Mumsnet memories

[Yourmysunshine2]

So just woundering, what's your best mumsnet memory

Auntie tantrums babysitting for the weekend. The little one was hilarious and needed a bath and ate the dogs food and everything.

The one where a bride to be wanted to do a burlesque dance for her new husband at the wedding!

Cutted up pear through the eyes of a toddler!

The addicted foster child
The wonderful and besotted grandfather
Can I tell you about my first night with my baby?

All guaranteed to have me in tears just thinking about them.

Screaming in the Sistene Chapel

A couple of 'woo' threads - lissie and her little ghost girl and (I think it was) whomovedmychocolate and her haunted house.

Marmalade’s PTA lady and the lemon drizzle cake saga...

I remember lots of these and just had a real haugh reading about Hugh!

I don't remember Emin though. Sounds like maybe the baby died? Probably best I never read that one.

And would you believe I looked up the OP of the Hugh thread and she still didn't have a name a couple of weeks ago when the baby was 11 days old. The temptation to suggest Hugh was very strong!

MyOther, it was EMIN who very sadly died. It is a beautiful thread about an incredible, lovely woman who was fostering a small baby who had to go through withdrawal. It's in classics I think. She was truely amazing.

1. Elderly Korean lady was lovely.
2. Artisan fat balls was a hoot.
3. The spraypainted pigeon (can't recall the exact details) made me cry with laughter.
4. Cutted up pear was another great thread.

I hope no one minds me saying this but there was a poster with a little girl with leukaemia who was dying. I remember the posters name (and her daughter’s) but I don’t want to say it in case it triggers her or she thinks I’m odd, but the amount of love that hundreds of MNers poured over this woman and her family just astounded me. It wasn’t a frenzy like some of the recent more public ones have been, it was dignified, it was so heartfelt and it even had humour in the darkness. It was a good five/six maybe even seven years ago now, but I still think of that little girl and her favourite song when I hear it

The little girl was called Aillidh and her mum Expat still posts here. I don’t want to speak for Expat but I think that she would be touched that you remember Aillidh and all the love that was shown to her and her family.

Terfs you've just reminded me of Sassy and her racing pigeon.

FloweryTwat finding someone's dream wedding dress in Austria

Yes. That was a good one.

The fashionistas in the taxi queue thread. The OP was French and had arrived in London, via the Eurostar, with her DH, DC and luggage. She was incensed that the fashionistas in front of them in the taxi queue initially wouldn't relinquish their place in the queue because she had children with her and should, therefore, be given priority

Sassy and her racing pigeon

I don't know that one - is it in classics?

Screaming in the Sistene chapel. Had me and DP in stitches. Wish I could find it

I don't know Terfs, I'm off to have a look.

Elderly Korean Lady still makes me smile every time. It also happened the day DS was born, I think (or maybe the day after), which was just a nice little connection.

The pushchair one makes me snort with laughter every time I read it. Way out of proportion to how funny it really is!

The Trip Advisor thread which was full of ridiculously funny reviews. The oddest review included a prostitute who was worried about a plastic chair(can’t quite remember the full details!)

T Rexing

Lemon Drizzle cake.

Elderly Korean Lady.

Here's Sassy and her racing pigeon:

I often think about hannah whos mother in law took her newborn baby away from her and the police wouldn't do anything because dad was there. She got her baby back but I have no idea whether she's okay and hope they're both doing well

TwilBach and Orlaith - I think of Expat and Ailidh often too. I’ve been on here for years but name changed recently. I think of Ailidh whenever I hear Call Me Maybe. I hope it does bring Expat some comfort to know we still remember Ailidh.

So many threads have stayed with me over the years. So many women in horrendous relationships. Some of them get out but some of them just stop posting. I worry about them.

Btw how do you do the fancy link thing?

My first memory of mumsnet was a thread about a lady who found a bag of woman's clothes in her loft, I think there was a wig too.
I'm not sure but I think they turned out to be her FIL's
The thread kept me amused whilst on a boring night shift, and ive been hooked ever since!

Jools, IIRC the bag of women's clothes and the map didn't belong to the FIL. The OP of that thread posted on a similar thread to this one, some considerable time later, saying that although she wanted to believe her DH hadn't had a woman round to the house, she had a horrible feeling that he had - she said it had had a profound effect on their marriage, although they had stayed together.
