What threads have you seen on here that have lodged themselves into your brain?

For me it's the lady who was gifted a periscope by her dh which was completely random and hilarious.

Also the lady who upset a crow and never came back! Assumed she and her dog were eaten by the crows.

I just remembered the one with the tickets for Chester Zoo. It was something about the nanny or perhaps another mum taking the children to Chester Zoo and the op didn’t believe her so asked to see the tickets. The nanny messaged her a drawing of two zoo tickets.

I remember that one as well, it was very amusing. Pity it was fake!

I think I remember it being a troll, but I also remember it being funny at the time.

That was a troll they also posted about a bad cake pinched some photos off a website. The original owner of the photos was a Mumsnetter and turned on the thread

I’ve been looking for the PurpleLampShades thread I’ve been following from the start does anyone know how she is doing?

FloofPaws · 01/09/2024 12:34

I remember the spooky ones

  1. A tented house, some sort of cupboard in the kitchen for coats I think that was t there after they moved out, and was t in the particulars when they looked back over them
  1. Evil presence in their house

😱😱

Recently there was one where a widow with young kids & a baby was reaching out for help on how to manage as she felt like she was just feeding them take-aways every night & not staying on top of anything. She posted a follow up last week & seems like she has got totally on top of everything & is feeling much better. She has stayed with me as I think she must be superwoman! ⭐️

The one that always sticks in my mind is nickelbabe and her live birth thread. I'd just had DS1 - he must have been 2 or 3 days old - and I just wanted to give her a hug and tell her things would be OK. I always think of her around DS's birthday, and wonder how her almost teenager is doing.

Thanks for the thread I've added a lot to my watch list, I remember a little boy who had a badge which was spooky

That was Birdy Friend.

I miss the Janet and Roy letters, does anyone still do them?

I remember the thread about what was the last straw that caused a break up.

One poster said she had arranged with her partner to go camping. She and her children travelled separately from him as I think he was working. During the night it poured with rain and tit was muddy and miserable. They decided to cut their losses and go home. In the pouring rain, he packed up all his stuff and left the OP to dismantle her tent and sort out the kids, etc. I was outraged on her behalf.

CaravaggiosCat · 31/08/2024 09:10

The one where the OPs husband was killed in a Paragliding accident and over time she discovered things about him that she didn't know. His accident was reported in the local papers.
The other one was where the OPs partner had passed away and she was caring for the partners elderly mum and she was torn about the living arrangement and being her carer. In the end the mum agreed to move to a home and there was a lot of mixed emotions.

The other one I randomly think about is the lady whose cat got stuck in the neighbor's house (they were renovating and were away). The lady tried all sorts to entice the cat out of the house, including calling the neighbors (couldn't reach them), calling their builder (it was a bank holiday), and lastly, shoving prawns/prawn heads through the gap in the window to keep the cat alive until the builders returned 😳

Balonz. Just bizarre

Little red toothbrush’s thread/s the courage it must have taken that day. I hope she is well and would love if some day she popped up to give us an update on how she is doing.

She posted above!

RussianDolls146 · 30/08/2024 22:03

There was one where a poster has received a Xmas card from Peter and Sheila which was addressed to Gaynor and Mike. She had contacted them to let them know they had moved away.

There were lots of speculation on why Gaynor and Mike didn't want to talk to Peter and Sheila anymore. There were several funny posts about it.

Arrivapercy · 30/08/2024 21:26

The one where the DH ate the fat balls that had been made for the birds, thinking they were a tasty homemade snack. Cried laughing at that one.

Yes!!

David and Caroline. He was an unbelievable predator on here. Lowest of the low.

Who? I don't remember that one.

Worryer · 30/08/2024 20:23

The one where people were talking about putting their toilet brush into the dishwasher to clean it 💀(out throwing out after 1 use)

I think of her often too, and wish her & DD well. And that her DH had a Damascene conversion and they're all NC with the witch.

Show quote history

He had a slow conversion and last that she posted that I saw, he was not quite no contact but he was being extremely careful with her (the witch, not Seo)

It was alarming to see the witch's effect and she did extraordinarily well to get her family safe from her.

Seoladair!!! Oh wow. I still think of her often. That was the first time I felt like I'd found 'friends' on mumsnet. Such a lovely supportive group of women. And hey @AcrossthePond55 lovely to see you ❤️🫶🏻

Seoladair if you are still around please dm me. I'd be so happy to hear from you.

Show quote history

Hello Lndnmummy!! Hope all is well with you and yours!

If you hear from Seo, if it's OK with her pm me. I promise not to 'share' nor to contact her directly.

DucklingSwimmingInstructress · 29/08/2024 20:55

Seoladair's threads, although I believe she's still here under a different name. @AcrossthePond55 oh how lovely to hear she might still be around. I think of her too, she was up against a terrible witch and fighting for her child and to lead her own life. She was amazing.
