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

My first single was Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum.

I tend to lurk but have commented a couple of times.I love the varied topics and sound advice offered on here.

Jewelswalk - nice name ... welcome.
Mrshat - also a good name ... welcome to you, too.
Leah50, I think I have seen a post or two from you because I know someone called Leah and therefore notice your name ... hello.
Morgie - good to see you here. I love your name because my dad was affectionately known as Norgie in the family, although his name was Norman. So your name has happy associations for me ?
Strawberry, with your name I imagine you would be welcome anywhere (especially with ice cream!).

Great idea GN ... well done.

I suppose you could fall me a lurker too. I have posted a couple of times and so enjoy reading others day to day so thank you for that. I will turn 60 at the end of March (groan ....) And I live on the outskirts of Southampton work part time in M&S and look after my granddaughter 3 days a week which I love doing and take only money to cover petrol from my daughter. So that's me in a nutshell and I'm so happy to meet you all so happy posting!

Sugar Baby Love by The Rubettes

My first single was Hot Love by T-Rex

I can’t remember my first single but my first album was ‘Nicely out of Tune’ by Lindisfarne. ???

I'm not new and not really a 'lurker', I post as when I feel I might have something useful to say

Hi all, I'm a long term lurker, I look forward to the daily emails and reading the various subjects. I have four fabulous grandchildren.

Hello Lurkers! I lurked for a year or so before posting - but I do find GN such a source of sense and good humour. I would miss reading the regular posters, so why not become one?

Hello to all my fellow lurkers!! Seems I'm in good company!

I am a new lurker a few weeks.I have posted a couple of times but feel a bit like Nanaval4G you all seem to know each other well and I haven’t really liked to interrupt.
I have 7 GC and 1 GGD and another GGC due in August.

I read posts daily and occasionally respond. Reading some posts makes me realise how lucky I am compared to many others. I often wish I could do more than just offer a few words of sympathy. I'd encourage anyone who feels isolated and alone, but needs advice, to post because other Gransnetters often offer some useful and heartfelt advice. And, if nothing else, some of the lighter hearted postings will make you giggle.

Hi everyone,I've been a lurker for quite a few years and get the news letter and follow the topics there especially Good morning. I feel as if l know many of the posters and worry if they don't appear for a a while. The main reason I don't post is I'm a bit finger happy and worry I I would go on too long (like now). I am 70 in July,live in Sussex and have 6 children and 13 step and blood grandchildren ?. My first record was 76trombone s when I got a Dansett for passing the 11+.

I am a lurker as well. I am a full time carer for my 99 year old mother. I feel as if I am back in the real world when I read the messages. They allow me to be me and not just a carer

I lurk - having an identity crisis as spiritually a MNetter but age-wise should be a GNetter. Still have teens at home.

I’m not really a lurker as I do respond occasionally. Sometimes when I think ‘oh what does it matter whether I say anything’ I have to remind myself that without posts and responses, gransnet wouldn’t exist.

I cannot remember which was the first single I bought.

My favourite garments are wide leg crops.

I'm not a lurker as I occasionally post, but I would like to welcome any new readers. I really look forward to my daily message, as there is usually something interesting on there. I have been on some of the games, but they are very addictive and I feel guilty that I should be doing housework instead!

My first single was Jo Stafford singing You Belong to Me. My boyfriend at the time was doing his National Service in Egypt,so the lyrics were quite relevant.

Needless to say, it all came to nothing and we went our separate ways, as happens with teenage romances.

I’m a daily lurker from the USA. I’ve only posted once before just to comment. I love the women in the UK and although we have much in common, I relish the differences in how we live our lives. It’s the little things that interest me.

I’m a lurker but regularly read posts and have to say the subjects often resonate with my own experiences, good to see others take on situations. I will try and Jon in more from now on! Also love your competitions.

I do post but do a lot of lurking too! Love gransnet for the humour and common sense. Something nearly always makes me laugh out loud. I also like it for the support it gives and it often makes me re-appraise my ideas too.
