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.

wink It can only get worse, Holly grin

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

Well MiniMouse, I may have experienced that today blush

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

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

Welcome Holly, hope you enjoy GN.

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

MiniMouse Sun 16-Mar-14 15:14:18

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

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

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

Marelli Sun 16-Mar-14 10:04:00

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

Marelli Sun 16-Mar-14 10:02:04

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.

Hiya Holly, welcome!

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

Should say grans !

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

Some gran just seem to be so good at this!

shysal Sat 15-Mar-14 21:54:57

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

Rosannie Sat 15-Mar-14 21:45:49

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

NanKate Sat 15-Mar-14 21:33:09

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.

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!

Marelli Sat 15-Mar-14 16:50:41

Hello HollyDaze - pleased to meet you! smile

Welcome from me too flowers

Have not had wifi for two days and it is amazing how cut off I've felt and how much has happened in my absence! Gransnet is definitely addictive. Hope you enjoy it Holly smile

Grandmanorm Sat 15-Mar-14 13:48:50
