Welcome Chrishappy! If you click on the blue outlined 'Acronyms' box above a thread, you will find the list of basic abbreviations. You will soon find yourself using them too.

Been a member for several years but not posted for a long time although I've been lurking in the background and enjoying your posts . Thought it was about time I said 'hello' again.

Hello I have just joined today. I'm afraid I jumped straight in with a comment earlier without introducing myself. I'm Granna as Nana was already taken and there was going to be a great-grandma and a great-granny we thought I should be completely different. They can always just call me gran later. DH is Gramps and sometimes Grumps! I'm looking forward to spending time here.

Welcome all newbies grin I didn't realise until this thread was started the rate at which we gain new members.

shysal Thu 12-Nov-15 07:37:59

Hello Grannaby, welcome. Don't apologise for jumping straight in, that's what I did smile. I hope you will enjoy wasting spending time on here.

Grannaby Thu 12-Nov-15 20:40:42

Thanks Shysal, I certainly am.

Hi everyone I have been a member for only a short while, however I
find the site so interesting and informative, reading the diversity of
views put forward make you challenge your own ideas and encourages
you to 'Think Outside The Box'

I am Grandma And DH is Grandpa.....our DS and DD refer to
us as Ma and Pa!
