Hello
This post is to say thank you all so much for everything this past year.
I cannot express how much I have gained from your support, help, advice, friendship and fun.
This year has been incredibly tough for me.
As well as the usual Covid stuff, my physical health, chronic pain and mobility have meant that I’m practically housebound.
This has also had a knock on effect with my mental health.
I’ve had to give up my ideal teaching job that I worked so hard for.
And my husband has been very, very poorly indeed.
So, on today, my first GN Fanniversary*
I just want to say thank you to Gransnetters for always being here when I needed distraction and company flowers ♥️ smile x

thanks *Alegrias for your sleuthing!

Hope you are ok Fanny, love your posts . Wishing you and DH well, thinking about you.

I'm just getting used to having a bit of a social life again, so have just popped on for a quick topic skip before popping off to bed.
I, too, have enjoyed your quirky posts, and you have sparked a lot of interesting and enjoyable comments - for which I add my thanks as well. Many of us have had a rough time in the last year or two, including myself (not related to Covid or poor health) but you and your DH have had it really tough, by the sound of it.
Wishing you both a much better and healthier year to come, and please keep up the interesting and amusing posts.
Happy Fanniversary

Late to the party as usual - it’s been a long hard day. Not quite too late to say Happy Fanniversary Fanny and to hope that you have an easier year ahead of you.

Fanniversary... I love it.
I don't post often but read a lot. Fanny, i could have written that too.
Hub has had his first counseling today and we have shared so much.
I have shared the grief i felt when we left our close circle of friends when we moved our caravan late 2019 to be closer to home.
The grief i felt when my home social groups closed last year due to covid.
The grief i have felt this year with hub ill, and the guilt at feeling guilt of having him home all day and further losing my shreds of life.
But you lot have made me laugh, kept me sane and so, Fanny, thank you

Happy Fanniversary. Thank you for your measured and entertaining posts. I admire your spirit in the face of all your difficulties. I'm newish to Gransnet - a technophobe with no previous experience of forums. [How do you do all those wonderful littles symbols etc?!]
My thoughts are with you for the future.

Annapops Wed 15-Sep-21 14:44:45

Always enjoy reading your threads Fanny. Thank you for your warmth and humour, brave lady.

Hopefully it's great times ahead for you and husband and you can put the past year behind you.
Fanny keep the great threads coming.

I always enjoy reading your posts, I wish you and your husband better health in the future.

Happy Faniversary, wishing you a better year to come flowers

Nannan2 Wed 15-Sep-21 12:28:16

Glad we helped a little- hope you have a better next year- ??

mokryna Wed 15-Sep-21 12:26:34

Happy Faniversaire, I remember when you came online, it was a dark time for everyone but you were so bubbly with your ideas and you still are. You seemed to be always online either on the thread ‘night owls’ or the days ones. I thought, in the beginning, that must be two people paid by the government as confort for older people.
I am sorry that both you and your partner have had such a bad year and wish you all the best for the future.
How is your dog and cat?

Hazeld Wed 15-Sep-21 12:19:20

Happy Fannyversary to you both and I hope the next 12 months are better than the last flowers

BlueSky Wed 15-Sep-21 12:12:15

Is it a year already Fanny? Yes I didn’t know who your name sake was, to my eternal shame, but we do learn something new every day, as they say. I agree with the others, you have such an upbeat attitude that nobody would guess your and your DH’s health problems. Agree GN can be a really supporting place, to share the good, and not so good, things life throws at us. xflowers

Moth62 Wed 15-Sep-21 11:57:50

Could I just also add my deepest sympathies to grandMattie. ?

Moth62 Wed 15-Sep-21 11:40:47

Happy Fanniversary. I love your take on things. Your posts are always very entertaining and you sound as if you’re full of fun, despite all the things you’ve been going through. May you and your husband have better times ahead. ? GN has also been my go-to place for opinions on all matters and sometimes for a downright good laugh during this last dire 18 months. Long may it continue.

FannyCornforth Wed 15-Sep-21 11:40:47

Oh thank you GrandMattie for taking time to post on here.
Like so many, my thoughts really are with you, and my heart goes out to you.
Here is a? for you too ?

Thank you to everyone else for your lovely comments ♥️
