A birthday present from us to you!

Do you know me Notso?!

Nannachrissy keep it sensible. Glass is the Head Girl.

Keep the entries coming GN'rs. We really need to lengthen the odds on *Glass* me getting her my hands on a full bottle of gin!

No I cant be Head girl I am too naughty, cant have any fun if your being good

Who's being good? Am I missing something?

Reading through this thread after a couple of busy days when I have hardly had time to glance at GN, I realise that not only have there been many wonderful moments but there also lots of others that I have missed!

To really keep up, I'd need to be sitting here with the laptop all day, leaving the family to starve, the garden to revert to jungle and letting the spiders festoon the house even more than they do anyway.

Life's too busy, and I thought I would have a lazy retirement

[shrug] it's what we all do anyway

I see jingl as a Joyce Grenfell look alike, all prim and proper but coming out with saucy quips and apt to burst into song. Love that one she sang about a galleon, " stately as a galleon she sailed across the floor, doing the Boston two step as in the days of yore "
jingl and I have been here through thick and thin, i'm thick and she is thin [grin ]

GN is entertaining, supportive and combative - sometimes all within one thread. One of my favourite moments was when I was really fed up in early Janurary and fluffy posted her idea of having a notebook and writing down all kinds of things she wanted to do from big - go on holiday - to small - a new dish to try to cook. At simple idea but when the gloomies hit it is hard to get up the energy to even think of anything to do and the book can sometimes just prod me in the right direction. Thanks fluffy.

Mrsjam please get your priorities right! Firstly GN, then after several hours you can flick a duster if you must why would you and eat if you wish, and maybe nip out occasionally.
Why should you be any different to the rest of us?

nanachrissy ...so, you flick a duster I wondered what it was that I should be doing and never quite down to doing. The duster cupboard hasn't been visited since ... Like you, I've betterer things to do than displace dust.

What's a duster cupboard? Where could it be?

[um] okay, it's just a wee box of old rags stuffed to the back of the underside of the kitchen sink. I'm not allowed to bend or stoop...hence it stays put

Ah, that's it. It's 7 years since my hip op, but I still don't want to risk bending and stooping that far.

annobel you cant rush things.

My favourite moment was just finding all the other gransnetters threads and realising that I was just as nutty/normal/mad as the rest of them )

My most entertaining moments last year were the contributions from so many fellow GNs on the organisation of a party,such thought and fun comments made it all seem alive, let's have many more please.

I've only just joined and am already enjoying the forums ... it's great to find other grandma's with the same questions I have!

glammanana, please explain. Are you saying you still have long hair? Or that you have kept the clippings? Sometimes Gransnet is totally beyond me. But I love it, and am so glad I joined.

I think mine is yet to come. I only joined a few days ago and was delighted to find posts on so many subjects of interest to me. Glass seems to keep poping up in support of everyone else so I hope she is getting any support she needs.

I look forward to getting to know you.

I couldn't pick a best bit. I just worry that I might miss something! The best part is the support that people rush to give anyone who needs it, oh and the silliness, oh and the spats, oh and the new babies, oh and everything really.

Good Luck for the future!

jack Sorry I have only just seen your post and your question,yes at the end of last year when you know how it is when xmas is looming and you are looking for that something special for over the holidays,well DD in her wisdom let it slip that she thought I was to old to keep my long hair (shock-horror) but I took it the wrong way and was pretty upset about it as I have always kept my hair in tip-top condition,so we had a discussion and I decided not to have it cut,so I kept it long (not cut off and kept)as I may have implied.So it is now much longer than it was and is middle of back,kept tidy by updo's/ ponytails /and plait.

Oh! I remember!

(took me a while )
