ITV's This Morning programme have invited me and Justine on to talk about the Toddlers book and want to also invite a couple of Mumsnetters to talk about how they got into Mumsnet and what Mumsnet means to them etc.

The date will probably be 4th or 5th Feb, they will need us between 9.30 and 12 and are prepared to pay travel expenses.

Anyone out there interested in snuggling up on the sofa? If you are, please put a bit of blurb about yourself here - how many children you have/how old, how you got into Mumsnet and what it means to you etc - so This Morning can decide who they might fancy inviting. If you do volunteer we may have to pass your email details on to This Morning, in case they want to chat to you, so shout now if you'd rather we didn't do that.

Thanks,

MNHQ

yes, there was a lot of 'i presumed you knew what it meant ' comments previously.
i'd hate people to think that.
thankfully, i think they were just teasing.

damn, why did i put that thread in chat.

mymama · 06/02/2009 09:51

I just googled it.

I can't help myself.

Curiosity killed the cat and all of that

I have learnt my lesson

Too late As long as you didn't choose it because of that - I was wondering how I would be able to talk to you again knowing you chose it as a username for that definition!

dragonbutter · 06/02/2009 09:15

i'm guessing it's not the sort of story that phil and fern would be interested in

dragonbutter · 06/02/2009 09:14

I DIDN'T KNOW!!!!!
seriously, i was DB for about a year before i googled the name.
i chose the name because i had a dragonfly and butterfly wedding dress.
The thread where i discovered this was hysterical and the general concensus was that i should stay as dragonbutter.
so i am.

i haven't googled it recently so have kind of forgotten the exact urban dictionary definition, but i remember it being very filthy. so don't googled it if you are offended by filth.

Flamesparrow · 06/02/2009 08:50

Ew! Why did I do that?? Why did you choose that for a name?!?!

dragonbutter · 05/02/2009 22:14

don't do that!
sorry mr justabout.

PestoBlizzardMonster · 05/02/2009 17:30

Thanks Carrie.

But do they have a date in mind? I want to make sure I don't miss it

dragonbutter · 05/02/2009 17:29

Hi All

Just a quick update - This Morning have now said they want a couple of Mumsnetters who have contributed to the book (rather than who have a good Mumsnet tale to tel) so they're doing a trawl of volunteers from here who also appear in the book and hopefully we might get somewhere next week! Apologies for the initial false information, and of course if you've already rifled through the book, spotted your name AND would like to go on This Morning shout now.

They will probably want to talk to a few folks on the phone before deciding who they want.

Sorry again for any confusion on this, we only managed to speak with them directly yesterday.

Thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far

I think they may delay while they word the disclaimer before hand and ensure thatthe bleep machine is working

Lemontart · 04/02/2009 11:37

I half wonder if This Morning have postponed it thanks to reading this thread... can see the producer talking to the floor manager now:

"ok, we are going to need at least 6 on site trained bodyguards able to physically restrain potentially lethal and psychotic women..2 netters (Justine seems pretty ok) so that makes for 3 each. Hmmm Let?s postpone this a week while we revisit the original staffing budget.."

Tortington · 04/02/2009 01:22

i hear that you have to wait until its dark to go domming

oooerrrmissus · 03/02/2009 20:06

Rhub, I frequently go domming. It's much warmer than loitering around in a layby on the A3.
I'm not aerated about the DOM thing.
I'd like to see one of the Mumsnetters who run the Bar go on. They have some great dos in there, it's a really safe non-judgey place to be of an evening, and I never see them getting involved in the mudslinging.

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 19:56

How can dom be a hobby? Do you go "domming"?

Oh and the 'twat' has apologised folks.

I think they'll pick someone who has nothing to say about Mouldies. Someone who is the least offensive poster, who mainly goes on the breastfeeding threads or something.

I'll bet the 2 Mumsnetters are no-one you'll have heard of unless you are due in April or summat.

oooerrrmissus · 03/02/2009 19:48

Oooerr! Every time I sit on the sofa I fall asleep and miss Excitement.
Has my name been published on MN?
Thing is, I joined DOM for obvious reasons, I thought it was all about DOM, which is a hobby of mine. TBH, I'm so confused by it, it could actually be about dom.
Tell me pag, don't suppose Penis Dog has his own FB group?
