WOOT - Here it is, our very own shed ( Thanks GSHQ), real posh one too, no more old doors etc. it may be small on the outside but, inside, WOW, it's a tardis, plenty of room for everyone.
However it's a bit bare atm, contributions to make it homely greatly appreciated. BUT remember it's Granddads' shed, no chintz please.

Hope to see you all from time to time.

Forence Rose is adorable, Pompa. How proud you must be. Florence was my Nana's name. Had I had a daughter [instead of three sons] I would have liked Florence Amelia. flowers

Pompa what a beautiful perfect baby and the name is lovely; many congratulations flowers

I had 3 daughters and wanted to call the first one Flora but the margarine 'flora' had just come on the market and everyone said 'you can't call a baby after margarine' so that was that and she became Hannah instead grin

Saw Florence yesterday, she is bootiful. Doesn't look like a new born, no wrinkles etc. Mum, Dad and Baby all doing fine, hopefully home today. I will put a couple more pics up soon. Thanks for all the good wishes.

my shed is getting a bit cold this weather and grandma moans the dirty carpet should go. What I need is to get rid of her and get a warm cuddlier one to replace her, (and keep the carpet)!!!

What`s happened to grandads shed?.
Has it fallen down...no posts..no pun intended...or has it been `ivaded` by aphyds or gerontaphyles..or even..LADIES?wink

Ana Tue 01-Jan-13 14:15:29

I think it's falling down due to lack of interest and maintenance...sad

messenger Tue 01-Jan-13 15:13:02

Pity Ana....wink I bet I could kick-start it off again but I am getting lots of wierd messages from the GNHQ I think I would probably be banned for some reason I even got a message from MSN the other day...we`ll see how it goes if I`m not incarcerated by then..grin.

Grandad's Shed 041113

Hello Shedders all, I have just taken an hour or two to peruse your 5 pages and make some notes.

Crimson: Your shed sounds more like a beach hut. With so many Grandma's unable to resist invading Grandad's privacy why don't we banish them to a Beach hut?

TJSPompa: How about a Home Brew Kit?

Robert: I am not surprised that you don't want to give birth. The Bible records how God tore a rib from Adam's side to create Eve. There were no anaesthetics in those days.From that moment onwards all men have happily allowed women to give birth the easy way.

Crimson: In the late '70's The WRAF insisted on occupying the last male refuge - a mobile shed at the end of the Runway. In preparation for the invasion my Boss ordered me to remove all the tattered Biology magazines and burn them. Two days later he angily demanded to know why there were more explicit and modern Biology magazines scattered around the shed. The WRAF's admitted that they had purchased all of them. Also that they had painted everything pink and fitted window boxes of pretty flowers for the benefit of the men. Since WW1 we males had answered the call of nature by watering the tyres, now we could water the flowers.

Hi Granddads, I opened the shed about three years ago, been away for a while now. Are there still granddads active here ?

Hello to anyone that remembers me. Are Granddads welcome on this site these days ? - we seemed less than popular with some Grans when I last posted.

Lots happened since I last posted.

Tjspompa.

Lona Sat 19-Jul-14 18:36:28

Hi Pompa, nice to see you back on here. Of course Granddads are still welcome, the more the merrier.
How are you? Where've you been all this time? sunshine
