Hello, I thought it would be good to have a place where we could introduce ourselves, and find out where we are all based (in a very general way, please don't post addresses or phone numbers on the board).
I am based in the West End, and am mum of two kids, my daughter is 10yo and my son is 8yo. I am a freelance writer and blogger. I am the Local Editor of Mumsnet Dundee, so if you have any questions about Mumsnet, feel free to PM me (private message).
For those who are completely new to MN, I wanted to add some basic advice on Mumsnet and how to find your way around.
To begin with, here is the acronym list and the Frequently Asked Questions - do have a read through them to find your feet.
Mumsnet is a site for parents, and we do allow people to speak their minds, so if you ask a question you will get an honest answer - sometimes it might be too honest for you, especially if you post in Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU). Personal attacks are however not allowed, so if someone is mean to you, report it to MNHQ. (this is aimed at usage of the main site, not so much in Local, where I hope things will be more local based fun than bun fights!).
If you are new to Mumsnet, do have a look around but lurk on AIBU and chat till you find your feet and know what we are about.
Finally, I will say that although this may sound as if we are a scary bunch, we are also incredibly supportive. To get an idea of what we can achieve when we get together, check out the Woolly Hugs website, where MNetters show the blankets they have made for MNetters who have lost a child or a husband.
Find conversations happening in your area in our local chat rooms.

Hi, I'm in Carnoustie, with 3 DDs, and a DH who works away most of the week. It is blooming freezing here today, and I am thinking about putting the heating on. Need to toughen up I think. 
I also need to make a curtain for the upstairs hall and a new coat for the dog out of an old coat of ds's. Which is why I'm faffing about on the Internet

Oh, I'm not near Balgay Hill anymore but was brought there or thereabouts and spent a lot of my youth running up and down it during cross country and drinking sly bottles of Merrydown with my friends.
I am in Dundee though.
Evening is better for me as I work but could finish early and come and meet everyone lateish afternoon?
I'll just try and fit in with what's decided. Am really glad you replied, I thought I'd killed another thread.
