Just to say I've taken the plunge and signed up, and thought I'd say hello ?
I've enjoy reading the posts/threads so far, and already see lots of similarities.
I must confess though to feeling way too young to be a Nanny? . However, as my pension is disappearing off into the distance, I feel ok in saying that!

Just to say welcome Abuelananny and I hope you enjoy posting and chatting with us all x

Abuelananny Sat 22-Sept-18 19:36:52

Thank you BlueBelle, I'll probably sit in the back row until I gain confidence-or have a glass of wine and leap in! (wink)

Welcome, Abuelananny! Don't be afraid to post. Start with something non controversial like the "Good morning" thread or the games, (unless you hate the games threads, as some do.grin)

Abuelananny Sat 22-Sept-18 19:56:15

Thank you Marydoll. In reading through posts, I've seen that as well as giving sound advice, you also have a wicked sense of humour and a sharp wit - I'm sure I'll enjoy being here ?

Abuelananny Sun 23-Sept-18 22:24:52

Thank you Maple leaf and MissAdventure for the welcome ☺I'm ploughing through forums and threads, and I'm so pleased to have found Gransnet!?

Hello Abuelananny, and welcome, lovely to see a friendly new face! smile

Abuelananny Sun 23-Sept-18 22:30:08

Hi Izabella thanks-I think it will be a bit like riding a bike-nervous to start with, then later on I won't want to get off! ?

Abuelananny Sun 23-Sept-18 22:32:16

Aww, thank you Chewbacca ?

Hello Abuelananny welcome to GN you will soon find a thread to comment on I'm sure. It's interesting dipping in and out during the day to see what everyone is up to.
Good luck.

Welcome from me too smile it's always nice to see new folks appear.

I was 43 when my first granddaughter was born and 62 when my last grandson arrived so I seem to have been a nana for a long time!!

You will find good advice and plenty of laughs.

Hello and thank you NannyJan53, sodapop, Willow500 and harrigran. I'm spending too much time already on here-the forums are so varied-one minute I'm stifling giggles, the next welling up. I know I've found somewhere comfy to be, amongst some lovely people smile
