People say I am not a proper Grandad

Do we know ourselves?

Shhh - we don't want everyone to know what we're going to be up to!

That's the one!
Shall we have one there then?

Highgate Cemetery. Sounds spooky all right....

Well, yes!

Who knows, jeni, they might have been 'hurried in'!

Buried in!, third time lucky?

Hurried in!!!

What's that famous one in London that all the people like Marx are hurried in?

Would that be sinister enough, jeni? A graveyard might be fun...

Where? Tower hill in the Tower of London? All those lovely male beefeaters!

jeni, not sure if we can top the excitement (mania) of the last Halloween party on Pendle Hill, but we can try. Start greasing your broomsticks, everyone!

Snailspeak, it is true that sometimes you just have to keep posting - don't lose heart!

Whitewave, I never said Duncan wasn't your dog! If you cast your mind back, it was me who kept insisting he was called Duncan - then nellie confessed that her dog was actually Donald...[indignant emoticon]

By the way , when's our next party? Do we have an All Hallows' eve one again?

Hey Snailspeak - don't feel jinked! I'm new - joined yesterday. Its like joining a new club, everyone ignores you at first but eventually when they realise you're not going away they notice you - first time for me on a Granny Site

Good grief I only have to turn my back for 1 minute and you are busy undermining my authority, he is already ignoring me when I call him Duncan and now is suggesting that I am not his owner. Well see if I care.

Isn't Donald nellie's dog?

That's because he knows he's really Donald!

Just drifting through some threads and note THAT MY DOGS NAME IS BEING SNEAKILY MISUSED ONCE AGAIN!!!!!! IT IS DUNCAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just to let those who were not around at the time that he kindly consented to act as my familiar at the party, but was so abused that he has never really recovered and has definately had a personality problem since.

Hello everyone! Can anyone join this discussion? A proper Grandad has got to be one who loves his grandchildren. We have 2 Grandsons, almost 7 & just 2 years old. My husband is not paternal but has a great bond with both of them. He likes taking the eldest out for walks now he is older (the GS). He can be strict with them & insists that our daughter doesn't take advantage by dumping them on us too often. Third grandchild expected in April..... Get me another glass of LOL

Grannies are the ones who knit, show you how to cook, say 'when your daddy/mummy' was a little girl, a warm cuddle, a soft lap. Grandads make you laugh, take you fishing, lark about when driving you somewhere, give you a bristley kiss, sit in the loo for hours, help with homework. This was my grandparents. In between travels we lived with them, these were the happiest days of my childhood, I loved them both dearly but I adored my grandfather. My 3 year old GD loves both her grannies very much but has a special soft spot for her maternal grandad. Her paternal one lives in Florida so only knows him as 'Grandad America', he is missing so much as we now have another darling little grandaughter.

snail perhaps you need to move faster!

I, apparently, am "awesome"!!! This from my 16 year old GD.

How come I always join forums too late and therefore receive no follow up? Unfortunately, I do not have the time to keep checking the site and only catch up when the weekly newsletter appears. So many people seem to know each other that I am starting to feel jinxed. Very, very .

According to my granddaughter's pals a few years ago, "You've got a real 'cool' grandma, eh?" Think I'm still a bit 'cool', with totally white hair instead of the stripey sort!
