Hello hello

Good morning Tech.

Am I the first poster on Gransnet.com?

My mum is taking the children to school but I wil get her to post when she comes back.

Mmelindt, yep you prob were! I'm just here too having a nosey. All looking good so far

Hello.
Hope the team at Gransnet are as nice as the Mumsnet team.

Ah, but are you the grandparents of the mn team?

<ahem. - spelling error in the forums box on the right with thread links - 'daughters'. Might as well start with the pedantry now

I'm anticipating a bit by joining; no grandchildren yet, unless the DC aren't telling me something! but I am a Mumsnet graduate.

Just a thought on your registration form - where it asks how you found out aboiut Gransnet, there's no option for 'from Mumsnet' nor 'via Facebook', which is how I found it - we may be getting on a bit, but we do keep up! In fact I will probably most often be found on the Tech stuff topic...

Or Twitter.

Hello Gransneteers.

Hello everyone - it's nice to be in at the start of something.

Best wishes to Gransnet - I hope it will become a force, like Mumsnet. I have been a SagaZone member for years and have always been disappointed that althoiugh it is a lovely place for social interaction, it is rubbish at campaigning and speaking up for its member group.

I actually am a Gran, rather to my suprise, fairly new at it, and am quite hands on, caring for my little one 3 days/week.

Enough waffle - I'll head off for a look around the site

Mumsnet is offline - now we have somewhere else to go!

I'm never going to get any work done!

Is this the beginning of a new site- my daughter recommended it?

Great site, I hope it will give us a chance to advocate more and be active in communities on our doorstep and across the globe.

Gransnet, please can you add a special needs section. One of the frequent comments on the SN section of mumsnet is that grandparents so often don't understand what families are facing and dealing with, and it would be good to have a section on here where grandparents can talk with each other about these things and hopefully be able to improve their support for their families. Thanks

Hi, I've only quite recently registered with mumsnet, so I'm a bit of a newbie, but I'm very glad to discover gransnet as that is really where I'm up to in life. I've very recently become a bit of an activist (hence the name) and think it's great to have a site that gives us grannies a bit of a voice.

hello,
I am interested to know Grandparents who have not access to their Grandchildren.As i am in a similar position
.Many thanks.

Josie - I'm sure Tech is very busy in that shed, but just to point out - if you just Google 'gransnet' it doesn't take you to the actual site, just to lots of Mumsnet discussions about Gransnet.

Hi Grannies,
due to join you in June when first grandchild due, v excited

Talk about a kafuffle...it took almost half a day to get the hang of getting myself accepted as a new member. Isn't it exciting, girls? Wish that we could pop the cork on a decent bottle of Champagne. Why? Because we deserve it! )

That makes two of us...

Just joined Gransnet and saying hello to everyone!

hello everyone
