To be a bit miffed that just when I decide to start actually posting a bit on Mumsnet instead of just lurking, it suddenly seems much quieter than it used to be.

[IDoEverything]

Is it me, or is it quieter than usual?

[blondehelen]

Don't take it personally. It was manic earlier, my convo kept falling off the bottom every couple of minutes. Everyone's probably exhausted

[thingamajig]

I think its quieter than usual, the same conversations have been in active convos for three nights, its normally much quicker.

[brimfull]

I have just come on tonight-so yes it must be quiet

[cornsilk]

It is very quiet at the moment.

[cornsilk]

Everyone's busy sewing on nametags.

[FrockHorror]

[piratecat]

[cornsilk]

All the teachers are being good and marking books. In a few weeks they'll be back on here all night swigging gin.

[TrinityRhino]

[differentID]

[Overmydeadbody]

Actually, isn't there tennis on or somthing?

[snice]

Sewing?
Iron-on nametags?

At Snice Towers we use the time honoured method of writing the child's name with a biro on the back of the washing instruction label. I am either very common or very lazy.

[differentID]

good point, going to check it. bbs

[cornsilk]

or even both?

[Overmydeadbody]

We have woven name tapes here dontchaknow

[IDoEverything]

Woah.... Full blown fisticuff on my thread??!

Didn't even think it was a particularly outrageous subject either.

[WilfSell]

yabu

pull yerself together, woman.

[FrockHorror]

lol @ biro name tags

[snice]

I have woven name tags too bought in a rush of PFB madness before the start of reception. I gave up on them half way through Yr1 when I realised no-one (i.e. other mummies) will ever know.

[differentID]

just trying to liven it up for you!

[cornsilk]

I embroider(sp) my chn's names onto their clothes. Name tags are for slatterns.

[FabioBadAssCat]

snice's children will think their full name is dc surname made in taiwan © Johnny Boden and his simpering crew

You can superglue nametapes on.
The glue goes a bit hard in the wash, so don't do somewhere rubby.
But tis glue all the way for blazer and coats and that.

[IDoEverything]

I too am miffed that after 2 years, no-one has ever known about my PINK WITH PICTURE OF A LITTLE FAIRY woven name tags.
