I'm a newbie.........

My neighbour used to have a blue rinse, god bless her, she died last month.
I don't have a grey perm by the way hollie57.

the three "mature" ladies in the local charity shop all had white permed hair,looked like a row of cauliflowers!!! (bless em)

Sorry forgot to sat Hi to all the newbies

harrigan what about a purple rinse

<wonders,can you still get them>

I am also a newbie. I could never understand people who spent a lot of time on line. I use the popular auction site a lot and occasionally search for specific information, but have never joined a forum. Unfortunately I think I am becoming addicted to gransnet , there are so many comments I agree with, especially in pedants' corner - what a load of grumpy old women we have become,but isn't it fun to bitch?

hello,harrigran nothing at all just reminds of when I was a little girl and all grannies had grey hair and perms how times have changed.smile

Hi hollie57, what's wrong with grey perms ?

hi everyone,another newbie I joined last week hoping to talk to other nanny's who are young at heart and without grey perms!!about time we had a site of our own.I have 2 children and 2 lovely grandsons age 5 and 9 who are a joy.

I'm new too just signed up.

Hi everyone, how great to be an 'older person' now. We have more opportunities than our parents did, lets make the most of gransnet!

Hi Michael [] welcome ....

I just joined up last night, and I'm a very new nanna, as my first granddaughter put in an appearance 4 weeks ago

Needless to say, I'm besotted. I had banned my daughters from making me a grandma before I turned 60 but one didn't listen! I have forgiven her though, as this is the year I will turn 60, even if it's not until December, and our new arrival is totally adorable

I have 3 wonderful daughters, one (the new mum) married to an Australian, and another about to marry another Australian next month!

I'm also following Gransnet on Facebook and Twitter, so I might see you there too

Anna.

I have just joined...have the most gorgeous grandson..(of course)...yesterday feeling very weary as husband and youngest daughter both poorly...just sat in sun with gorgeous grandson on rug in the garden on one of the days I care for him...half hour spent looking at his new picture book and practising new words and laughing together...absolutely time to treasure...priceless.

Hi everyone, Joined a couple of days ago and today is first day looking through the site and posting.
I am Nanny to 10!!! 6 boys and 4 girls, ages fron 4 weeks to 18 yrs!! love it and am lucky as they are all close by, see them all most days.
I am a foster carer with 2 little ones and i have an 11 yr old who i adopted when she was 5 yrs, with all my other 5 grown up, have been single 18 yrs now. Enjoy life but don't get out much so will look forward to visiting this site x

Hi all,
I'm new today came accross gransnet on internet. I'm grandma to 3 beautiful girls aged 8,2, and one and another due in June. Its the best job ever and have to agree with elderflower1 about noticing developmental milestones and other stuff that I didn't notice with my own. Looking forward to a few blethers.

Hi everyone,

Just joined yesterday, I am also a GIW ( Granny in waiting) first grandchild due in October. I am more worried about overstepping the mark, so try and keep everything neutral when talking about the baby to my d and sil. Having said that I cant wait, and my daughter includes me in lots of things such as looking at prams!!! I cant believe the choice nor the price!

Looking forward to catching up with everyone, esp those like me about to embrace grandparenting for the first time.

Hi everyone. I joined last week but because of babysitting duties have not had time to revisit until today. I am retired and a grandma to a 2 year old and enjoying it immensley. I find I am noticing far more development milestones with my granddaughter than I ever did with my own two children. Perhaps as mums we were just too busy. Looking forward to some in tersting discussions. Have a good weekend all.

I joined a few days ago and looking forward to some interesting conversations. I live in the SW

WELCOME Michael...

Suuze ...Welcome. I am nearly 70 and feel exactly as I did at 20 [in spirit] - isn't it lovely to stay young at heart? Enjoy!

I just joined today and it's great to read all these lovely welcoming comments. I'm 47 but feel exactly the same as i did when i was twenty. Looking forward to getting to know you all some more

Hi Babette
I have just joined. Hope you are having a great weekend?

LOL, yes if you bring the rubbish out!!

I just joined. Wish you all well...Just let us prove that WE are NOT invisible!! Why should we. People say this just about women and not about men. Don't get they older???

Hello
I am new to Gransnet having just joined. Hope everyone is feeling ok today?
