👋 late greeting as I suspect Mick has trotted off as GN was down until now!

Hope you’re all ready to wave goodbye to whatever 2025 brought and looking forward to good news in all departments for the next year 🥂

Best wishes to everyone on this lovely thread x

Happy New Year to everyone x

Morning all from a freezing West Oxfordshire.

We are taking our granddaughter out for lunch in our nearby town. Her parents will collect her late afternoon.

I have a cold now, as well as conjunctivitis, which isn’t clearing as quickly as I’d hoped.

Have a good day. OH and I will be staying in tonight. I have booked lunch at a favourite restaurant tomorrow.

Good morning Pantglas2, I have never posted on this thread, but have read it every morning for a good few years. We will be seeing the new year in at our static caravan in your neck of the woods in North Wales (although we live in the Midlands). We often drive through your namesake village of Pantglas, which always brings your name to mind 🙂.
Hope you and everyone on this lovely thread have a good as possible 2026 🥂

Happy New Year everyone - here's to a good 2026 for us all ❤️. I'm a bit of a lurker rather than a regular poster!

Jaxjacky Wed 31-Dec-25 11:17:16

Morning from a foggy, cold S Hants. Friend visiting later, in tonight, the best 2026 to you all x

Good Morning Everyone,
I did try several attempts earlier to get on,mind slight change in the way I would used as a heading.
Been to Bicester and pack said a few hellos etc to those people I know.
Health OK
As to being unable to get on I did two things , 1 , I went on to the Gransnet Facebook page mentioning it and the 2nd option I sent an email to Gransnet and copied and pasted the page I had with the error on it .
Take Care,
Mick

Glad to see every one - I thought you were all ignoring me.

It is perishing here and that looks to be the picture for a few days.

I have an eye jab this afternoon so that means a quiet NYE for us.

Have the best day possibke everyone.

Good morning from a Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast.
I’m usually a late poster, but tried earlier to no avail.

I’m enjoying my hearty soup made from the turkey carcass. The pan is so large I’m keeping it in the car in the garage.
Quiet days at the moment, a bit of artwork etc.
I might have a walk in the dunes at the bottom of the road soon.
All the best for 2026🌺

Usedtobeblonde Wed 31-Dec-25 11:21:24

Good morning all.
I think many of us would be discombobulated by not being able to connect this morning.
One of my first actions every morning is to log on to GN and when it’s “not there” I feel rather lost, however better late than never so I hope the morning is a good one for us all.

mamaa Wed 31-Dec-25 11:25:26

Phew normality has resumed- like UTBB I like the routine of reading about all your doings- not that I post on here much, but it’s v comforting and a bit of normality even in these strange times.
Will pop back later to see if others have joined in. x

GillyMo Wed 31-Dec-25 11:26:34

Wishing all the best 2026. I have been reading these morning threads for a short while recently so I will attempt my New Year's resolution of actually contributing. DGC are staying with us today so DH and I are exhausted. It's a lot different looking after little ones now, 30 years later, compared to when I was 30, mainly struggling to get up off the floor holding a baby. But it's a real joy some of the things the older one - at two years old - says. He's started calling the dog 'darling' for one thing.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 31-Dec-25 11:30:29

A late good morning 👋

The cleaning fairies have been, the house is shiny, decorations are still up, I love the lights and the smell of real Christmas trees 🎄

We have The Imp for a couple of hours this evening whilst DD pops out, not sure I will be up to see in the New Year.

I wish you all happiness, good health, prosperity and hope that 2026 is kind and gentle for us all 🙋‍♀️

RosesandLilac Wed 31-Dec-25 11:31:22

Good morning! Thank goodness all’s well for the Good Morning thread 🤗, I did miss posting first thing.
We had a lovely dog walk as the sun rose, very frosty and absolutely perfect. I have cleaned through, put the washing on and lit the wood burner, it’s barely above freezing here today.
There’s gammon and jacket potato for dinner, I will have salad with mine I think. An afternoon of doing some watercolour painting I think, I have done A, B and C of my illuminated letters, rather chuffed with how they’ve turned out. Only another 23 to go!
I hope you all have a lovely New Year’s Eve 🌹

RosesandLilac Wed 31-Dec-25 11:33:00

I’m just like you Usedtobeblonde, it’s part of my first thing routine. Definitely discombobulated this morning 😊

GrannyGravy13 Wed 31-Dec-25 11:33:09

Hello and welcome to our new good morning friends 👋👋👋

Icandoit Wed 31-Dec-25 11:34:52

Another 'lurker'. Wishing everyone a 'Guid New Year' and wishing all health and happiness for 2026.

GrandmaC47 Wed 31-Dec-25 11:36:37

Wishing you all a good New Year’s Eve.
I’ll come back, later I’m off to have my roots done for 2026 😂.

Greyduster Wed 31-Dec-25 11:37:26

Good morning, Michael and UTBB for your valiant efforts to get us on line. It had an upside here - I was able to give my oven a jolly good clean without being distracted! Now I can happily be distracted on and off for the rest of the day!

We have a clear crisp day in South Yorkshire. I shall go out later and clear the cobwebs. I won’t be seeing in the New Year - too much like emotional hard work these days. My Happy New Year will come tomorrow when the family turn up hungry for a slap up lunch!

Have the best day you can folks!

brook2704 Wed 31-Dec-25 11:37:28

Hi everyone from Inverness
A late start for us all today but wanted to wish everyone a good New Year and enjoy any celebrations happening this evening
Take care all x

Good morning all from a sunny Black country, thank you for opening Pantglas.
Just the two of us to see in the New Year since our neighbours upped sticks no more get togethers.
Nice to see a few new names welcome 👋.
Wishing you good health and happiness for the New Year everyone, have the best day you can whatever your plans and may you all find a little bit of ☀️.

Blue54 Wed 31-Dec-25 11:42:47

Another lurker here smile just wanted to wish you all a Guid New Year n Aw the Best for 2026 and Lang May Yer Lum Reek!

Good morning Hogmanay from a very cold Glasgow.

Welcome to our new posters.

As soon as I realised GN's server was down, I got up and baked a cake! No point in lying in bed.
If their server is down, HQ probably can't read emails, so no point in contacting them.

I had worked out it was GN's own server, which was down and they would soon realise, when they couldn't do anything! 😁
I used to hate when this happened in my job. The phones didn't work either, so I couldn't phone the techies for help!

I actually feel worse today, probably because I overdid it yesterday.
I went to M&S food hall and was sidetracked by the Sale. Then I bumped into an ex colleague from our other parish school, who told me I was looking great. No sympathy there!

I began to feel a bit unwell and sat on a seat for a rest, who who spotted me, but Dollie. DIL was not amused at all at me being out. A telling off was given. sad

I don't really want to go out, but I have a stash of prescriptions to pick up, but can't do it until after 2pm.

Have a pleasant day folks.

GG, I hope you are feeling a wee bit better. ​🧡​

Grammaretto Wed 31-Dec-25 11:53:16

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. A nice sunny day but so cold I put my new coat on to go put and am keeping it on.

I've had an invitation to a friend/neighbour for tonight. I shall take my Christmas cake get some of it eaten

I've just had a man round to see if he wants my surplus toilets and washbasins. found in my cellar He's coming back later with his wife! 😅

He has just moved to this area to be near his DGC and told me they'd had 7 skips when downsizing so I would need many more.😒

Wishing you all a Happy New Year.
