Former Yellow Wiggle Sam Moran and Blue Wiggle Anthony Field have both replied to my tweets. Former Yellow Wiggle Greg Page has replied and is following me!

Peter Serafinowizc answered my question which then got retweeted by graham lineham (father ted writer).

Tim burguess the loveliest man on twitter replied to me. I think he responds to everyone tho as he such a sweetie.

Richard Madeley
Simon Hickson (Trev and Simon)
Miles Hunt (Wonderstuff)
Dave Gorman
Peter Egan

I'm followed by Matt Goss and Peter Serafinowizc. One of my daughters is followed by the beiber and has been tweeted by Sir Ian Mckellen.

Phil Davies from Whitechapel! It was about the DVDs of Wc not being subtitled for the deaf!

Courtney Love RT'd me, which was the highlight of my mat leave tweeting phase. DD is named after one of her songs, but that wan't what the tweet was about. And Sharon Horgan said one of my tweets made her laugh. Hopefully in a good way.

Actually I love twitter for finding like-minded others (especially in the little AAC world) - but water down my feed with the celeb stuff, have a real mix of very serious & completely shallow on my feed. But it is such a time waster ( I work from home on the computer - twitter can suck up time!)

EL James after I commented how 50shades had boosted my hubbys sex life (for a week lol)

saintlyjimjams Fri 22-Feb-13 07:50:56

I'm followed by Sally Bercow grin and Victoria Coren

Have been retweeted by the lovely Ben Fogle & Eoin Macken
(being RTed the best way to get lots of people to see whatever link/idea it is you're trying to promote imo)

Had replies & favourites from India Knight.

And Bradley James favourited a post - but unfavourited it after I sent a jokey reply - I think he misunderstood & thought I was annoyed with him for favouriting it. Actually that was another good way to get lots of people looking as well.

So ime, best way to promote an idea is get a pretty knight of Camelot in board - then shut up & don't try and extend the joke grin

Oh yes! I forgot about clint Boon. Had a discussion with him about breast feeding. My 14 year old self would have been very weirded out.

VivaLeBeaver Fri 22-Feb-13 07:12:52

Ant and Dec replied to a tweet of mine and I hadn't even tweeted them.....can't remember who I had tweeted but they saw it and replied!

Seems like I was right about some slebs on Twitter being block happy. I think some are very thin-skinned and take it all very seriously.

I aso got a reply from Jennifer Ehle one time. She had a break for about a year and rejoined last month. She's one of the good ones, like Tracey Thorn, down to earth and doesn't get involved in any of the sniping.

As others have too, I'd also like to point out that I too am followed by a few (mildly) famous slebs, one I know personally. I wish they wouldn't RT from talentless bitches I can't stand though...

Jenny Eclaire and I had an exchange of tweets about her real fur coat. Lots of people joined in (against fur, same as me)

I had a numerous exchange with Carol McGiffen.

I am followed by a famous person.

FellatioNels0n Thu 21-Feb-13 17:54:11

Caitlin. Also India Knight on Twitter, and Dawn French and John Humphrys on MN live chats.

chimchar Thu 21-Feb-13 17:52:57

Oooh.

Have had convos (very small ones wink) with a few people....all have been very nice.

Beth Simpson (mrs rufus hound)
Jason Bradbury from gadget show (he follows dh now grin)
Greg Wallace
Sarah Millican
Pritchard from dirty Sanchez
Shane spall (author and mrs Timothy spall)

I don't have many followers, but I love interacting with people on twitter and although it may be sad to admit, I get all excited if I get a re tweet or someone favourites something I've said!

I love twitter.
