Everyone seems so young on here these days.

Maybe it's time I shuffled off to Gransnet.

Maybe this is a rude question, but how old are you?

whippersnapper that I am

Sparklingbrook · 09/12/2013 22:32

There should be somewhere in between. Where we can discuss the 80s etc.

SueDoku · 09/12/2013 22:32

Someone has to keep them in order.... stick with me and we'll form a spinter group Smile Smile

I bet you're much younger than most of us! (Is there really a Gransnet? I''ve heard it mentioned several times but don't know if it's an idle threat!)

SPsWantsCliffInHerStocking · 09/12/2013 22:34

Fuck off SP

Annunziata · 09/12/2013 22:35

I thought I was heading for gransnet

I'd miss your posts, they're always sensible

MoreBeta · 09/12/2013 22:35

I'm 50 and I know what you mean.

DCs are at secondary. I look forward to snuggling down in bed with the electric blanket on and frankly I just can't bring myself to send a text messages without full grammatical rules, spelling and punctuation.

Mind you I tried Gransnet, after all I do have osteoporosis and have dodgy waterworks but they really really are old on there and it was no better. I think I might need to join a sort of MiddleAgeCrisisNet.

TalcAndTurnips · 09/12/2013 22:36

I have a lovely selection of tartan rugs you might like to spread over your knees?

I'm a bit oldish. SP's younger than my daughter. Xmas Sad

Salmotrutta · 09/12/2013 22:37

Are you wearing your slanket and big slipper usual?

Mustn't get cold now dearie...

Bettercallsaul1 · 09/12/2013 22:37

Also, you don't stop being a Mum just because your children have grown up - your mindset has altered permanently.

tethersend · 09/12/2013 22:37

Come on usual, don't be a fucking moron Grin

Actually, DO.
