Who's still here, nearly 3 years on?

Me only about 2 yrs. When DD announced she was pregnant.

I joined July 2011 so just a couple of months down the line. I check in most days but don't often post especially if things are becoming heated!!

I joined originally in April 2011 just after my DGD was born. My daughter told me about it as she was on Mumsnet. I changed my name after a bit of 'nastiness' and only post occasionally now. I do look at it every day usually more than once. Still enjoy it.

May 2012, I log in everyday, but rarely post anymore.

Gransnet began on 5 May 2011. I joined in May that year and have posted as absentgrana or absent ever since.

How are you getting on with life "Over there" ? Absent , probably the best thing you ever did ,as you are now "En Famille"
:-)

I think I joined about May or June 2011 and looking for myself I seem to have posted about 1800 times!!! Can't find the earliest ones though and I will admit to a name change since those early days <mysterious smile>.

I've noticed that quite a few have said that they rarely post these days. Why is that, I wonder? In saying that, today I've posted more than I have in the last 6 months.

I am still here and with the same name which I brought with me from MN.

I couldnt wait for GN to start, I was waiting patiently over at Mumsnet waiting for the first day and won a fantastic prize down to London to the Jamie Oliver Feastiville, which funnily enough my DD won the same prize on MN so we had a great trip together.

Yes there are quite a few of original members still around, we had some great threads back then didnt we, and some fantastic meet ups.

I dont get chance to post very often these days and there are lots of new members that I have not had chance to get to know yet but plenty of time.

I joined in May 2011 from Mumsnet . I used Mumsnet to find out how to look after babies when DD had her first child and I hadn't a clue how to answer her queries. Now it's for help in being a MIL and a gran. Sometimes I go back to Mumsnet to see what I'm missing. Too many FFS.

I did join Mumsnet, though this was after joining Gransnet, and I just couldn't get into the way of it. I recommended it to DD though, when she was having difficulties with teenage DGD.

I joined in May 2011, my first grandchild having been born in the April.
Same username, and not someone who has ever posted prolifically!
I've been the local editor for 2 areas for 15 months now and I do check in to the main forum every day.

Since joining GN, DD2 has produced another daughter, and DD3 is in labour right now(!!!) - and has been for 3 days! - with daughter #1. DD2 is her doula, which given the long labour has been tough on her family. Nanna-duties much in demand right now!

Hope you hear news of your next DGD very soon, then NannaAnna - you must all be exhausted!

Oh - I've just typed DGD, Nanna! I meant to type DGC.... - sorry!

DGD just fine Marelli as we know it is a girl
I will have 3 daughters and 3 grand-daughters!! Putting in an order now for the next one to be a boy. It's only fair .

!

I've been here since May 2011 and although I pop in and read a few threads each day, I don't post very much. I still have my original name.

Thanks absent, I was a bit mixed up with my dates. Must have been May 2011 I joined.

jinglebellsfrocks, I love your nickname can I ask how you picked it or is it secret, mine is cos I hate silverfish with a passion but I love old books.

I joined in 2011 cant just rem what month...wow!! 3 yrs!!

I joined in May 2011 after reading an article about the launch of GN in "The Telegraph"; at that time I had an GS who had been born in February 2011. Now I also have GD1 who was born in June 2012, GD2 who arrived in May 2013, and GC no. 4 who will be with us at the beginning of August! And that's probably why I don't find time to post much, although I look in most days.

I've been here since Summer 2011 and post occasionally, usually about books. I have been very fortunate and been sent some really good books from Gransnet, and like to post a review or question.
Now expecting an eighth GC in June.
Regularly mind 3 GC and used to look at MsNet for a bit of advice. Really don't like the unnecessary bad language on their site.

I joined in May 2011 too when my first GS was born. I pop in every day and post sometimes but I find it all goes to fast for me. If I spot a thread that interests me I will read through but some threads have hundreds of posts and time is too short!

I joined in the first week and I've name changed twice from NanaChrissy and Ella46.
I look in every day but don't post a lot really.
