Welllll helloooooo and welcome to the world of MN.

Any questions just ask... oh apart from the one about a dictionary

FWIW I don't think we have a dictionary but some clever old sod will be along soon to let you know for certain.

SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore · 06/04/2009 23:07

Click on usefull stuff. There is a list of acronyms.

JaquelinehydeAllTheEggs · 06/04/2009 23:08

see told you so!

GumsNRoses · 06/04/2009 23:09

Hi and welcome, once in you will never leave, you have been warned

SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore · 06/04/2009 23:11

I'm not that clever. When I first joined there was a thead on racism in "Am I being unreasonable?" I though 'yabu' must be a term for a racist that I had never heard before

Ronaldinhio · 06/04/2009 23:13

maybe a different name?

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 06/04/2009 23:15

I'd change your name from single if I were you. There's all sorts of strange lovely people on here.

Welcome.

Tortoise · 06/04/2009 23:16

Hi welcome to MN.

Pan · 06/04/2009 23:16

Greetings to you. a.n.other male here. So who was your recommending friend may we ask? Just to join up the dots you understand....

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 06/04/2009 23:17

Hey Pan. It's scrooged How are you?

JaquelinehydeAllTheEggs · 06/04/2009 23:18

Oooh yes change your name NOWWWWWW!

Pan · 06/04/2009 23:18

Hello! Are you by perchance also avenanap, late of this parish?? I think you may be??

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 06/04/2009 23:21

How did you guess? I am shite at emailing. I'm so sorry. Work and stress takes over regularly. I've even been off here for a while. Aeida (sp?) is on at Derby at the end of April I think

callmeovercautious · 06/04/2009 23:22

Welcome and congratulations for hitting the top of active conversations usually it is blocked up with site stuff "pinned" to stay on top.

That is a great start alone.

So tell us about your DC....

I have one who is 2.5, I am good at potty training and BF advice (although I suspect you won't need the latter).

LastOrders · 06/04/2009 23:24

Hello. Welcome.

Our you going to be the Boa amidst the nest of Vipers?

Pan · 06/04/2009 23:27

No worries Fluffy! I was absent from here for a few weeks recently. Aida is one I haven't seen???

thumbbunny · 06/04/2009 23:29

welcome - agree about changing your name to not advertise your single status - you will be stalked!

Please check out this thread - it gives hints and tips of how to survive the vagaries of MN!

Quick version is: don't start anything in the Am I being Unreasonable topic unless you are fully prepared to fight your corner!

good luck

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 06/04/2009 23:29

Sorry for hogging the thread single.

I'll start a new one to chat to you Pan

DadInsteadofMum · 07/04/2009 15:25

So you posted in Dadsnet and with the exception of Pan only women replied. Welcome to the world of Mumsnet!

It is an incredibly useful resource, full of people always ready to give you the benefit of their sometimes blinkered opinion experience. And the dads sometimes get a word in edgeways as well.

Haven't found any kind of spell checker yet but using the Preview Message button gives you a chance to read your own message first.

Not sure why they are all keen for you to name change, nobody has stalked me yet, but good luck with that anyway.

And quite frankly I would steer well clear of AIBU, because generally everybody is.

HecAteTheEasterBunny · 07/04/2009 15:27

Hi and welcome.

dadinsteadofmum is right! stay away from AIBU.

TrillianEAstraEgg · 07/04/2009 15:33

Welcome.

I second/third the suggestion to change your name, we tend to be anonymous around here so keep the 'Dad' part in (or else people will assume you are a woman) but I would leave out the location and 'single'.

Habbibu · 07/04/2009 15:38

Use Firefox - it underlines things which it doesn't recognise. Including its own name, apparently.

And welcome to MN!

Trillian - nowt wrong with people assuming you're a lady...

They should assume I'm a lady.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 07/04/2009 15:44

welcome to MN!
and get onto the 'fit and interesting available men'thread on lone parents as your name sounds like an online dating one lol
us girls on there love the male pov!

HecAteTheEasterBunny · 07/04/2009 15:44

Nah, why keep the dad in? Take it out. It doesn't matter if you're a man or woman.
