Well Paul what can I say you post quite a lot really don't you, well tonight you did, but I'll miss you when you are not here next week I'm sure the feeling is mutual LOL, good to see you as always. Val I am surprised it was only once you renewed but anyway its good to see you too hope you keep renewing:-) Len haven't got any to spare have you? I should think you do still have all your marbles from your posts and threads. Good to see you and thanks all Pat x

Hi Pat, What a lovely thread,and so nice to see the oldies so to speak, I dont come on the boards very much now,but I like to read the variety of the threads.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to EVERYONE. Love trish xxxxxx

Hi Pat, Long time no see, hope your feeling fine. Being as this is now officially the christmas season, (for us traditionalists) MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all. May the coming year be better than your past. Micheal.

Well Done Pat!!!! 3 Gold Stars for you!!! You aint gonna get as old as LEN responding!! No offence Hun!! How Ya doin Len????? Oh for the olden days???!! Karen

Good Evening All!!!! Am I an 'Oldie'?! What a good thread Pat - thank you. It is nice to see old 'faces'. Deb

Hi to everyone that has added since my last posting. Hi to you too Heather well you seem to have been a member since January 2004 so that's a little old now :-) good to see you thanks for posting & a hppy crimbo to you too :-) Gray think you are a middley but it don't matter what you are it's good to see you & I agree there are some good things on here and some good people too. Well you got me Midlands girl ? I don't know who you are I see you've been a member since January 2004 as well. Anyway again its good to see someone who doesn't post posting here. I'll pop back later to say hi to all the rest of the posters. Thank you all once again. Pat x

Hi Pat, Well you know I'm an oldie! Been here for about 3 years. Nice to see some names here that have't been around for a while. Of course you're all still remembered and hopefully you'll all keep posting, and that more oldies join in. Nice thread Pat Christine

Don't know what I'd be classed as. Just starting my second year on here. Don't add many messages myself, but l love reading other peoples' and I actually make a comment from time to time. There's something for everybody and all I can say is that most of the people I've 'met' on here are really friendly and helpful. All the best for the festive season everyone!

Hi again I see there are more since I left that is really heartening to see :-) Hiya Lynda yes I think there are only two people with such a low number. I contacted Genes last year to find out why my number was so high turns out I re-registered the first year rather than renewing I don't think my number was near as low as yours. I totally agree with you about the threads, I love to see a multitude of topics but I really enjoy serious discussions the most & contrary to people thinking they cause the most upset I have seen far more funny or humorous threads cause much worse. Hiya Trish yes you are an oldie it states you joined December 2003 I do hope New Year will bring you and others back on to the boards. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas. Greetings Cool Breeze Respect :-)One love an Inity wishing you a dread Christmas & a Natty New Year ;-))) Hiya Karen, Thanks for joining in, will you be here after 21st? If Not Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours. Thank you once again everyone Pat x

Hiya Everyone, Glad to see so many familiar names. Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all of you. Lindy ;)

Just read through Pat, fantastic turnout, well done for starting it. Ann Glos

Hi Pat, I've been following this with interest. Good to see so many names. Like you I reregistered when I paid to join and can't remember when exactly I first put tree on here. A thought - if older members (in terms of membership not years) are worried about posting how much harder must it be for newbies? Gwynne

a merry christmas to all of you i am an oldie realy in age and membership but have found you all a great help whenever i have put up a request for help in finding someone so thanks to you all and a very happy new year jean in s wales

Hiya Pat I think I'm an oldie (though I don't look it :) cos I joined in Jan? 2003 but I didn't post on the boards in this name for quite a while. Can't remember what life was like before GR now lol. But I think I post far too often now;)

Wow brilliant repsonse thanks to everyone that has popped in since last time :-) Deb you certainly are an oldie and I was just thinking the other day there doesn't seem so many Canadian, American Oz & Nz posters anymore :-( such a shame as that's one of the reasons the board was so busy during the night the time difference kept it so it was more a 24 hour site, its not so these days :-( Mandy LMHO naughty, people will think we treat all Yorkshire folk like that :-((( Hi Christine :-))) always a pleasure to see you of course, you have to start getting a little more busy on the boards you've been slacking off lately. More posts please lol. Hi Jean nice of you to pop in and thank you for the good wishes to June can only say I agree with that. Well done for all the hard work June. Thanks again Pat x

Hi Vanessa yes it's says you joined November 2003 what a shame you don't post yet you come and check the boards so often. Maybe you can make a New Years Resolution to participate. Swiss Maid middley maybe lol. thanks for popping in, I hope you will pop in on more threads again maybe you will join in more in the new year. Hi Gill, That was one of the reasons I put this thread up for that very reason. Many people who haven't been around very much felt exactly the same as you :-( All I can say is ladies you popped in on this thread and I am very glad you did, maybe you can pop in on the odd threads over the next little while & maybe make it a more regular thing as it does get more habit forming. :-))) Thank you to you all. Pat x

Hi Pat and everyone..... Just popping in to say hello.... HELLO !!!! Miss you lot loads!!!! Jacquie xxxxx

Looks like Pats done it again! Brill thread Pat me darlin. Your a good net m8 :-))) 1st,...I found my REAL birth father in Canada :-))) Then I found an adopted half sister,:-)))).... THEN I lost my Mum :-((((......... THEN an adopted nephew found us!. THEN I lost my sister :(((( Now I have a whole new family :-)))) This is all down to GR...Thankyou thankyou thankyou Gerri xxx

Hi all who have popped in :-))) Nice to see you Hi Lindy nice to see you someone mentioned you not too long ago said you hadn't been posting much lately :-( I am pleased you came in on this thread. Hi Ann thank you very much for that & for popping in here always good to see you. :-))) Hi Gwynne, nice to see you too, I agree & I find it worrying. Although another way of looking at it is oldies may have had things happen so they are afraid of it happening again where as newbies shouldn't feel so bad as they haven't that bad experience to remind them. Still I am hoping some people who haven't posted or haven't posted for a longtime will do so. Thanks again all Pat x

Jean thank you for joining in see you are a member since December 2003, I can't say I have seen you here, hopefully will see around the boards. Hiya David I do not believe you post too often but then I am biased, reckon the fanclub you have musted would also disagree :-))) Hi to another Jean :-) I agree with you as you probably guessed I think everyone should try and post even just a little and eventually it will be easier to post more often. Thank you for adding here and saying what you think. Pat x
