Hi everyone, just some advice, have been feeling anxious when there is no need to be, are they coping etc with having new baby, is this normal ?

FannyCornforth Wed 16-Feb-22 12:35:14

Bumping thread!
Welcome to GN! smile

Marydoll Wed 16-Feb-22 13:12:21

Thank you, Fanny! ?

FannyCornforth Wed 16-Feb-22 14:30:27

Fancy meeting you here!
We could have our own little private party?

Marydoll Wed 16-Feb-22 17:39:36

You seem familiar, have we met before?

FannyCornforth Thu 17-Feb-22 16:18:53

That’s funny, I was just thinking that myself….
Hang on a minute… ?
haven’t you just called me a besum?

Marydoll Thu 17-Feb-22 16:23:17

besom!!!!! To be fair it is prounced bizzum where I stay.

If we are to teach you Parliamo Glesca Fanny, you need to pay attention. The red pen is out, no gentle green one for you! wink

Squiffy Thu 17-Feb-22 16:57:57

Oh no, not The Red Pen MissMary! ?? Yoo got yor teechas hat on aggen?!

Marydoll Thu 17-Feb-22 17:20:10

Sqiffy, Fanny has a dislike of red pens, I believe she always used green, as did I.
However, she deserves the red one, because she is a cheeky wee BESOM!!!!

Squiffy Thu 17-Feb-22 19:14:49

We’ve got a besom in our garage, but it hasn’t been cheeky so far … It’s allowed out in autumn to sweep up the leaves and then it’s incarcerated again! I feel bad now, should we let it out more often?

Marydoll Thu 17-Feb-22 19:31:48

Not if it's as badly behaved, as my dear friend Fanny. wink.

I am awaiting a series of PMs in the morning! However, I do know she loves a bit of banter. I hope

Hello everyone - I joined GN quite a while ago and love all the chat, from all over the world it seems. I've not posted before but I have picked up quite a few tips from you all! I wish you a happy evening and hope the ones feeling poorly or going through a hard time feel better very soon.

Marydoll Thu 17-Feb-22 19:33:48

Allyoops, welcome.

Please be assured, Fanny is really a good girl, this all relates to the Glasgow meet up thread.

Hello watchya, hope you find some interesting threads here.

Hi from Somerset, (originally from London area) been reading the threads on here with great interest for a few weeks - this is my first posting. Still working part-time and looking forward to retiring in a few years.

Blossoming Tue 17-May-22 13:52:18

Hello VB000 welcome to Gransnet, hope you find plenty to interest you smile

Hi, I'm a newbie on here, think it's my 3rd week starting after 'lurking' ( or reading) for a week or so prior.

I found the site after Googling a question and was happy with the advice given to someone else with the same problem, so joined, but feeling a bit like a kid at a new school, if you know what I mean.

Anyway good evening to you all and I'll continue to read the posts while I sit with my cuppa brew.

Blossoming Sun 22-May-22 19:48:14

Hello Lark123 glad you like the site. Feel free to join in when you’re ready, we were all newbies once smile

Lark123 Sun 22-May-22 20:10:15

Thank you so much Blossoming.

I appreciate being acknowledged and being welcomed smile

Means a lot, now I don't feel quite so alone on the 'playground'!

Blossoming Sun 22-May-22 20:29:32

A couple of threads I’d recommend are in the Chat forum, the daily Good Morning thread and Soop’s Kitchen. Have a read and if you think they’re your kind of place just drop in and say hello. You’ll be made welcome.

Charleygirl5 Sun 22-May-22 21:41:28

Blossoming you took the words out of my mouth!

Blossoming Sun 22-May-22 22:33:15

Great minds think alike Charleygirl!

Lark123 Mon 23-May-22 09:30:10

Good Morningsmile.brew

Thank you to you both; Blossoming and Charleygirl!
