It's lurkers' week! Join in to win!

What a great idea to encourage people to post! ??

Yes it is, a great idea from somebody.?Dive straight in if you are a new forum member, there are threads ( discussions) on just about every topic from politics to homecare.
A good idea is to ask a question, there is so much experience and expertise on here that no matter what the question is, you will receive many replies.

Such a good idea to encourage new people to post.

Hii, long time lurker here My grandson is 9 months old x

StoneyGran, welcome. Can you please explain how you chose your name, or is it a secret?

I'm a lurker, but I have posted a couple of times, but I didn't get much response.

Hi I am a lurker I always read the posts but rarely post. I especially like Micks good morning thread the best weather forecasts lol. I have 2 Dgs age 8 and 6.

I'm a lurker altho' I post occasionally. Consider many Gransnetters my 'friends' and enjoy their posts.

I Lurk every day & occasionally post, only last week I guessed a fellow poster came from the next village to mine. I was right, it could have been anywhere in the world eh?

marpau welcome to GN! What sort of dogs are they? I would love a dog but I fear that the vet's bills might be too much for me. And what do you do when you go on holiday?
Cari on some of the other threads people aren't saying if they are new. I'd hate to upset someone by welcoming them when they've been on other threads and I just haven't seen them.

Hi, I am a lurker mainly, but have comment once or twice. I enjoy reading all your posts.

Hello! I always read the posts but barely write, but I will try to join in now

Hi all I lurk and occasionally post have 2 tiny DGD and newly early retired ! Not sure what to do with the time yet ! Missing my work friends ATM

Def a lurker... so far. Read some posts each day, however.

What a good idea from someone! It’s great to see new names, and welcome all of you. I think I’ve spotted posts by marpau and mrshat before, which goes to show you don’t go unnoticed on here, even if nobody replies directly.

I’ve been a lurker for a few years now, since my husband died, and enjoy reading the lively, amusing exchanges as well as words of wisdom and comfort from the regulars. I plucked up courage recently to reply to a lovely thread about remembering songs we learned in school; it was a nice feeling when I was thanked for my contribution, but I’m still a bit shy!

Do some not understand you said " havent posted before"??

I am a lurker every day although I do post occasionally, I've found that there are the regulars that ,as in all forums , enter a sort of clique which puts me off a bit

I'm a lurker too. I had just the one grandchild when i joined (my daughter's son) and now have four. My son's step son and two grand daughters from my other son. The youngest is just two weeks old. Happy days.
This is a great idea, posted once but felt awkward about just jumping in.
