i know something i shouldn't, it's MN's fault

So when my best mate introduced me to MN when i was trying to conceive she let me read MN on her iphone and i noticed her rather charming username without realising what it was at the time.

i've never mentioned that i know it, she said she'd stopped using MN ages ago so it never occurred it would be an issue.

currently i'm pg, bored and checking into my antenatal group i notice there are lots of new groups since i was a newbie on there so i looked to see if i recognised any conception thread buddies AND THERE WAS MY BEST MATE Grin!!!! looks like she's 2 months gone.

i REALLY want to call and chat and congratulate but then i have to admit i know her MN persona

WWYD???

if i don't admit to knowledge i have to keep my knowledge a secret from her forever Confused

PrunellaDeVille · 03/08/2012 12:31

almost tears but no phoning, i'm not allowed to bring it up yet, i'm waiting....patiently and penitently and pretending MN doesn't exist. Hmm

Ahh, this is lovely. But I am being thick... Tiddley - how did you know it was 'you' ?

Pickles77 · 03/08/2012 12:34

prunella good on you Smile

ElephantsCanRemember · 03/08/2012 12:36

Aw how lovely Smile

Congratulations to both of you Thanks

bagelmonkey · 03/08/2012 12:49

Congratulations both of you.

tiddleypompom · 03/08/2012 13:03

Golly, thanks everyone!

hazel I was tipped off via a FB message - as per usual prunella ignored advice & confessed (by linking this thread). Complicated as confessions go, but it seems to have worked rather well :o

pixiestix · 03/08/2012 13:14

I LOVE this thread. Its given me the warm fuzzies. Congratulations to you both! Smile

wildkat · 03/08/2012 13:20

This is very lovely, congratulations both Smile Thanks Smile Thanks

PrunellaDeVille · 03/08/2012 13:29

'as per usual' Shock Smile

i know i can get tangled up and express things poorly in conversation, the thread seemed to have sufficient clarity to express the situation properly. also tiddley had the time and space to respond rather than putting her on the spot with a surprise phone call

as bagelmonkey says 'what happens on MN stays on MN'

thanks for all the help Thanks (sorry to those whose good advice i wantonly ignored)
