I notice that Taylor & Emmett Solicitors kindly offer a 10%discount to MNers preparing a Will, but its 15% on MO!

Hula - am so sorry, was just being flippant in the light of the other threads. Had no idea it was your DH.

LGJ - sorry to hear your news. I wish your friend well.

Hulababy · 16/05/2005 20:16

Thanks Louise. I am just trying to get back to the original unstressed Hula right now. Ths week on MN is challenging that has to be said.

I want the bars back, the fun chat. Lurking on the rude threads and giggling (but not brave enough to post!),...

hHopefully all this nonsense is just a glitch and we'll be back on form soom

Munchkinola · 16/05/2005 20:16

Can we think of anything else thats extremely delicate that we could turn this thread into?

Out of ideas at the mo but we seem to need some light heartedness.....

tamum · 16/05/2005 20:15

I certainly wouldn't have known it was your dh Hulababy. I think it was a lighthearted post originally, and presumably everyone benefits from the arrangements.

Hulababy · 16/05/2005 20:15

LGJ - sorry about your news; tragic.

I would love a bit of light hearted fun back on MN - but maybe not at my own and DH's expense please.

Louise1980 · 16/05/2005 20:14

Pleased you are cheering up a bit!

Hulababy · 16/05/2005 20:13

Thanks guys

I am just feeling somewhat fed up. I have so much stress recently, and just as things are sorting themselves out - all this doesn't help.

As I say, it may be an innocent query - who knows. Just seems to big a coincidence right now.

You are right - in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. Just I used to enjoy viditng MN and chatting. Just recently it had been soured, and the enjoyment is waning so much. Might be time to just stick to my TTC group, and just a few non-chat type threads.

ANd - DH doesn't make any more moeny out of this then any other client. It is just an opportunity for him and for MN, that's all. Both benefit, as do those MNetters who have and who may use his services. And he is a darn good solicotor from what I gather!

Still, suppose this thread is getting him some freebie advertising now. LOL!

LGJ · 16/05/2005 20:13

BTW

I didn't know it was your hub.

Chandra · 16/05/2005 20:12

I wouldn't take it personally Hulababy, every information in the web is subject to be interpreted in as many forms as people are different. And is expectable that any info/offer that becomes public will be liked by some and disliked by others. It's just part of trading...

LGJ · 16/05/2005 20:10

Hula

The initial post was light hearted, it was not a case of ............Well I never, the first post was light, as were the answers..........I know who MO are, call it a little bit of levity at the end of a Monday.

I for one was delighted to see a thread that could descend into silliness. I had a really bad day today, my good friend at work,( we argue all the time, but love to argue IYKWIM) had a massive heart attack at the weekend, he is only 46 he is still with us, but will be off for 3 months .

Speak to MNet towers if you feel the need, but close and careful analysis of the thread to date, suggest that there is nothing to be offended about.

This is out of character for you, are you OK ??

sunchowder · 16/05/2005 20:09

So Sorry Hulababy

Thomcat · 16/05/2005 20:08

Well I wasn't aware of this till this thread. If it was one person stirring please keep in mind it was 1 or 2 people only.
Also perhaps now they know whyMN are offer ing less discount than MO they think differently anyway, but if not don't let it bother you. A discount is a discount and your DH is getting business out of it so there's something to smile about.
Don't let it wind you up mate, it's not worth it.

101StressPuppy · 16/05/2005 20:08

Hulababy - I havent contributed to any of these thread (I don't think) but just wantd to add that I had no idea it was your dh so there is a chance that others don't either.

emmatmg · 16/05/2005 20:08

I'm fed up with it all too, Hula.

And I can really see why you're p'eed off now.

Louise1980 · 16/05/2005 20:07

Hula, please dont get upset or angry. Some of us are completely on you side and being at the messy end of shit stirrers I hate the low lifes. Just before I read this thread I looked at your profile and your dds pictures. Sod the lot of them. What do they matter.

Munchkinola · 16/05/2005 20:07

Poor you!

I think I would be fed up too.

This seems to take things one step to far if it was a personal dig.

{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}

RTKangaMummy · 16/05/2005 20:07

Oh Hulababy {{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}

I wish ours gave us a discount of anything rather than charging per minute for a telephone conversation in which HE speaks very very slowly

I do think it is very kind of him to help

Hulababy · 16/05/2005 20:04

Hard not to right now TBH.

And it has been quite widely publicised on here that it is my DH.

I may be wrong, but it would appear to me to be just one more set of stirring. Think it is too close to the other discussions for it not to be having a go TBH.Maybe I am wrong, but right now I am just fed up.

If it is a major problem, then I can always ask DH to contact thehe MN and see what happens then. The discount will NOT be raised however. I think 10% is a good deal regardless.

He doesn't HAVBE to offer this at all.

Thought we were doing some MNettersa favour.

Now it appears to be another way to be spiteful and have ago

BTW, not flouncing. Just not moderating for a while as I feel I have been placed in a horrid position recently

Feel very very

Louise1980 · 16/05/2005 20:03

Hulababy Id just let this go. I think its extremely decent of your DP to even offer his services to MNetters never ming a discount. Any1 who complains are just greedy sods!!!!

Cam · 16/05/2005 19:58

Don't take it personally Hulababy

bubblerock · 16/05/2005 19:58

HeHe Gwenick - watching Corrie and reading Mumsnet at same time - not a good idea!!

Gwenick · 16/05/2005 19:57

what is MO - where are these other threads about it?????

ooooo I'm getting nosey now!

popsycal · 16/05/2005 19:56

in hula's defense, I think she is feeling pretty pissed off at the MO/MN threads recently and this has just added to it

not sure if people knew it was hula's dh but think hula is feeling despondent about the whole thing

sorry for swearing

Gwenick · 16/05/2005 19:56

psss bubblerock - its Hulababy not Hunkermunker

bubblerock · 16/05/2005 19:56

Sorry Hula!!!
