My favourite moment had to be singing the carol at Christmas. Thank you to all the lovely gransnetters I've had the pleasure to become acquainted with over the year....
For me it was the wonderful support I received from all my amazing new friends after John died suddenly. I didn't post for a long while, but I kept peeking and to read all the words of comfort and encouragement meant a lot during a very sad and emotional time. (thank you all again )
Congratulations, I have only recently found this forum and long may it continue. It is informative, light hearted (sometimes!) and great for people who are housebound or for some reason can't socialise.
For me, it was the moment I logged on [^ages and ages ago^] to discover that a member who had been needling me, appeared to have had an overnight personality transplant. It was as if I had wandered into a derelict house [expecting the worst] and finding that it had morphed into a cosy, comfy, welcoming home...which is the way I feel about Gransnet.
Can anybody picture the lucky Gransnetter, sitting on a wet afternoon stuffing chocolate, getting quietly gin-soaked, and reading crappy books interesting literature.
Oh gosh - like green there are so many good moments, but my favourite one would be chancing upon the Joys of Winter thread. That's where I found my GN feet.
My favourite moment was on the morning 5th May 2011 when I first posted on Gransnet, since then I have had many moments of laughter, lots of tears, but have made some very special friends so it would be unfair to pick one moment from so many
As you know we will be celebrating our first birthday on 5th May - and to say thank you for making it a really special year we have put together a fabulous goodie box as a gift for one lucky Gransnetter.
All you have to do to enter is post on this thread telling us your favourite Gransnet moment from the last year.
The prize includes chocolate from Montezuma's Great British Pudding range, a bottle of No.3 gin and some fabulous books and the winner will be picked at random on Monday 7th May.
