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

is it even worth asking what the fuckity fuck is going on ?

Carmenere · 03/02/2009 15:23

This is all pretty embarassing and to think that the researchers from This Morning are (very probably) reading it too just makes me cringe

ruty · 03/02/2009 15:15

I am sure those researchers don't know whether to laugh or cry. At the very least they must be rather confused.

fwiw, if i did have a secret list of all moldy members, i would never ever ever list it on mumsnet.

bad form, v. bad form

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:10

www2, how dare you post details of me on this site without my permission.

bad form.

you "don't see the problem" with anything do you?

maybe you need help

pagwatch · 03/02/2009 15:09

yep . me and toddlers struggle with 'blackcurrants'.

I only ever get blackcurrants as part of home delivery order now. It reduces the chances of being kicked out ofthe supermarket

VictorianSqualor · 03/02/2009 15:03

A friend of mine's child couldn't say Blackcurrant so asked for BlackCunt to drink once. She taught him to ask for juice pretty quickly.

pagwatch · 03/02/2009 15:02

blackcunts is my usual phrase. Apparently

If you watch Eastenders then woe is you indeed

'you are a bunch of fucking twats' would work for me.

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 15:00

Or twunts.

Btw, what do you lecture in?

VictorianSqualor · 03/02/2009 14:59

We say 'cunts'

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:58

LOL! Oh what a sense of humour you have! I'm sure you'll fit right in here!

Winehouse · 03/02/2009 14:57

Or, actually, what about 'You are all a bunch of arseholes' - is that more the sort of thing that would make me accepted?

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:55

" you will also have seen that I post about lunchboxes Eastenders and mushroom risotto."

Oh woe is you!

(sorry, couldn't resist! )

VictorianSqualor · 03/02/2009 14:55

But it's a closed group Maurice, so by joining and then posting the members someone has been a bit sneaky, no?
Just as would be if someone joined any group that was meant to be private and then linked it all.

Group is def closed. You have to ask to join, plus no-one can see wall posts (as they have not been linked -yet?-) .

If you just search DoM on facebook, I think that you would get just a small pic, no info whatsoever. The link to the memebr's page is a private link

Winehouse · 03/02/2009 14:54

Pagwatch if you have seen me post you will also have seen that I post about lunchboxes Eastenders and mushroom risotto. I am not 'woe is me' about Mumsnet. If anything I am 'woe is you'.

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:54

Hmm, I've been off for a good few weeks too. I could change but I've had this name for years so don't really want to.
I thought your posts on the Rev thread were very good btw.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 14:52

dunno, i've been trying to limit my MN time rhubs, and having a new name is good cos i don't get so involved in convos iykwim? when i get more time i'll change back probably.

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:52

On the Mumsnet fb site I mean, not the others.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 14:51

no, they don't say who their mumsnet names are.

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:51

But many people don't realise that Aitch. Foolish yes, but fb shouldn't have public default settings.

Do you want to be called Aitch still or not?

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 14:50

if you can link to the members list of a closed group (assuming that the person who started it - whoever that was... - has checked the settings), then that would be a serious hole in the programming.

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:49

Do they say who their Mumsnet names are?

I agree that people should be more careful with fb. I found my 10yr old niece on there, or rather she found me, and I was horrified to see her friends included men from Armenia and such places - her privacy settings were default and so everyone could see her posing in a shoulderless dress, in the bath with her younger brother, etc.

I don't think kids should be on there at all.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 14:48

they can't legislate for where their names will be seen or discussed, from the minute they join FB. no point whinging about it. you even have to register that you DON'T want to be listed on google, for goodness sakes. it's not a private medium.

VictorianSqualor · 03/02/2009 14:48

Posie, I don't think I've ever seen the actual members page of the MN group linked on here. That would be against the whole 'closed group' thing then wouldn't it?

VictorianSqualor · 03/02/2009 14:47

Not you Aitch, you muppet.
'KerryMum1' and whoever 'wickedwitchofwestlife' is.
