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

I'm definitely a lurker, an old one, and have only posted a few times but will try to input more. Have two teenage grandchildren.

I'm a bit of a lurker, though I have commented on a couple of posts.
Confession time - I'm not a Gran at all (my kids are still in their student years) but I'm way too old for Mumsnet and find the posts here much more interesting!

Oops forgot to add that I am a lurker ??

I am a daily lurker and love sitting down to Gransnet everyday when I get home from work around 4pm while I’m enjoying my afternoon cuppa. I joined when my first granddaughter was born over 6 years ago and now I have 3 granddaughters of 6, 3 and 18 months. I rarely post but I love the daily threads. Apart from my 2 adult sons and 1 daughter I am blessed with 2 amazing loving daughters in law who I love to bits. Looking forward to posting more on here

@Marpau are your Dgs really dogs, as some have suggested, or small boys? Do tell!

(I mainly lurk, but do occasionally post, and have three grandchildren aged 7, 5 and 3, who have just moved to New Zealand. The eldest and youngest are boys and the middle one is a girl. We keep in touch via Portal TV using WhatsApp, since I’m disabled and can’t afford travel insurance I live in the Scottish Borders).

Hi all, I admit I am a lurker! I look at gransnet every day and it’s inspiring. Such common sense and good advice!

I’m a mainly a lurker with the occasional comment or competition entry. A really useful site with lots of commen sense.

Does anyone have the same problem. My mother law expects to be picked up by my OH and to have a cooked tea every night. She complains if we choose to go away for for a few days. She has 3 other sons and DIL’s and is always praising them for what little they do.. now is the time my OH and I would like to have time to do things together(just to go for a ride without thinking we have to be back by a certain time would good

Hi, I'm a daily lurker since returning from living in Spain for ten years. So much good advice on here plus lots of giggles too! I love the community spirit but am rather shy in posting. Must do better!

I am a lurker but love the threads. I get the daily email and it helps me keep up to date with what people are thinking.

Liz53 please start a new thread about your problem as it may get lost on this one.

I am also a lurker,although have posted a few times but prefer to read and not join in.

I, along with many others, have had so much help at times of extreme stress, so lurkers, join in and either help others or get help yourself.

I’m a lurker as well, very , very occasionally posted

I have lurked as a reader since the Summer of last year. I didn't discover the site until then. I started reading when I was having breast cancer treatment; clear at the moment . I didn't pluck up the courage to join until 3rd March. I have made several posts since then so I don't know whether I can be considered to be a lurker now ? I may just be a newbie.

Hi, I’m a lurker, sorry to say! No grandkids yet but hopefully one day, son with mental health issues lives with us and also have two daughters. Love to read the posts and can tell some of the regulars are quite witty x

Another lurker here , although I have posted a few times, usually when someone has asked for advice about a health problem that I have experienced myself. However I have made a good friend through the forum and we set up local meetings of gransnetters.

Welcome to all newbies and lurkers. Like others, I'm sure, I go through phases of lurking and regular posting, and have done so since joining at the beginning, back when we were all a lot younger than we are now

To add to what grannyactivist said, please be aware that we have all been through the experience of posting and getting no replies at all, so that we are convinced that we have killed the thread! Sometimes that thread will be resurrected months later, so don't give up hope!

I’ve posted a couple of times but have been put of by some harsh responses.
My first single was The first time by Adam Faith

Hi

Happy to welcome anyone and everyone!!

Hi I'm a lurker, by the time I've read all the replies everything that I want to say has been said by someone else.

I love Gransnet, it's a place of useful information. Tips on anything. Fashion, Places to visit, Health, Family worries, clothing, and anything else that springs to mind also general hints and tips. It's like having a good friend to discuss anything with, far better than a magazine, it's something you can discuss that might be more sensitive or embarrasing but can discuss on Gransnet without embarrassment and can get answers.

I have posted once or twice before but have never mentioned myself. I live with my husband who has Primary progressive Multiple Sclerosis. He is paralysed but nature has left him the use of his left hand so he can use computer and tv controls. We hace a dog for the disabled. She is a blessing. Our first one was with my husband from early days and they have in their own way enhanced his life. We have two carers four times a day such a blessing as for many years I was his sole carer and worked as well. I still say we have a blessed life.

Welcome all new gransnet posters. I don't post as often as others but when I do it is to try to offer ideas or help to another gran. We all have ups and downs in our lives but to hear from someone who has gone through something similar and come out the other side can be very helpful. Gransnet grans are wonderful, always willing to give advice and it's easy to be completely honest on here so it's not necessary to beat around the bush.

I’m a regular lurker (most days). Tried to post once but I don’t think I did it right! Not actually a gran as neither DD or DS seem willing to produce offspring, but who knows maybe one day!
