Good morning from a cool, grey NE, the heating is on.
Had a lazy day yesterday, binged watched several episodes of The last anniversary, I think Miranda Richardson plays a good part.
DS and GD2 are going to visit this afternoon, I haven't seen them for a month due to various holidays. I look forward to a musical evening.
Thinking of the FGTs.
Have a good weekend.

Good morning everyone from a decidedly damp and grey Northampton, set to be like this all day. I believe DD is playing in an open air concert in a churchyard this afternoon, but it looks like they will have to decamp into the church.

So it will be a day indoors for me; have no plans, so reading, the.newspapers, and TV beckon. I'd go to the cinema but there are no films on that I fancy.

Saddened to read that FGT2 has been reported, someone obviously has no heart.

Hope all have a pleasant day. Off to toast a crumpet.

Good morning everyone from cloudy rainy Lancashire.

Yesterday was not one of my better days as I seemed to have no energy after a poor night’s sleep. The damp weather seems to set off my aches and pains. I am feeling less fatigued this morning after a lovely warm shower, now enjoying a mug of tea.

I used to leave my wallet at home whenever I walked across to the Marina Karma! The coffee shop always has tempting goodies on display and the shop sells Weird Fish and Lazy Jacks clothing.

I’m shocked to read that FGT2 has been banned, I can’t imagine she posted anything awful.

As always, my thoughts are with those dealing with illness and troubles, I hope the day brings you some comfort.

Have the best day you can, happy Saturday 🌹

So sorry to read about FGT please send her my best wishes if you are in touch with her.

I’ve just tried to message FGT and wasn’t able to. I don’t have her email. ☹️😢🤬🤬🤬🤯

Morning, everyone from a wet and windy south coast. I’m also angry about FGT being banned. I’m beginning to wonder if some of the box ticking at HQ is done by robots!

Just waiting for DD to pick me up as we’re going to Broadlands for a horticultural show. The weather forecast is awful! 😮😩
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible and love to the FGTs

I am struggling to understand why anyone would report FGT and get her banned. I am forced to conclude that there are people who take pleasure in hurting others even if they don’t know them. Bizarre behaviour.

A domestic day beckons as we are forecast thunder showers though it’s just a bit grey at present. I made the mistake of looking for a particular necklace in a box of numerous others. They have spent the last year tangling themselves together and it took an age to sort them out; decided I would put each one in a small polythene bag only to find the relevant kitchen drawer a chaotic mess so that will need tackling first. Good thing I have no commitments!

Good morning all. A mixture of rain, sunshine with patches of blue appearing through a mostly grey sky in Glasgow this morning.

Not set plan for today especially after such a rotten night of broken sleep and nightmares. I will be a go with the flow type of day.

I was shocked to read FGT has been banned! My thoughts are with you both as I strongly identify with your difficult circumstances and now, more upset for you.

Have the best day you can all.

Why on earth would FGT be banned. Just at a time she needs all our support! I have not seen her post anything that would warrant it. Cannot understand this.

My thoughts with FGT who has been banned from MN because someone reported a post.

According to Jaxjacky, she was banned from Mumsnet so does that affect her right to post on this site as well? Cruel to say the least.

cornergran Sat 07-Jun-25 11:06:56

I don't know ash. A post was deleted on a GN thread (highly unusual for FGT) and I assumed this was the cause, maybe a mis-type? Whatever the trigger it was a callous decision. Where is compassion?

I agree, cornergran - moderators appear to be unaware of the bigger picture. 😡

GrannyGravy13 Sat 07-Jun-25 12:37:48

FGT2 has been banned due to someone reporting a post of hers.

She would like to thank all her GN virtual friends for their support and friendship over the years, especially since himself has had his diagnosis.

Grannydaisy1 Sat 07-Jun-25 12:45:07

Just like to say I am thinking of fgt and himself and wish them all the best. The posts I have read from her have been nothing but kindness itself. She is such a dear lady having a difficult enough time

Jaxjacky Sat 07-Jun-25 13:03:10

Apologies, a typo by me, it’s Gransnet FGT has been banned from, sorry I misled you

Ashcombe Sat 07-Jun-25 13:24:50

Thanks, Jaxjacky. 🥰
