As you know we will be celebrating our first birthday on 5th May - and to say thank you for making it a really special year we have put together a fabulous goodie box as a gift for one lucky Gransnetter.

All you have to do to enter is post on this thread telling us your favourite Gransnet moment from the last year.

The prize includes chocolate from Montezuma's Great British Pudding range, a bottle of No.3 gin and some fabulous books and the winner will be picked at random on Monday 7th May.

Watch out Cunard.! The last time I was on board the next door table complained we were too indecorrous for the princess grill! We had the deputy captain and his wife dining with us!

It's the QE she doesn't have ropes, she's a motor vessel, anyway they're not called ropes, sheets, stays, lines etc on proper boats!

jeni Sun 06-May-12 17:57:26

Hmph!

Anagram Sun 06-May-12 17:51:22

It sounds absolutely wonderful! You're lucky to have jeni to show you the ropes, maniac - just don't let her lead you into bad ways! grin
(Only joking, jeni!)

maniacflowers I'm looking forward to it as well, we'll have to take turns to log in to keep GN informed of our shenanigans. Do you want to be the entertainment or catering manager of our house of I'll repute?

Last year I was directed to Gransnet when first hit by sadness of ‘denied access’ to my grandson. I’ve had lots of support and sympathy on this issue.But so much more – fun,tips,information,wisdom, controversy.and a host of wonderful new friends.
I log in every day.Enjoyed the carol singing,book reviews,cookery ideas,memories.etc.etc.

But the most wonderful bonus is that I’m joining jeni on her cruise in September.Is this a Gransnet first?
It’s my first cruise.Wow! I am so excited about it –keep pinching myself to confirm that it’s true.Yes it is - not just a virtual cruise- we are all booked up on the QE for 12 days in Sept. .I’m getting my posh frocks ready and researching the amazing places we will be visiting.
Many thanks to all my Gransnet friends for your wisdom,love,support and inspiration .

Happy Birthday to GNHQ

A good thing that the News of The World are no longer in business. GN bash at Glastonbury would have made front page grin
