As a newbie to the site, I feel a bit awkward just jumping in so I decided to say hello first and that I'm looking forward to chatting with you all.

Hello HollyDaze - pleased to meet you! smile

HollyDaze Sat 15-Mar-14 16:54:16

Thank you all for your lovely welcome messages, it makes a big difference to a nervous newbie!

Hi there HollyDaze. I joined GN 3 months ago and I have gone from a newbie to an addict ! Having said that I have joined in some really interesting conversations.

My recommendation is that when you log on tomorrow you go to 'Good morning Sunday' there you should find that Mick has started the ball rolling by telling us the weather in Brackley. From then on lots of the usual Gransnetters tell us all what the weather is in their part of the country and perhaps what they are up to that day. Then it's up to you which Forum you continue with.

Finally a big WELCOME.

Welcome Holly, I wish I had introduced myself like you - I've always felt like a bit of an intruder and I seem to often kill a thread which makes me feel a bit unlikable! But I'm sure that is paranoia on my part. Enjoy a happy supportive time on Gransnet

I think I am the champion thread-killer, Rosannie! I suspect we all feel like it at times. blush

Rosannie Sat 15-Mar-14 22:13:21

Some gran just seem to be so good at this!

Rosannie Sat 15-Mar-14 22:14:20

Hiya Holly, welcome!

Rosannie - don't be worrying about it! Just keep posting away. smile I very rarely start off a thread, but do comment now and again.

In fact, I've just commented twice somehow....confused - how on earth did that happen?

HollyDaze Sun 16-Mar-14 12:19:23

Again, thank you all for your very kind welcomes smile

Thank you for the advice NanKate and I have posted how cold and grey it is here today lol

Roseannie and shysal - we all end up being the last one to post on a thread sometimes, it doesn't mean you've killed it off, it just means it has run its course.

shysal - you were the first to welcome me and you didn't kill this thread off so you can't be that good at thread killing wink

NanKate Sun 16-Mar-14 13:13:29

I love adding threads but I do feel on occasions I stir up a few arguments, which is not my intention.

Hello Holly, I'm fairly new to GN, so I know how you feel about joining in! The first thing you'll learn is that it's very friendly, the second thing is that you'll never have a tidy house/garden, get the washing done, get the cleaning done, have time for anything other than microwave meals etc, as GN is SO addictive - especially the 'Daft Games' wink. Welcome to the madhouse grin

rosequartz Sun 16-Mar-14 15:33:09

Welcome Holly, hope you enjoy GN.

I thought it was just me Roseannie - left thinking "was it something I said?"

kittylester Sun 16-Mar-14 16:54:59

I think we've all thought that at one [or more than one] time or another. grin

Rosannie Sun 16-Mar-14 20:16:20

I feel better hearing that others feel the same. Thankyou I agree Holly there are some kind and welcoming grans on here smile

HollyDaze Sun 16-Mar-14 20:29:36

Well MiniMouse, I may have experienced that today blush

MiniMouse Mon 17-Mar-14 10:32:49

wink It can only get worse, Holly grin
