jingl I am utterly and totally confused now. It doesn't take much. But you have made me laugh so much I just choked on my tea. So this is probably another of my favourite moments on gn 
No it wasn't him Nightowl! That was another thread. 
It was somebody called mysteryman. BUT IT WASN'T ME!!
jingle thats sorted then I would rather have cheese and onion crisps than choccies 
*I'd better have the choccies Glass. You don't want to go putting weight on do you?
Nightowl he was called Canalman. Made me think he lived on a houseboat! 
I remember that poem so well because we lost my lovely nephew a couple of months ago, and every poem or piece of prose I read had such poignant and significant messages for our family. Thanks again phoenix 
Phoenix,
not for the first time Faye
Mmmm a romantic, mystery man on a house boat might have been fun nightowl. Maybe you really missed the boat this time! 
Was mysteryman someone living on a houseboat??? I missed that. He must have sailed away then, the story of my life (sigh)
Sorry jingl I know you get the blame for everything but in this case at least it was a nice thing. Please accept my apologies and a large bunch of
Mmm Gin only thing jingle is I'll cry, what do you want if I win
I joined in May last year and I can honestly say I have never laughed and cried as much in my whole life.
The special times for me are when Grans announce the newest member of their family.
Long may we continue 
The highlight for me was getting a valentine's card for the first time in my life, from mysteryman who seems to have since disappeared into the ether! Ah well you can never rely on a man to stick around (still not convinced it wasn't jingl)
Other highlights: finding support when I need it, people to share my happiness with when good things happen, and laughing till the tears run down my cheeks at Greatnan and others' jokes.
I have found some kindred spirits, made good friends, and had some thought-provoking debates.
But overall the best bit for me is being able to sometimes forget I am a gran, or a mum, or a worker; but remember the girl I used to be and just have fun and be as silly as I like
Standing at the end of the lane
Not searching for a plane
I didn't make a fuss
Looking up for the Gransnet bus
I had to get a grip
That there was to be no trip
We had all been so gay
Planning our virtual holiday
It had been so much fun
Writing about what could be done
Travelling the world with some nutty grans
Planning where we could get the best tans
I felt sadness and sorrow
But hey there was always tomorrow
There would be more laughs you can bet
With the funny grans from Gransnet.
Like jeni my daughter told me that I would like this site and she was absolutely right! Hours of fun, support, friendship, the feeling of knowing that I'm not alone in my worries and fears. Here's to the next year and thanks a million GN
My daughter told me to try this site, of course I always obey her! And I am so glad I did. I have made such marvellous friends on here. You all cheer me up when I'm down. I've only to think of jing to end up rol
Ing on the floor, biting the carpet
I think the best bits have been the parties and don't forget the march! ( can anybody remember what we were marching for?)
And we mustn't forgetgreatnan's marvellous funny stories.
A very happy birthday and peace and goodwill to all.
Long may gransnet continue
The virtual parties are special ...in particular the Hallow'een one! When I got back home, on my broomstick ...one of Bagitha's cats had hidden in my cauldron!! It wasn't until the next party that I could return the dratted thing!!
