I can say hand on heart my life would have taken a different path if I had had mn for advice years ago.
I have had great support for a terrible subject in recent years... Under a different name obviously.. Very grateful for that..
Long may mn live!!

The blow for blow 🤭 account of the sex hedge is hilarious. We need an update

MrsTerryPratchett · 27/03/2025 13:09

Is ‘Pom Bear anyone?’ On there? I was in tears.

HappyPerson258 · 27/03/2025 13:08

Some of my favourite threads in there 🤣

MarinersApartmentComplex · 27/03/2025 13:06

I got five right 😫poor show.

Happy birthday Mumsnet. 🎂 I always remember laughing at the 'your minge' thread. I think it's gone now but from what I recall the OP forgot her bottoms at the swimming baths and her DH was mouthing YOUR MINGE, YOUR MINGE' from across the pool.

Oh and wasn't there one where the OP went on a date and everyone watched him arrive on a live stream? Or did I dream that?

Ah I loved ice creams from shrews! I always thought it was such a nice, thoughtful thing to want to do for your cat 😍
