Hello all - and many happy returns to MNers everywhere.

To mark the auspicious occasion, we've been taking a misty-eyed trip down memory lane. Come and have a look at the threads of Mumsnet legend, the things we'd never have learned without Mumsnet, and the pictures that still make us snigger - and do share your best Mumsnet memories here, we'd love to hear 'em.

I may have a little something in my eye after reading that.

BOFster · 11/03/2015 14:35

Have you seen today's guest post?. Fair brought a tear to my eye, it did.

Oh and happy birthday mumsnet

improbablesaint · 11/03/2015 14:31

i wandered in looking for help on Night sweats, post natally. I never found out what caused them but I did donate mumboots, nice ham, twigs and pebbly shit and the long forgotten baby pasta threads, the jeans and a nice top thing, and I rumbled GF on that first thread and helped de flounce Judge FLounce.
TOO LONG ON HERE! :)

Happy birthday Quenelle Flowers

Happy birthday you lot up at HQ as well. My house is a dustbucket and my child goes out unwashed, and it's all your fault. Grin

Happy Birthday Mumsnet! You've kept me sane, provided me with laughs, friends and even helped me get a job - I would be lost without this place, thank you multiplied by about a million or so.

Happy Birthday Mumsnet! So glad you were born. You have immeasurably enhanced my life since I discovered you! (Many happy hours usefully spent, giggling helplessly at so much ....!)

Hope you are having a wonderful and memorable party day today!! XXXXXXXX to you all Flowers

Many happy returns of the day.

Happy Birthday Mumsnet!

I wandered in via a link from Housepricecrash and never went back. I've found great help and support here over the years, most of all with a school appeal.

It's great to see that the Sinister Easter Bonnet made it to the highlights. That was the best thread ever!

jessicapearson · 11/03/2015 13:40

Happy Birthday Mumsnet (and to me too - wish I was 15 again tho!)

Thank you for keeping me sane and in touch with witty, intelligent and most of all funny women whilst living away from the UK in 4 countries and raising my dc.

BIWI · 11/03/2015 13:33

Happy birthday. I'm looking forward to sharing actual Champagne with you all later!

Happy birthday mumsnet Cake

I lurked for months before finally deciding to ttc baby number 3 in 2012, joined in the ttc bus threads and have been here ever since.

You've seen me through m/c, birth, bereavement, spiritual support, and loads of laughs.

Makes being a stay at home mum a lot less lonely on the tougher days Smile

Here's to the next 15 years Wine

Happy Birthday MN!

Almost 7 years for me (how?!) still love it.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 11/03/2015 13:14

Happy birthday HQ!

Let the celebrations be gin!

BOFster · 11/03/2015 13:08

Amazing how time flies when you're having fun...and sharing advice, and getting support, and being unreasonable. Happy Birthday!

iklboo · 11/03/2015 13:05

Happy Birthday MN. Thanks for 10 years of, well, everything!

MNHQ - say hi to Zombie for me Wink.

VeganCow · 11/03/2015 13:03

Happy Birthday MN, I dont think a day has gone by in 13 years that I haven't popped in.

zipzap · 11/03/2015 12:56

Happy birthday MN! And here's WineCakeFlowersWine to the next 15 years of your existence (and beyond of course!) - may you continue to go from strength to strength and keep us all strong with your advice, support and laughs as you do it!

It feels like we should have a Grin with the dog's birthday hat on to celebrate along with you!

And Coppertop -if you're anything like me - then much of the last 12 years might well have disappeared into the abyss of MN - you think you'll just read a thread and then a moment or two later, realise the day has gone, the house is exactly the same and it's time to do the school pick-up... Grin

Wonder how many womanhours have been lost usefully engaged in reading Mumsnet over the last 15 years?
