Love the name Merlotgran (I like a glass or two myself!). Grannyactivist, one daughter is now proper work and is settled 2-3 hours away from here, and the other is in her final year at Uni and plans to find a certain type of job and that could be anywhere... so they are still 'around' but no, not really here.
What a lovely warm welcome, thank you everyone! No I don't think I'm your sis, grannactivist as mine really are in their 20's! I will be drawn in I can tell, and I'm glad I can contribute without having GC's. I just sort of feel that I am in a different phase of my life now that my children are making their way in the world (hopefully!)
I have a sister who always announces herself as JustMe, so for a second there I did wonder........, but no, her children aren't quite in their twenties yet. I warn you now, we're a community that sort of draws you in - possibly to the detriment of other things you might once have thought more important. Be prepared to waste spend hours on here.
No problem, JustMe. We have/have had non-grans on here and the vast number of forums they can take part in far outweighs the ones about grandchildren and daughters-in-law!
Hi, I've just joined and wanted to say hello somewhere and wasn't sure where!
I need to confess, I am not a Gran but I do have children who are in their 20's so it's only a matter of time! I hope that doesn't matter that I'm posting here and not on mumsnet where I used to post when the kids were younger and now I feel like a fish out of water because I am OLD (compared to those on there!) and rearing children is a bit different now as to how I used to do it. I think when I eventually have GC I might have to butt out!
Anyway, the sun is shining, I shall have a poke about on here and I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday with lots of and and later on . Cheers!
