A birthday present from us to you!

Ah, that's it. It's 7 years since my hip op, but I still don't want to risk bending and stooping that far.

[um] okay, it's just a wee box of old rags stuffed to the back of the underside of the kitchen sink. I'm not allowed to bend or stoop...hence it stays put

What's a duster cupboard? Where could it be?

nanachrissy ...so, you flick a duster I wondered what it was that I should be doing and never quite down to doing. The duster cupboard hasn't been visited since ... Like you, I've betterer things to do than displace dust.

Mrsjam please get your priorities right! Firstly GN, then after several hours you can flick a duster if you must why would you and eat if you wish, and maybe nip out occasionally.
Why should you be any different to the rest of us?

GN is entertaining, supportive and combative - sometimes all within one thread. One of my favourite moments was when I was really fed up in early Janurary and fluffy posted her idea of having a notebook and writing down all kinds of things she wanted to do from big - go on holiday - to small - a new dish to try to cook. At simple idea but when the gloomies hit it is hard to get up the energy to even think of anything to do and the book can sometimes just prod me in the right direction. Thanks fluffy.

I see jingl as a Joyce Grenfell look alike, all prim and proper but coming out with saucy quips and apt to burst into song. Love that one she sang about a galleon, " stately as a galleon she sailed across the floor, doing the Boston two step as in the days of yore "
jingl and I have been here through thick and thin, i'm thick and she is thin [grin ]

[shrug] it's what we all do anyway

Reading through this thread after a couple of busy days when I have hardly had time to glance at GN, I realise that not only have there been many wonderful moments but there also lots of others that I have missed!

To really keep up, I'd need to be sitting here with the laptop all day, leaving the family to starve, the garden to revert to jungle and letting the spiders festoon the house even more than they do anyway.

Life's too busy, and I thought I would have a lazy retirement

Who's being good? Am I missing something?

No I cant be Head girl I am too naughty, cant have any fun if your being good

Keep the entries coming GN'rs. We really need to lengthen the odds on *Glass* me getting her my hands on a full bottle of gin!

Do you know me Notso?!

Nannachrissy keep it sensible. Glass is the Head Girl.

I always imagine Jings as a fairly traditional and conformist looking lady whose appearance lulls people into a false sense of security
Way to go Jings!

Jingle you do provoke a lot of conversation and speculation!

I picture Jingle as a 60 something, well-dressed, slim and very correct-looking woman with a mischievous glint in her eye, who sees the possibilities of some wicked fun in everything around her, living in a village where the people she comes across do frequent double-takes.....'did she really say that? No...she doesn't look the sort!'

Nanachrissy I second that. I always imagine Jingle as a St. Trinians character - short, gym slip up to her a...e, wild hair, hockey stick waving in the air and rampaging through GN headquarters causing chaos (sorry Jings)

Jingle for Head Girl I say! What larks!!

Why you been out in the cold

Ahh I am a bit slow, your at home in your pjs, cari right get yourself to bed the littlun will be up before you know it. xx

My ears were burning btw.

Picture Cari cross-legged on her bed in her jammies - gransnetting on her laptop.

That Jingle Christmas present was the best post.

cari what you still doing at work, go on get yourself away home to that gorgeous little girl x
