Ihave got a Grandson of 2 1/2 and a new baby Grandson born in March to my lovely daughter, loving being a Nana.Great having a toddler and a baby seeing both ends of the spectrum so to speak, although quite used to it, having worked with children for 15 or more years most of it in a children'sNursey so am a (gluttonfor punishment.) Actually enjoyed every minute of it .

I haven`t been onto this thread for a while, and am amazed at all the new members who have arrived, so welcome to you all!
Montana, I`m another who thought that Mr. Obama was well liked.

Hi nanaden, welcome! What fun having young grandchildren. My lot are teenagers now and everything has changed

Thank you so much shysal, looking forward to being part of Gransnet, still finding my way round lots of reading ahead!!

Hello, I found the site by accident and I'm new to Gransnet today. Why is it when you are asked for a username every sensible/funny/reasonable/useful name just doesn't come to mind - or ........ unknown to me, has dementia set in?

I have browsed Mumsnet in the past and found very useful information there, but as I am a great-grandmother there will hopefully be interesting topics to read which are more appropriate to grans and great-grans even though we are young at heart! In due course I will posting on the subject of all things dental ..... and hope that anyone interested will give me (and us) comments, information and advice.

Off to make a brew now and I suspect the rest of the afternoon will fly by catching up on Gransnet!!

Welcome, retiredrgn. Such sweet babies!! So cute.???

Welcome one and all and a special congrats to RGN-what gorgeous babies (sigh)
There's nothing like a baby in your arms is there-and nothing better than giving them back too. Lol!
We had our 7yr old DGS and his sister 6yrs old round this afternoon after picking them up from school. DGD was desperate to read her new book so we sat on sofa reading while DH did some art work with DGS - and then SIL collected them at 4.30-win, win.

Welcome Shellseeker. .I must warn you that Gransnet can be addictive! I can waste spend many an hour trawling through the threads. Enjoy!

I love reading everyones posts, I've been a member for awhile, but this is my post .I have laughed and cried, I have gotten some great advice.thanks

My first post I mean, should have used the preview button.

Hello janywoo, welcome . I am glad you are enjoying GN.

I've only just joined, to be honest I didn't know Gransnet existed, but am thoroughly enjoying reading all the messages. I am probably one of the older members, being 76. I have 3 grown up children and 6 grandchildren ranging from 24 down to 4 years, and a very dear DH. Am looking forward to getting to know people by their different names. Had trouble thinking of a name and in the end went for what I call my little red car!!!

millymouge Welcome and enjoy.

Thanks for the welcome, I love reading the threads about gardening and stormy weather, I live in Arizona where we call our friends when it's raining to ask if it's raining across town.

Hello millymouge, welcome . You are by no means the oldest member! If you click on any names in blue, their age is usually declared. I like your car's name, mine has a rude one, based on its number plate!

janywoo, I thought it was only us Brits who discussed the weather! I imagine gardening is a challenge in Arizona.

Well I didn't know that about the name being in blue so I checked mine and mine is in black! What does that mean then?

Newquay It means that you have opted not to give any public info about yourself!

Hello everyone

I have enjoyed lurking on here for quite a while so I thought I would join.

Mum of 4 and Nan of 4. Look forward to contributing.

Hello Cathy, welcome. I am glad you have taken the plunge. I look forward to reading you future contributions. I am sure you will find plenty of interest.

Hello and welcome to all you Gransnetters who joined us in May. Get stuck in on the forums and we'll be glad to get to know you.

Hi everyone sorry ive not been back on here life has been bectic with one thing and another plus ive not been too well myself this last month with my L ear had already been to see the Dr who gave me antibiotic ear dros but they didnt touch it and went back this week after waiting to see if it would get better on its own but had to see the Nurse Practioner who said it was now very deep rooted and i should have got antibiotic tablets the last time ao got a weeks supply She also said what i said first tbat i was frightened it would turn into mastoiditis so if these dont work thenmay need bloods and scan Its very annoying! Went and had cuddles with the twins when they were a week old and tiny since then our daughter has bern down and is going down in a couple of weeks again Ive had daily photos etc as on top of this June is a busy month for us so we will see them again at beginning of July they are now 5 weeks and over 9lb each! Thank you annodomini wot and Newquay hope to be on her more hen i can xx

Lovely photo Retired! They have grown so much! Assuming Isaac is in blue (I know I shouldn't!), has Amelie overtaken him in weight?
Sorry to hear that you have been so ill, I hope you will soon be fully recovered.

Hi, am new to this site. It was mentioned in a magazine so thought, why not give it a try. Have 6 wonderful grandchildren, ranging from 19 down to 1. Three girls and three boys. I live in the same town as my daughters, but sometimes think it is not the best idea. Even though I am only 60, I find myself struggling with this generation, and my daughters generations way of communicating, it drives me mad. Even when visiting them, their phones or iPads are constantly beeping! We also have a lovely older doggie who is our baby lol. We are hoping to relocate to Spain for our retirement.
