Go Riven! For making every national newspaper with her quotes to David Cameron, and putting the 4-nappy issue high up the political agenda! I used to be in PR , and you would pay a lot of agency fees to get that kind of coverage for an issue! Surely now they will have to take notice!

We could all chain our 4 (or 3 or whatever) nappies to the Houses of Parliament and slope across the road to the pub.

I've been too busy (with RL) to get on to MN much these past few weeks and I was reading the paper in the library today and there you were! Was v impressed! Maybe, just maybe Sn provision, or rather the lack of it, is starting to be heard.

Well done Riven! Thank for raising the issues that need addressed!

Queen Riven ? Can we all attend virtual coronation - I am sure Queens are above Tsarinas.

Well done Riv

(though just had my hair done so ain't chaining myself to anything in the wet for nowt LOL)

I'm a Tsarina AND I got called a MN Queen once so I still get to tell Riven what to do wink

(which would be, go eat cake and feel proud, girl)

Tsarinas are in charge of Mumsnet local. I think I am a Tsarina but blatantly crap at it.
