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

I vote Yorkiegirl and Hunker.

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 29/01/2009 21:42

Ah yes, I'd do it. I love Phil and Fern.

I've got 2 girls, aged 4 and 2. I actually got into MN from your book on pregnancy.

MN helped me in the early days when I had my 2nd with breast feeding issues and I've made a few friends from here who I've met in RL.

I always tell my newly expectant friends about MN.

I've got a face fit for radio, sadly, VVV...

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/01/2009 21:41

Have you put your name down hunker?

VaginaShmergina · 29/01/2009 21:39

Please let me go on...... I would love to say my name and try hard not to laugh about saying VAGINA on daytime TV !!! Dr Chris would be out in a flash

I don't mind appearing. I used to do full time work but had to stop when my SN son started being unable to go to school. I have built up a business and work mainly from home doing accountancy/book keeping and because I won the HUGE battle with the LEA about appropriate placement for my son, he is now in bi-weekly boarding school and it means I am slowly regaining my life again. I'm 40 something, I have two children whom are now 14 and 17. I first came to Mumsnet because someone recommended it to me about 5/6 years ago for SN advice and I'm still here. I like Mumsnet because of the diverse nature of the site and the fact that you can post anon and ask the most embarassing personal questions and get the most brilliant answers in the world; some questions you might not want to ask of even your RL best friend and besides, who wants to look daft in RL, ask Mumsnet and you know they can stick you in the right direction. I have to say that I do also enjoy the "has this thing kicked off yet" when they happen and I do miss Cod.

VaginaShmergina · 29/01/2009 21:38

Never now quite what I am getting myself into Kerry

I have 3 children - 5, 3 and nearly 2. Mn has helped me through some dreadful times - we have moved 3 times since having ds1 as dh is in the army and he has been away on ops for over a year of that. So I never had the family support that most do going through this stage as we have spent 4 years in Germany. MN has helped me through 2 difficult pregnancies, severe PND, and I now prefer to MN than google - have had in depth chats about such varied subjects as having to take antidepressants while pg to the much more serious is wentworth miller gay? thread. Would never fault it - despite trolls and the recent turbulence, I still log on once a day....

RipVanTwinkle · 29/01/2009 21:32

I vote Custy and Yorkiegirl. The two best sides of Mumsnet right there. Witty & sharp-tongued versus someone who really needed, and got, the huge support that Mumsnet offers (and witty too, obviously).

VaginaShmergina · 29/01/2009 21:31

Who is a MOLDIE ???

ssd · 29/01/2009 21:24

so who's doing it?

VaginaShmergina · 29/01/2009 21:22

Yay me me me me, pick me !!!.... done How to look good naked.... twice so has to be whole lot easier with your clothes on, and that's no porky pie either !

Initially found MN to help with problems with the kids. DD age 8 (going on 27) and DS age 5.

Then found threads that helped me with my maritals and also bereavement too. DH works long hours and MN keeps me company. Found I had more conversations on MN than in RL some days. Have made some amazing supportive friends here and would not be without them.

whitenoise · 29/01/2009 21:20

nooo i am not going - i have fallen out of love with MN at the mo and would say the Wring Thing.

Still, an all expenses paid trip to meet VW would be amazing (AND i could catch up on some sleep on teh train!!)

How long you been VW and why didn't i know?

Frizbe · 29/01/2009 21:11

I vote for Vampires and CSWS

SoupDragon · 29/01/2009 21:05

I could send BabyDragon. That would be entertaining...

morningpaper · 29/01/2009 21:05

When I was 10 I sent a photo of Phillip Schofield that my hanster had half eaten to that Saturday morning Going Live! programme he did and he read it out on the telly

I was in love with him for YEARS

When I was about 20 I went to a trendy London restaurant where you all sat on long communal tables and I was seated next to Schofield and I was so nervous that I couldn't eat a thing.

VampiresWalkin · 29/01/2009 21:04

oooh oooh oooh - Take whitenoise and me - we have been wanting to meet for FIVE YEARS

(We may not actually say anything, but think how happy we would be)

SoMuchToBits · 29/01/2009 21:02

I would love to see Custardo on tv!

psychomum5 · 29/01/2009 21:01
