Hiya, hope you’re doing alright. I’m just looking for a friendly natter now and then—nothing heavy, just a bit of good company. I’m easygoing, enjoy chatting about everyday things, memories, or whatever comes up. Would be really lovely to make a proper friend.

I didnt want to leave this unanswered.

There is a group you can join called Soops kitchen.
That is about friends and natter.

I dont know which topic it is in.
I can find out if you cant find it.

And also the Good Morning thread.

Hi Fridge just join in any of the conversations (I’d avoid the News and Politics, that can get a bit harsh sometimes) and
you ll soon get the feel of who is your type of person and who isn’t and take it from there.

Havnt checked but imagine Soops kitchen should be in the Chat forum.

Hi, Fridge 52. Your local library might have info on cafe groups or they could direct you on how to find out.

silverlining48 Sun 22-Mar-26 15:00:14

Just checked and Soop is in the Chat forum .

Welcome Fidge. I enjoy GN and hope that you will find threads to join.

Hello Fidge,
Just dip in and out and join in with whatever interests you.
Welcome to the forums.

Sorry Fidge I think predictive text changed you to Fridge on my post and a lot of other people seem to have had the same text problem 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Fidge52, welcome to Gransnet. I've found this is a friendly place to pop in and out of, just be yourself and join in with the conversation in your own way. It's far less judgemental and blunt than Mumsnet, you get the odd caustic response, but you just have to brush those away and not take them to heart. The majority of posters seem nice people, the moderators do a good job of weeding out the nasties anyway. Just join in with the conversations like you would in a group of friends, not everyone will agree with one another, but that's life!
