Morning all
I only discovered this site on the bus home from work last night. So nice to see something for the grandparents for a change!
I work full time but love to read and knit too
I'm hoping this site will help give me the kick i need to start dealing with the things life throws at you after 50, mainly the gradual but oh so scarey weight gain! Inside I am young, slim fun loving. On the outside I've even surpassed my mother and become my Nan!!!
So here's to the inspiration, support and encouragement I am sure I will get from all you lovely members
Have a great Tuesday everyone. Hope the sun is shining where you are xx

Welcome, justnanny62! You'll get a lot of fun, inspiration, empathy and food for thought on Gransnet! Beware though - it's addictive!

Hi Justnanny, welcome aboard! I have only been on here for a couple of weeks, but I feel so at home with the place already. I feel like I have been around for ages!
Hope you enjoy yourself xx

Hi. Welcome! I've only been on here a month and find the site really interesting too. I'm hoping it will help with my planned weight reduction but judging by some of the recipes I've seen so far, I doubt it will. ?

Welcome Justnanny, and also to Lisalou and fiorentina. flowersflowersflowers. I joined in 2011and can't recall a single day when I didn't pop in to GN. I hope you will enjoy it too.

A warm welcome to justnannny and other newbies.
Be warned it's addictive grin
FYI there is a big thread for new members that you might like to take a squint at. If you go to "active" it's at the top.

Welcome justnanny. If you want a site that is always warm and welcoming, go to soop's kitchen. There is never a cross word said there. I am not saying that we are always in agreement but we never snarl - I enjoy it there. As others have said, it is addictive and if you have a full time job you will be doing little else!!!!! flowers
