To wonder what happened to these old Mumsnetters?

There was Kewcumber who adopted from abroad as a single lady, there was a mum who always talked about her son Wilf, and there was a very direct, blunt and often right woman who I think wrote with no punctuation, who seemed to be on every thread and gave me lots of harsh truths! Going back a good decade now…

Anyone know what happened to them? Anyone else you wonder about?

Is Xenia still around? She's from my local area I think judging by the schools she always talks about. I wonder if I've met her IRL

Yes she’s still here and posting every few days recently.

I remember most of these names under my previous guises. Izzyizin game me wonderful support when I found out my partner was leading a double life. She was brilliant ❤️

I made friends with and met up with a fantastic group of women on the recurrent miscarriage boards… At least twenty of us and every one of us went on to have at least one child :)

Firesgoneout · 02/04/2025 23:23

Placemarking to see if anyone mentions my name.

I always thought Worra was just plain mean. Always seemed to be having a go at OP's.

There! I said it!

I agree, I was on the end of a particularly vicious take down one day. Completely uncalled for as I dared to disagree and as she was a household name I was ganged up on. Mean.

So did I. Found her really unpleasant actually.

I've skimmed through the thread and surprised at how many old names I recognised! Was quite nice really! I'm happy being more anonymous though personally.

Some Mumsnetters from back in the 2000s are sadly dead now too:

Janh
Comeoveneer
LapsedGymJunkie (LGJ)
Carmenere

I remember some of these posters, fondly

Hunkermunker
Aloha
Enid
countessdracula
Harpsicordcarrier
Essbee
Edam
Lapin
Slur
Marslady
SueDonim
Tigermoth
Scummymummy
Expatinscotland
Bozza
Tinker
Morningpaper
Kate&thegirls

I also remember odd things about them! It was small then so you tended to remember anyone with the same no of kids, same politics etc.

Was it eatshitderek that found out she was pregnant really late - like 30+ weeks? I kept thinking it was AnyFucker but it was definitely someone with a swear word in their name that was a regular poster?

@LindorDoubleChoc - why on earth was Maryz banned? Her posts on the challenges of teens werE so helpful.

as for @kewcumber - I met her in real life a few times. An amazing lady. Her son must be about 21 or 22. After being single for a while, she was v loved up the last time I read something she had posted. She had done an amazing job in raising her son. There were some amazing posters on the adoption board - Lillka, 2old2beamum, lots of wonderful people.

Lovely young widow with children who eventually remarried a nice chap and had another child. I loved following her story because she was so good natured and could be very humourous

Somerville? Another one I still think about at times.

Turmerictolly · 02/04/2025 23:12

Wilf not wolf.

Turmerictolly · 02/04/2025 23:12

Wolf is still on. He posted a few weeks ago as he met Chris McCausland — he put some pictures up.

Anyone remember Pinot’s kittens?

ExitViaGiftShop · 02/04/2025 21:49

I remember SpringyDaffs always gave insightful advice

I wonder about her as well. She could be caustic but did give very good advice and I hope she beat her cancer and is living her best life.

Cottesloe · 02/04/2025 23:11

Defiantly41 · 02/04/2025 20:49

Anyfucker?

She's about still. I love her direct no nonsense chat. She's always correct too!

Weepixie · 02/04/2025 23:08

I think she’s a Dentist but only because of a very detailed reply on thread once.

Show quote history

I’m pretty sure she’s a nurse. I remember her posting about how traumatised she was after her shifts in the thick of Covid Sad

I was interested in ChopinandChampagne’s threads about her daughter and son-in-law.

There was also a poster who had a new baby and acted like he was the messiah. Her name was something like Felicity/Felicia I think.

Was her son in law the Lobster boy? (or something similar)
I really felt for her, it was a tremendously difficult situation.

LindorDoubleChoc · 02/04/2025 23:07

I think about a few of the old posters from time to time, especially if I come across their names on an old thread. I still miss Maryz - it was so awful that she was banned. Such a great poster.

LunaNorth · 02/04/2025 23:06

I never get remembered here, either, and I was here for the Gina Ford debacle.

I’ve had threads in Classics and all sorts <stamps foot>

Wonder what happened to morningpaper? I liked her.

Nutmuncher · 02/04/2025 23:05

Twitterqueen was a poignant poster some may remember who ran a diary of her cancer battle. My mum was going through it at the same time and her posts gave me a lot of comfort.

Ketzele · 02/04/2025 23:03

I've been here since near the start (with breaks) and have never, ever been remembered for my sparkling repartee!
Still, I'm impressed by the memories on here - I can't even remember my own name from those days, let alone recall others.

Roussette ..an M and H supporter,she went very quiet ages ago .

The Meghan haters were disgusting to that poster. I’m not surprised if she left.

blippityblop5 · 02/04/2025 21:27

I’ve never paid attention to any usernames on here.. is that only me?

Yes.

Eatshitderek. I’m friends with her on fb

So am I!
