using GN on a tablet as it is so slow and frustrating. I find the desktop much better.

You sound like us - DGC are like buses - you wait for years then two come along together and another one not long afterwards!

Welcome Heraandboys123 I messed up my login some time ago and had to change it. I find it hard to remember the last password I wrote, so I stay logged in.

I tend to encode my passwords so they become less easy to copy but I don't always remember quite how I encoded them in the first place.

Enjoy GN don't get addicted.

I also do not log out. Welcome but one word of warning- do not lose your password. I was locked out for yonks until I eventually got it sorted.

I have the link for Gransnet in my favourites, so just click on there to come on here, no problem.

Welcome heraandboys. I hope you enjoy GN.

I stay logged in to GN all the time and have it book marked on my phone and computer.

I don't have to sign out either as I'm the only one using this laptop.

Welcome to GNet, Heraandboys. Sounds like you have an exciting time ahead with the new arrivals.

Hello and welcome Heraandboys Going from 1 to 3 in a short space of time, how lovely.

I never sign out so don't know about the problems you're having. I don't remember it being difficult to join though.
