Happy Birthday Gransnet wine cupcake flowers birthday3

Well here we are another year old, its been a old strange year for me.

Gransnet has changed over the last year with lots of new members and some members who we have lost but wont be forgotten. Heres wine to the good fun and some fantastic support that can be found here on GN.

Thanks to all the team at GNHQ who put up with all our shenanigans. smile

Happy Birthday Gransnet birthday3

Thanks to DD who showed me a thread on Mumsnet, I noticed there was a forum called Gransnet. Had a lurk for a while, not really interested in joining forums but before long I was hooked.

Ah - thank you for acronym info. All is revealed! I feel a bit more part of the gang now I can work out who everyone is talking about!

Hello Cunisap and welcome! look at Acronyms at the bottom of this page which will explain a lot!
I joined GN at the beginning. It has, on occasions been a lifesaver but with all good friends, it is quite nice to take a break from time to time when things become a bit heated or when I feel I need a little time-out.

Have recently 'found' gransnet and have loved finding like- minded women treading the amazing and challenging path of being a granny! Can someone tell me what the abbreviations stand for - e.g. DH?!

Happy Birthday best website all the best.

Ariadne Thu 08-May-14 17:49:12

I looked too - once. Enough. GN is me, and after about three years I am still here.

Just had a look at the Grannynet page, Faye, and it said 'for Grannies in the know'.
I have decided not to join as I don't seem to know a lot and am still learning!(and probably do not qualify as 'sensible) grin

Happy Birthday to a great team!

Darling daughter told me about GN when I became a granny. I'm glad I joined as I have made a lot of friends here!
It can get nasty on occasion but we all rub along on the whole.

Happy Birthday Gransnet.

Interesting website and forums.

Love visiting and reading the diverse range of viewpoints and opinions.

Best wishes for the future.

Happy Birthday cupcake those three years have had some major events for me. My GS had open heart surgery, my youngest GD was born, two weeks later my mother died. I turned 60 and during all that I was in the middle of a messy split from my ex partner (he was the biggest mistake in my life, what was I thinking urrrrggghhhh confused ).

I don't post as often but read a few posts most days. I enjoyed the parties in the early days and think we have probably scared off the more sensible posters who likely ended up on Grannynet. grin

Happy Birthday to Gransnet and well done to GNHQ for all of the hard work they put in on our behalf. Best wishes also to all of the lovely (and funny) people who post regularly and keep the forums going. smile birthday3

Huge thanks for being there Gransnet. You've provided me with laughs, help, sympathy, support, some free books, some free toys, chocolate samples, a huge print over the bed and a holiday to be taken in Wales in June! sunshine

Thank you to all fellow Gransnetters for being there too! birthday3

Happy 3rd birthday to Gransnet (AND happy 3rd birthday to my first granddaughter, Izzy! ) I love the huge variety of topics, the competitions, my local site in North Yorkshire and the fact that Gransnet feels right for me.

Happy birthday to our twin Izzy!

Many happy returns Gransnet birthday3

I came here via Mumsnet where I was reading reviews of a buggy DD was thinking about buying.

Lots of good advice on here and genuine support when I've needed it. I've also met some lovely people smile.

Sorry - belated Happy Birthday! (Got carried away with Mr Farage's thread and ran out of time - this happens all the time. DH is wondering if it's grounds for divorce!)

Happy Birthday Gransnet ! I found you about a year ago - maybe a mention in a newspaper - and it was like a breath of fresh air while I was in the polluted are of Beijing last summer. I love the humour and the wide variety of subjects we manage to cover.
