Mumsnet Talk

This is just a reference thread to remind each other of who we are so we don't get each other mixed up and makes it easier for new people to make sense of us!

Put whatever details you are comfortable with that you think will help people to remember you (no life histories required!)

I'm estar, I'm 30 and live in Lancashire and am a SAHM but also leading a church with DH.

DS1 - 7
DTs (boys) - nearly 6
DS4 - 1 and 10 months.
DC5 - due in March!

D'y ever wondering since 2006.

Hi , I'm Zippy's Mum. I live in Cornwall.
Been MN ing since I had to take to the sofa 6 weeks ago.
Expecting twins (don't know the sexes) on or before 23rd September!

I live in a beautiful seaside region called Bolton in Lancashire

Im 52 and have been married for 32 years.

Twin sons (aged 27)
DS3 (aged 25)
DS4 (aged 12)
Dgrandson (aged 14 months)

Have always got 'Shirley Valentine' syndrome

its not really a seaside resort and its not beautiful <<snigger>> Sorry estar - childish behaviour once again

I'm bagpuss, 35 and live in Cheshire. Have been a SAHM for 9 years and married for 13 years.

DS1 - nearly 9
DD - 7
DS2 - 4

DTs (Boy/Girl) due 24/11

MNing on and off for 5 1/2 years .

hi, im lucya, im 29 and a nurse ( although will soon be a SAHM

DS1 21months
i am 32+2 weeks with b/g twins. I am not carrying big for twins, but now its 32+ housebound is becoming more of an issue!

reasonably new to MN!!

Hiya,
Just adding myself to the list. I live in Mid Devon, although mostly loiter around Exeter when I get chance and was a born and bred Londoner until year and half ago when I plucked Devon off a map and we moved.

I have:
DS1 - 6
DD1 - 5 (almost)
DTs - 2.8 (b/g)
DS3 - 1.4

I'm studying for a psych degree with the OU, just finished my first year, only a zillion to go.

Found the D'y threads when feaking out pg with dts although lurking on MN from a few years before. Love, love, love having a big family and the moments each day when they're all getting along.

I'm 33(just) but haven't really celebrated my birthday for 4 years (too pg/bfing/poor) so am in denial about my age .

I'm Mars.

I just completed my OU Eng Lit degree 2:1

I have 5 DC

DS1: 16
DD1: 14
DD2: 11 (today)
DT1/DD3: 5
DT2/DS2: 5

I'm a Doula, I live in N London. I've been a D' y' ever-er since the beginning when darling FG started it.

This feels like an AA meeting, not that I've ever been to one

I'm dizzy, 35, from Lyndhurst. Mum to ds 20 months and 17+6 with twin girls.

H left me 15 weeks ago, so I am a single mum I guess

I'm curiosity, 25 from a truly beautiful seaside resort <<shabs >> called Southport.

I have two DCs from a previous abusive relationship:

DS - 4, just starting school born in hospital after a long labour and a transfer from MLU
DD - 2.11 born at home - amazing experience.

I was a single mum all through second pg and had a very tough time with the DCs dad, but very happily got married in February to a really wonderful DH! who I don't deserve

Found out 5 days before the wedding that I was pg and was then shocked to find out it was twins - absolutely no history of twins in the family. This is when I discovered MN, it has been one of the only things that's helped with my various 'twin panics'!

I'm 30+3 with boy/girl twins due on 3rd November.

Sorry it's long, just thought I'd better put everything that might be relevant! I have a big northern gob

Curiosity Im liking you more and more with every message

Awwwwww you are 25???? A baby!! My DS3 is 35 and my twin boys are 27 (one of my twins and my DS3 are no longer here physically but are eternally with me emotionally)

I think I am slightly pissed drunk....just wanted to say that the multiples thread ladies know my story but have never made me feel like I shouldn't be here - they are wonderful xxxxx

<<does a tipsy conga across the screen>> <<birdy dances around the living room>>

PMSL my DS3 is 25 like you!!! Not 35 - oh Im going to bed xx

Haven't quite worked out how the 'Do you ever...' threads work, but wanting to join in!

Hello all!

I'm PBH, living in south wales.
Have dd1 whose 4 (and I think has chicken pox...)

id girls, will be 9 months on wednesday (OMG, where did the time go!!)

Will definitely make the effort with this as I have managed to get in at the beginning of the thread as opposed to when its up to 500 posts or more!!
MN since last july (funnily enough when I found out it was twins..)

I am technically on the last day of maternity leave today , but have handed in notice as can not afford to go back to previous job.

So now looking for horrendous twilight shifts to get some money into the house!

HiLondon Lottie
