Just joined.

Hello to all the newbies welcome to GN

I am not exactly a newbie having joined a few months ago but almost straight away had to "withdraw"due to pesonal circumstances but picked up threads yesterday and names I remembered jumped of the pages. I hope to be a regular from now on. hope newbies enjoy and stay on.

Welcome all newbies .

Welcome Friendsusan andMrsEggy and any other newbies from a fairly newbie, I joined last December, when I was feeling very low , and some lovely Gransnetters cheered me up, and MrsEggy age doesn't matter, I was 70 a couple of weeks ago,and got lots of lovely birthday greetings on here.

Welcome Friendsusan and MrsEggy and others new to Gransnet. Friendsusan, your name reminds me of Milly-Molly-Mandy and Little Friend Susan!

I was one of the first to sign on but haven'had time to post, so feel new still myself. I'm hoping to have more time now and look forward to chats.

nannynog I was one of the first to sign on and have had so much fun that I haven't had time to do much else...

Thank you everyone for your welcome. Had a meeting last week with about 8 friends who I met when I joined NHR (now NWR) in 1968. We still meet on a fortnightly basis and draw up a programme for the next few months, though our discussions are not so earnest and intellectual now. Any other ex NHR members out there? Its been so good to have friends like this over the years.

I'm an ex-NHR member and a NWR member now. In 1973 I started a group where I lived, near Nottingham; moved to Hinckley where I started another but when we moved to King's Lynn there was one there already in which I made many friends. When we moved north, I got a job and then was involved in local politics, but since I retired, I've joined a local group and enjoy good companionship in it. I am also running its book group at the moment. I am still in contact with some of my old friends at Christmas.

Welcome to all the new members hooping you are finding your way about and enjoying the site.

too many oooo's in hoping ^

Hi to all newbies hope you enjoy yourselves here. As anno said - some of the others are nuts.

I'm ex NWR too but gave up ages ago - couldn't manage to fit it in.

Come on in, the more the merrier!
We are a lovely lot in here so you will soon feel at home.
Gransnetters are the best- welcome!

Welcome to all the Newbies. I am an original too - I just dip in and out according to what's going on. It's a very friendly place and everyone is very supportive, so don't be shy

hi i have just joined too so any advice welcome
my mum is 79 and a great grandmum too
being a gran is new to both of us but she has some great advice

Welcome, newgran1!

I'm a little puzzled though - how is it possible that being a gran is new to your mum, if you are also one?

Welcome to all new Gransnetters.It is very addictive !!

Welcome all, there should be a bit of a warning as this site can become very addictive and time can just disappear.
It is great and lots of opinions expressed here.

lol i meant shes new to being a GREAT gran

i only became a gran for the first time in november last year i must learn to explain things better ...sorry

No - I understood that you were a first-time gran, newgran, don't worry! I hope you'll enjoy it on here, but as others have said, it can eat up whole chunks of your day....

Hi newgran and welcome. Nice to see your name is blue to show your profile, and that you have a very young baby in your family - congratulations! We have a 6 week old grandson who is stealing our hearts more and more each day. Look forward to chatting to you

thank you .. im really new to all this

Welcome newgran1 I hope you have plenty of spare time because once you are on here it is difficult to get off again

Hello newgran1. Pleased to meet you - and it's true what harrigran says! Once you get on here, it's hard to get off again! I keep telling myself, "just one more wee look, then I'll go and do something else", but it doesn't always work!
