A replacement two-bar electric heater?

I would love to buy the Queen a pair of eyebrow tweezers as I have always wished that she would tidy her eyebrows up.

I think I've spotted one or two contenders for Princess Anne☹️

I think if Princess Anne was on here we would be getting short shrift on some threads ixion smile

A pair of sandals in a colour....she always black shoes

Or a hot water bottle because all those old houses must be draughty and cold.

I’d buy her a pair of comfy slippers. Her feet must hurt because she’s always wearing shoes. I think she’d like tartan ones lined with Scottish lambs wool.

I know (from a tour of Sandringham) that her majesty enjoys jigsaws. I would give her one I have which shows all kinds of brands of household items from many years ago. It was lots of fun to do. She's welcome to send a footman round to pick it up. I would be very glad if she did as I have very many jigsaws here waiting for our coffee mornings to restart.

Thank you felllow GNetters. I have been a granny for longer than most of you and have always enjoyed Gransnet.

As you know WE are famously non political. No-one ever suspected that I was a Liberal Democrat.

Now that really made me giggle varian!

Well as long as that Meghan isn't on here we'll be ok

It is indeed a privilege for one to be a member of Gransnet. You are all doing very well. One has been having a difficult time recently with other members of our (Royal) family and it has been heartening to find such support for one on here.

I'm confused now

Come on, 'fess up
One of you is Camilla

A membership of Gransnet with the username QE2 so we know it's her and can find out what she thinks about everything!

I like to think that a member of the Royal Household peruses our humble threads and feeds back to HM!

Do you realise she is maybe a member already! OMG, can you imagine...... one of these usernames may actually be her.....if only we knew............... ?

A mobility scooter? Some time of motorised hand on a stick, she must get sick of all that waving.

B9exchange Fri 11-Jun-21 20:12:42

Just a big hug! (Yes, I know it isn't etiquette, but I really think she could use one right now!). Plus the Dorgi puppy of course!

NanKate Fri 11-Jun-21 20:07:12

A button on her mobile and phone to block M and H. ?

A waving hand machine for when she is in the car. Must be tiring all that waving. She would have to make sure she coordinated the glove with her outfit.
