Introducing myself

Am I just being thick? Don't think 1932 relates to Toby's age - if so she will be 90yr old not 57 as she state!!

Hi Toby.

joanna12, I agree with the other posters who say you have given out far too much personal information about yourself. This is a public forum, where people who have not even registered to join gransnet can read any posts. I think you need to report your own post to GN so that they can delete it so that your name and dob details, etc are removed from public view. Sadly there are so many unscrupulous individuals out there who could use your information for their own ends. In addition, there may be people near you who can identify you from what you have posted. Please don’t let this put you off posting on GN, just try to be as anonymous as possible. Welcome, by the way. ?

I’m such a klutz!!!
Just reread the post thinking it was dubious etc I’ve now realised it wasn’t about me ????
So sorry xxxxx

Welcome Toby and I am sure you will find some interesting topics (and people) here.

Hi everyone.
Thank
You for all your nice posts.
As for the couple who was dubious about me cos I hadn’t replied, I’m a real person. Lol
I don’t always get the time to reply right away as I look after one of my grandkids while mum works and when she goes home I’m knackered ?
Plus all the pets I have and my hubby that I love to spend lots of time with.
I’m also going through a very hard time with one of my daughters so sometimes my nerves and anxiety kick in, so I apologise if I don’t get to reply to everyone right away
Thanks anyway xxx

Hello Toby. Well done for introducing yourself so well. I'm 70 and from the English Midlands. Lots of friends and good ideas on here. Welcome.

I thought the same thing Fanny too much identifiable info.
You don't have to be a member to read GN, so anyone can read what you post.

FC - I’m dubious too

Joanna I have reported your post because you have given your name, whereabouts and full dob.
It isn’t safe to put this on the internet.

I’m dubious about this thread.
Op ‘wants friends’ but hasn’t posted one single reply

Welcome Toby from a veteran. A native of Ayrshire, I'm a long-time exile south of the Border.This afternoon, as ever, I'll be shouting my head off for Scotland in the 6 nations. In the good old days, I spent many an afternoon at Murrayfield!

I like your name, Toby. Welcome to GN and I hope you will love it as much as I do. I am in south Devon but my sister lives in Ayrshire and I used to visit regularly until Covid arrived.
Scotland is gorgeous.

Hi Toby

I'm in Bedfordshire now but shout for Scotland in the 6 nations having lived near Dingwall for a while.
DH and I are getting to grips with new bungalow. Children and Grandchildren are within 30 miles so keep us busy. Most recent addition to the family was just 2 weeks ago!

Glad you found GN - hope you enjoy it.

Welcome Toby, I am one of the Glesca Grannies, a formidable bunch! ?
We too have meet ups, in fact there is one on 15th March.

What a lovely welcome from everyone!
Are you coming back Toby?

Hi Toby and welcome.

I live in Leicestershire with my Dh and our 3 cats. We have 5 children and 11 grandchildren.

Hi Toby welcome I hope you enjoy Gransnet. I should stay out of the politics threads if I were you...depressing. Try Soops Kitchen

Evening Toby miles away from you, S Hampshire, retired with a working husband, two children, two grandchildren from my daughter.
Enjoy Gransnet.

Hello Toby this is a good place to be you are in nice company. I am mum of two nanny to three and live on Merseyside with my husband and our rescue dog.

Hi Toby and welcome. I very nearly had a Chow Chow puppy a couple of months ago. I’m still undecided.

You are very welcome Toby. I love your list of who is special and your husband comes first. Are your fish tropical? I find fish so calming but don’t have any just now for logistical reasons.
I hope you find the Good Morning thread which Michael opens every day around six am. The other thread to join is “Soop’s Kitchen”. Let us know if you don’t spot them. Go into “Forums”. And they will be in “Chat”. You will be made very welcome. Especially if you bring virtual cake or savouries into the virtual kitchen.

Hi Toby good to hear from you, lots of animal lovers on GN.
A word of warning don't put too many personal details on here as your information can appear on other sites.

Welcome, Toby. I hope that you enjoy the GN life.

Hello and welcome from across the pond. I'm just turned 60, still working, mum of 3 and granny to 4. One little Aussie sheppherd, but often have kid's pets around! Husband just texted that he has 3 dogs following him around today, watching every move...

Lots of good chat and support here.
