I'll tell you what we need: we need more categories, but we also need a "favourite categories/threads" thingy whereby we can keep track of things.

I can never find anything any more as I keep saying.

I have to say i agree with Coddy, i think there shouldn't be anymore new ones, it's too much.

Justine had her whip when I met her too.

WigWamBam · 04/11/2004 21:47

It's certainly getting a lot to trawl through.

OK Coddy. In my opinion it's also easier to keep away from the stuff that you know you have no interest in but that other people do want to discuss.

Better?

SenoraPostrophe · 04/11/2004 21:43

on the other hand, I have a pathological fear of the spriritual/thingy/whotsit topic and steer clear. maybe I'm missing some good threads?

I think it is brill having catagories it makes easier to find what you are interested in.

Otherwise other subjects and chat are too big.
IMHO

what a fox! surely you mean, coddy?

at your pic of justine.

no more categories either - too confusing and just means I have to spend even more time on MN...

Justine (mumsnet) · 04/11/2004 21:37

Zebra,
Me too - sometimes I waste whole afternoons doing that and still make very little dent - have to physically restrain myself...
but if you'd like to apply for the job of thread sorter outer, send us ya CV! (not much in the way of salary or perks though I'm afraid... well nothing actually )

jasper · 04/11/2004 21:36

I AGREE! (YES I'M SHOUTING)

MrsDoolittle · 04/11/2004 21:36

Now you see? About 15 people have posted since I started typing so noone knows what I am talking about.

Zebra, do you want to come and stay at my house and help sort out all the baby things? And the CD collection, work papers...you'd be in heaven!

jiggy · 04/11/2004 21:36

I like categories and codswallop I hope your original post wasn't prompted by the new multicultural families topic?
