Hello,
I've been "loitering with intent" for some time and decided to take the plunge and join.
I am 66yrs young, have a great DH, a "tricky" DD and lost my DS aged 23yrs suddenly 20 yrs ago.
I don't and won't be having any DGC, but have a sweet little Step- GGS thanks to my DD's Step daughter.
Looking forward to chatting with you all.
Flour.

Hello Fleur, Ive been dipping in and out of Gransnet since 2012- I read the Good morning thread most mornings, along with Soops Kitchen thread most evenings. Both are gentle, chatty,caring threads where I sometime comment, but not everyday.

As a general point of interest, I do find that I look at Gransnet Active every day too and have often found useful information being posted by others, which I didnt realise I wanted or needed to know about until I read it!

Thankyou all for being there, ready to help if able to when needed, much appreciated.

Morning Fleur.
Have you read today’s GM thread, always started by Mick
Perhaps you’d like to contribute to it - I think most GN’s read it.

Hello Fleur!
Enjoy Gransnet.

Hello Fleur, and hope you enjoy joining in with the gransnetters. All sorts of people come on here , and you will find many ideas to consider and if you have a problem, lots of people will put on their ideas that might be helpful. I dont sleep well, have various problems, but I love this . I live alone and do not want to disturb my neighbours when I acnt sleep, so this is great, where I can catch up with news and view, put in my twopennth, and having had my little rant go back to bed and hopefully to more sleep. Tonight is is absolutely freezing and the mind has been going round and round, so now Ive had a look at the various posts am off to hopefully get a little more sleep. Definitely I would look at Good morning , I have joined in with the people on that thread and enjoy reading about peoples happenings from all over the countryside. Of course I could be walking past someone in the street and wouldnt know them but on here we are friends who take an interest in each others lives and try to pass on any good ideas. So hope you will enjoy joining us.

Welcome Fleur! Whenever I hear the name I can't help but think of an episode of a TV programme 'May to December' where they decide to call their daughter Fleur because someone had made a shopping list (I think) with a badly written 'flour' listed. A very pretty name smile

henetha Sun 12-Jan-25 00:11:34

Me too. Fleur is such a pretty name, but I did smile at Flour..
Welcome and good wishes.

And hello from me Fleur (although I did quite like ‘Flour’ it was ‘different’ 😂 anyway - memorable!). 👋
