Everyone seems so young on here these days.

Maybe it's time I shuffled off to Gransnet.

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!)

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.

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

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