If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

Thanks Pol. It's certainly been a day of magical fun and unexpected Christmas surprises [tired grin]

NotanOtter · 23/12/2008 23:15

cant wrap a tangerine

lou33 · 23/12/2008 23:14

i cheated on the stocking front this year and bought ready filled ones from hawkins bazaar

NotanOtter · 23/12/2008 23:14

we differ MP!

dontcallmehon · 23/12/2008 23:14

Ok, but tis hard to join in in the middle of a conversation.

holidaywonk · 23/12/2008 23:14

I've just wrapped all the stocking presents. Taking care to remove all 'Made in China' labels, because DS1 found one last year and has been puzzled about Father Christmas's import/export policy ever since.

NotanOtter · 23/12/2008 23:14

wrapping stocking gifts is a wrap too far

morningpaper · 23/12/2008 23:14

WTF is a moldie?

I fear this post may have tipped me over the edge

Yes, wrap the stocking presents you slut. UNWRAPPED and you may as well just leave them in the carrier bag

PeachyBidsYouNadoligLlawen · 23/12/2008 23:13

lol courgette/boy love axis.
I should probably start wrapping the stocking presents.
Does anyone else wrap stockingpresents? my mother used to shove them in a (maybe clean) pair of tights with the price tag still on them.
I'm reacting, i think.

dontcallmehon - think we are trying to move on TBH. Join in the chat it is more interesting than the other stuff.

lou33 · 23/12/2008 23:10

i need a cleaner

and a diy person

i am running out of people i can persuade to do things for me

i would offer to be your wife mp, but i'm shit at it

dontcallmehon · 23/12/2008 23:10

Ok, my view is that I am glad that the Moldies have created their own forum, because I think that the newbies can now feel free to post without fear of their opinions being disregarded, as some mumsnetters are clearly more equal than others.

morningpaper · 23/12/2008 23:10

gilding courgettes is surely a euphemism for some sort of boy love

holidaywonk · 23/12/2008 23:10

LOL at shitting presents and gilding courgettes. I think we are all a little over-tired.

Sorry to hear about your day and about DD, OBM. How rubbish.

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 23/12/2008 23:09

d'you know Quattro, I'm ashamed to say that gilding courgettes is precisely the kind of insane pretentiousness that I would have been guilty of in my early twenties. I vividly recall tying cinnamon sticks (a rarity in 1989) and pine cones together with gold thread, to create an enchanting Christmas tableau.

EffiePerine · 23/12/2008 23:09

As chilled as I can be - baby due in a week (eek!) hence aversion to crowded supermarkets . But all is done AND we have a cast-iron excuse to avoid anything elaborate for Xmas anyway...

Hulababy · 23/12/2008 23:08

Twinse - yes, that appears t be the one.

morningpaper · 23/12/2008 23:08

CAN SOMEBODY SEND ME A WIFE

cornsilk · 23/12/2008 23:08

I'm waiting for survivors to come onto Catch up TV. I've wrapped nothing. HURRAH!

BitOfFunUnderTheMistletoe · 23/12/2008 23:07

Effie, are you all chilled for Christmas? I noticed your eminently sensible suggestions earlier about shopping locally and was inspired- I would like to thank you for a lovely relaxed day food shopping where I chatted away with my local shopkeepers and got everything I needed! Happy Xmas!

TWINSETinapeartree · 23/12/2008 23:07

My dp is watching trashy films as well, bet it is the same one. Lots of men in prison or in strange jumpsuits anyway.

EffiePerine · 23/12/2008 23:07

Tell 'em to bring the pizza, And drink a LOT.
