I am new to Gransnet. I stumbled across it by accident but with 11 grandchildren, I think I must qualify. I look forward to posting in the near future.

Hi. I have just joined today because I have just become a Gran for the first time in December. Because of covid I have yet to meet her. Have only lived in Rutland for a couple of years so not got lots of friends here, hope to just have a friendly chat sometimes, now we are all in lockdown.

I’m a newbie, too. I have been on a couple of weeks and we have just come out of lockdown here so I feel for you all. We had 6 months of dreadful lockdown and still we all wear masks and hand sanitise at every shop we enter. It was worth it in the long run but a lot of us found we didn’t want to go anywhere or do anything for the first couple of weeks after we came out. Stockholm syndrome or something.

Not exactly a newbie,I think I joined Gransnet about 18 months or so ago when I took early retirement. However, I have been a lurker ?and thoroughly enjoy reading the latest threads. I have even found the courage to post myself a couple of times recently. Looking forward to getting more involved in the future.

Hello all. I joined about a week ago and my screen time has shot up! Unfortunately I had to change my username after a couple of days as I hadn’t properly read the guidelines - I hope my new ‘friends’ will let me off! I’ve joined in on the games sites, carefully posted on the some chats, peeped shyly into the Kitchen and Lobstar premises and spent a riotous night out in the Argy! So far I love it, such a diverse group, I hope to get to ‘know’ more people as time goes on.

Just joined today. I found Gransnet whilst looking for style/beauty ideas for over-65’s. It’s my birthday on Friday and I realise the last twelve months have brought so many changes I have no idea how I see myself now, let alone how I want to present myself to the world when real life v2 resumes. So hello. I look forward to seeing how this new venture works.
