Welcome to new members

I just popped in to see how shysal's doing over here. and to you, Missus, for keeping up with all the new guests and welcoming everyone.

I hope you all enjoy Gransnet and join in with the discussions. It's fun, supportive and friendly, 99% of the time. Don't let the 1% put you off!

Hello Rigby 46, welcome . I see you are another with 46 in their name. Is that your age or year of birth (if year, me too)? There are lots of Gransnetters turning 70 this year. Enjoy! You will be braver than I am if you post on political threads!

Hello Maggie, thanks for the visit, it is appreciated. I am not great with words so am running out of original things to say to people!

Hello, this is my first post as well. So my advice for you Heirofthe dog is to casually mention to your son that you've been thinking about what you'd like to be called, and tell him your choice. It doesn't matter if the other grandparent wants to be the same as an add on can always be used to distinguish between you both. Your son can then tell your DinL if you feel uncomfortable about it. Don't feel pressured, it should be your choice.

Welcome Diggingdoris, I love your name! . Be prepared to waste spend too much time on here, it can be addictive!

Hello, I'm new today, will be a Nanny soon. I love a laugh so hope you have some funny threads as well as more serious ones

Hello LadyGracie, welcome . Enjoy your years of fun as a grandmother! It sounds like you will be fun to have around on Gransnet! I avoid Religion and Politics on here, and love the amusing threads.

Thank you shysal, I'll be avoiding religion and politics too, I'm here to entertain and be entertained (wine)

Sorry, no square brackets

shysal - yes celebrations planned for next month and driving licence renewal applied for! May start off in Archers thread

Hi, I've just joined the group and am slowly finding my way around the system. Not really a new grandma, we've just received our 14th this week! Sadly we don't see as much of them as we would like as they all live in different parts of the country.
Incidentally, my step-grandchildren named me Grandmags (instead of Granny Margaret) as they already had 2 grandmas but wanted to recognise me in the family, which I thought was lovely. I am also a 46er, celebrating the big 70 last month.
Really looking forward to reading all your 'Bon Mots'.
My best wishes to all your correspondents.

Hello grandmags, welcome to another 46er . What a lot of grandchildren!. The mind boggles at the thought of Christmases and birthdays. My 6 cost me a fortune! I love them all dearly of course.
Enjoy all that Gransnet has to offer.

Thank you, Shysal. I shall look forward to participating in the various exchanges. I seldom get involved in anything contentious or critical so I shall have to breath deep if I want to join in with some of the debates!

Hi fellow grandparents. Only just found out about Gransnet. Love it. I'm called gramma, my husband is known by many names (some printable) wink. He is called Danad by our teenage grand daughter, mis-pronounced grandad when young and it has stuck.Younger grandson calls him Dadar, our middle grandson who has ASD calls him Grandad as nicknames are silly..

. Welcome GrammaM .Glad you are enjoying gransnet. Be prepared to waste spend far too much time on here!

Many Thanks Shysal. Had a look around the site this AM and then realised it was 11 o'clock and two hours had passed. EEK {shock}

Hi folks! Rose here. Got too much time on my hands these days.
Looking forward to getting to know other members.
From Scotland origionally but live in Hampshire now many years.

Hello Rose/DAncer66, welcome . Well, you have found something to while away those spare hours! For getting to know people, may I recommend the thread entitled 'Soop's kindly kitcheners and pampered pets' where a warm welcome awaits you. Enjoy!

shysal,

Thanks for that warm welcome.

I am not a GG but have a friend who is, and she is called by her Sons ( babies to young to talk) G Gran, I think its nice, dont know what I would want to be called. I am a Great Aunt which sounds really old, I am just called Auntie.

Hello Diddy1. I see you have been around for a while, hope you are enjoying GN. I am happy being Nan and shan't mind being a Great Nan when the time comes. Not just yet I hope, older GSs only 17!

I too am a 46 baby. Been on here a couple of months now but there are still some things I don't know how to do
Is there a how to section I have
Missed. ?

Hello Morgana, hope you are enjoying the site. Welcome to the '46 club too! If there is a 'how to' section I haven't found it either. However, there is some information above and below each thread for smileys, links, customizing for bookmarking (very useful)etc.

I seem to have lost my daily email update on the forums and can't find anywhere on the site to reinstate them. Any help anyone?

Hi Lindill49. I can tell you how to do it from the desktop site, not sure about mobile site.
Click on 'My Gransnet' on the site shortcuts at the very bottom of the page. Choose 'Registration and email options' then the 'Newsletter' tab. You will then be able to tick the required boxes and save. Hope it works!
