Hello! As I said, I'm new.
I joined today. Not a Gran (or a Grandad), but then I'm not a Mum either, and I'm on Mumsnet.
So. Show me around please!

NanKate apologies, started without you, Cheese straws warming, and I have a full glass for you right here, cheers! ??.

NanKate Wed 16-Sept-20 21:24:33

Homemade cheese straws sound divine. Let’s get the party started ?????

MawB2 Wed 16-Sept-20 21:22:45

I have just googled my own Fanny

Not a phrase you read all that often Callistemon. gringrin

Welcome FannyCornforth I hope the PM from Flyinghandbag will have enlightened you as to why you have had a difficult time. I wondered about letting you know, but decided to keep my head down. Glad she has been in touch with you.

hmm
I question the netiquette of referring to a PM saying whatever -who knows? It is presumably private but does it also include the fact that at least two members of GN were openly told to “go forth and multiply” which resulted in the whole thread being deleted?
Sounds like gossip by PM which I find sneaky. I prefer things to be in the open so that anybody who is accused of anything has the opportunity to defend themselves and so that both sides of the story can be taken into account.
Whispering behind one’s hands is not something to be proud of.

Ellianne Pastis pour moi aussi svp. Santé

Jaxjacky Wed 16-Sept-20 20:39:26

NanKate how about proper, home made cheese straws?

I've had plenty of information about why I have had a hard time, sadly.
I don't bear any resemblance to a troll.
Do you really not want any new members?

Callistemon Wed 16-Sept-20 19:55:09

I'm back to 1553 - really excited now!

You have, FannyCornforth!

I have just googled my own Fanny and found her in FamilySearch, along with the whole family.
Thank you.

FannyCornforth Wed 16-Sept-20 19:46:25

Anyway, I'm glad that I've given you something to talk about.

FannyCornforth Wed 16-Sept-20 19:45:06

Oh dear. I really didn't want to generate interest 'in' my fanny.
I must say, I do find odd that I've had such a difficult time here
I've obviously done something wrong!

I'm so chuffed that I chose my username as such.
However , I am somewhat kicking myself that I didn't chose FannyFernackerpackle.
I know that I haven't spelt that right.
Its a right mess. Wine has been taken.
Apologies all blush

Ellianne Wed 16-Sept-20 18:30:41

flyinghandbagisback Wed 16-Sept-20 18:29:30

I sent you a PM Fanny. X

FannyCornforth Wed 16-Sept-20 18:28:59

Jaxjacky, hello, what is the difference between whiskey/y and bourbon?
I hope you don't mind me asking, I know that I could Google, but I thought that the point was to chat!
Thank you x
