Welcome to new members

Welcome lolarabbit, you don't need to be a grandparent to enjoy this site. One warning - you might still be in bed at lunch time if you log on at morning tea!

Hello. Just discovered GN after lurking on MN for a while but thinking maybe I'm a bit too old:/ No GC yet (and DC show no inclination) but do have a one year old great niece so hoping that qualifies me! Took early retirement last year after many years teaching 4/5 year olds, so it's a bit strange not being surrounded by little ones but I am loving all the leisure time and discovering lots of new interests. Looking forward to logging on over morning tea (ideally brought to me in bed by DH!) and finding out what are latest discussion topics.

Hi newbies! I've only joined this week too. Must have read same article! Beware, this site is very addictive!

Me too Littlegem

Thank you shysal

Welcome Littlegem and Megram . Glad you both like the look of the site, hope you will enjoy it. Be prepared to waste lose track of time on here.

Hi, just joined! I must admit that I didn't realise GN existed until I read an article in the paper the other day. I'm a new Granny of 6 weeks to a beautiful little boy. Looks like there are some interesting topics on the go!

Joined few days ago...
Just had to ask for reset of password ??
Alzheimer's setting in?
Loving the site!! ?

Thanks shysal. I'll check it out!

Hello mancgirl, welcome.
If you want to find details of forthcoming meet-ups, go to 'Forums' then 'Meet-ups/where are you', and see if there is anything planned which is local to you.

Sounds interesting! Where do you meet?

From time to time we have meet-ups of NW grans, so hope to meet you one day.

Yes I do. Name was a bit of a giveaway I suppose ☺Couldn't think of anything witty like some on here!

Welcome to G'net everyone. mancgirl, does your name mean that you either live or originate in Manchester? There are quite a few of us there or thereabouts.

I was known as Nanna by the seaside, the other was Nanna in the country! I think I had the best name (but there again, she probably does as well).

Hi. Thank you for your welcome messages☺x Can't believe dgs has completely filled our hearts and minds. The parents send lots of pics and clips which we look at constantly even though we are fortunate enough for them to live only 3 miles away and we have seen him lots. Looking forward as you say to lots of fun ahead! !

Congratulations on becoming a grandparent mancgirl, you have years of fun ahead! Welcome to Gransnet!

Welcome mancgirl same birthdate as my DS2 he is now a strapping 34yr old but still my baby boy. enjoy him.

Gransnet - what a great find! So much on here that I could spend hours reading everything! We are grandparents to our first grandchild, a little boy born 5 Feb. We are absolutely besotted and love him so much! Nan and grandpops are ournames which will probably get shortened to pops I expect. Looking forward to finding out all about being grandparents and investigating the many other forum topics that have already caught my eye!

Thanks Shysal. I daresay I'll get to grips with the site as I go along.

Hello to all the newbies and welcome.
Thank you shysal for welcoming everyone on our behalf.
Can I just plug the local Gransnet sites which can be found through the link on the top menu bar. They really do need locals to add their favourite businesses and events as well as chatting about local issues on the forums and organising local meetups.

Hi lynnie1, welcome. Please don't apologise, it is by no means compulsory to post on this thread! A few do, many don't. I hope you are enjoying GN, but be warned, it can be a time waster addictive!

Please accept my apologies. I just jumped right in posting, without reading this :/ Hi everyone, Mrs Impulsive checking in,

Welcome to the latest group of newbies . NanTheWiser, you sound like you would have plenty of interesting things to say!
Noona, May I suggest you start a new thread under Forums then Meet-ups/where are you. In that way you may chat to anyone local to you, which could lead to a .

I joined GN some months ago, after the MN hack! I usually look in most days, but have never posted, (would only do so if I have anything interesting to say!)
I'm 69, with a daughter (38), and GS (15) and GD (18). Widowed 4 years ago, but loving my freedom.
Currently going through the long process of refurbishing my house, kitchen next!!
