Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Fair point LG, but it might not go down well with your kids.

That’s why it’s the ‘best club’ - put them back with none of the responsibilities lol

I wont be a grandfather before I turn 53. My son and his girlfriend have no plans to have children. My daughter has still to reveal a serious boyfriend. Might never be a grandparent

I was 68 before I became a grandma. And when I was 50. my youngest child was only 5.

Always was a late starter.

Started running at 58.

Just to cheer people up, today was my middle grandson’s 21st birthday. He lives in Glasgow 13 miles away, and we had a video chat with his parents only a mile away from me, his brother in South Korea and his sister in London, who had arranged for a birthday cake to be delivered while on the call. So near and so far but great to speak to them all.

I became a Nana at the grand old age of 40 and now have 4 grandsons ranging from almost 13, 3, 2 this month and 4 months old and a granddaughter (who we sadly haven't seen for 2 years). Am missing them so much as we all are.

Am like LG - they get away with more than my kids did, and the mess doesnt bother me as it is just toys etc and is soon tidied up. Cant wait to have my house covered in wooden train tracks again 😁

I’m 52 and not a Grandfather. In fact I’ve not yet got a son/daughter in law.

Just realised there is an assumption in that sentence that may make me seem old fashioned. Sod it, I am old fashioned.
