Thanks again for your welcomes. I'm so glad I took the plunge! Got to go now (just finished work). Hope to chat tomorrow. Have a great night!! Katexx

Hello Kate, Welcome aboard!, shall look out for you! :-)

Thanks Katz, Hope I will persevere too. Good to meet you! Katexx

well you don't know me Paul )postie). I ignored you. at your request. lol

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I feel a lot more at ease now I know I wasn't the only one who felt that way. In fact Paul (Chunkey Monkey) I might just take you up on that dare! I did read your thread Postie Paul and thought it was a great way of introducing yourself! Katexx

Very nervous, still am, but will persevere!! Nice to meet you. Kxx

I'd done it lots of times before i did it here, so wasn't bothered at all. As for us all being friendly... well ignoring todays sudden outbreak of niggles, on the whole we're a lovely bunch. Well, most of us. Not me, I'm 'orrible lol Go on, join in more.. dare ya. Paul

Yes I felt awful and waited to see if I would get any replies. I was amazed when someone actually answered me. Then there are the occassions when you answer a thread only to find that it has moved on with other peoples comments and your answer is miles behind everyone else and you feel a right dingbat. Sometimes you can feel invisible too as no one takes up your point,but I like the good natured give and take. Good Luck-Glad you joined us -Go For it Rose

I was very nervous the first time I put on or added to a thread because I am a very shy person, my daughter cant belive how I have changed since joining genes but I am still too nervous to go to get togethers. jenny x

kate the first time i posted a thread i upset half the board by accusing them of being bored housewives!!! soon learnt my lesson though! you'll enjoy it! x

I hung around the records board for a while, then decided to make myself known using one of my first threads, by asking if I was the youngest one here. I think everyone got to know of me after that. :-)

Wow!! Didn't expect all these replies already. Thanks so much. Christina, that's exactly how I felt! Glad it worked Craig! Hello to you all and thanks for your welcome and making it feel easier for me. Katex

Hi kate welcome to the board Have fun Elaine x

Hi Kate its ok after the first time happy hunting sandra

Hello Kate from Brum! I was apprehensive to see how people would react to a 'younger' member on the boards... so far so good, i have adopted several grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, big sisters, big brothers etc! Only problem is buying all the b***** christmas presents for them! becx P.S. ignore all the threads of people arguing!

Kate Took me ages to actually posts I used to just read the boards Still in the end i just went for it and ofcourse in time it gets easier to post stuff. I at one stage became paronoid that I was the thread killer and actually started my first thread on the General board about this subject and ended up with pages of funny replies that was a great help to me, as I did not end up killing the thread myself LOL. You have made your first move. Pat x

I don't particularly get nervous, but I did wonder how it'd go down. Good way to enter though, it caught my eye!

god thought that was a personal question.but my answer was apprehensive.didn't know what the members would think of me.well what do you think of me.?xxxx(:

Hi Kate! I'm a newbie too and also a little scared by the threads! You've been very brave!!! xx

was nervous - but worth it hi Kate
