I have just realised that both my daughters qualify to be members of Granset ( i.e. they are grandmothers!)

It doesn't, though!

That's the spirit!!!!! (Are they members? Do you need to behave now then? As if! grin)

I am only in contact with one and she is always so busy with her lovely life in NZ that the only chat room she uses is one for expats out there and Facebook.
My other daughter, who has cut me out completely from her life has never used the computer much so I needn't worry.

My grandma (96) loves boasting that her grandaughter (me) is a grandma!

Oooops sorry I bet that didn't make you feel any better Greatnan Jeez you are not her are you?????????????? Only kidding you don't look a day over 92.

Wouldn't bother me if you were serious, gillybob - I have no interest in looking younger than my 71 years. I live in splendid isolation on a mountain pass in the Alps, so health, rather than appearance, is my priority.
(Just for interest, can you see my photos on my profile, as I have been unable to load any for several weeks?)

Yep, Gnan lots of them.

Hi Greatnan I really was joking. I sooooo envy your lifestyle and where you live. How lovely and peaceful. It must be fantastic to get close to nature and enjoy waking up every morning in such beautiful surroundings. Long may you enjoy your health and happiness. smile

Yes I can see your photo on your profile page and you do not look anywhere near 71. it must be the mountain air !

greatnan all your photos still there my dear showing the lovely surroundings where you liveenvy I know that you enjoy your own company and that you thrive where you live but when I let mr.glamma see the photo's his first reaction was "you'll never survive there it is too far from M & S and Morrisons grin Will speak soon am off for a night out with neighbour from downstairs we are going to an Indian (all you can eat) buffet.

Geneva is only 20 minutes away with lots of lovely shops (not that I ever buy anything - I reckon my old clothes will last another ten years!)

Yes, and my crinolines - but not my tank tops! Some things are just too ageing!
