Anyone still around from the olden days ??

[TheOriginalNutty]

i think I joined when Ds was around 9 months old, so 2003, and then stopped posting around 2013/14 ish maybe, not too sure.

Seems like a life time ago and was just sat here wondering if anyone from then was still around, or if we all buggered off.

Um, that would be Stratters, not Starters!!!

@MrsMorton was the dentist, I think.

I’ve been here since 2010, same name, been pretty quiet.

I've been here since about 2004/5. Was relatively regular visitor when dc were small, then irregular for a few years, but got sucked back in on the gcse and a level support threads over the last couple of years. Have very much appreciated walking revision, exams, university applications and leaving home with a bunch of other people in the same boat.

Hulababy is definitely still posting under another name. I live near her and have been to several meetups she organised, years ago now. Her dd and mine are similar ages, and we have swapped costumes for school dress up days.

I met a fair few mners on one of the 'mile for maude' walks. Very sad reason, but good to see the community pulling together.

8 years crabb, you're still a probationer

Yes MrsMorton is a dentist. She was very kind when I injured my jaw.

Mrs Morton helped me too with advice about braces for my son who had a tooth with no nerve. He has lovely teeth now,Mrs M if you are still around.

Yes Mrs Morton, good 🥚. Haven’t seen her for a while.

Awww for some unknown reason I’d retained the - as it happens incorrect - notion that Rhubarb and Custardo were cousins. . Dittany gave me a rollicking on a FWR thread once - she was right. Hullygully used to make me laugh a lot.

I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned Dawndonna and her lovely DD.

I often think about Dittany and the hard time she got on FWR - and she was right.

I remember you too QOD.

Hullygully had a gift for making good short interjections into overheated threads.

I often think about Dittany and the hard time she got on FWR - and she was right.

Agree.

was Hullygully a teacher with lots of lovely Florida holidays and a teenage daughter?

@Tiredemma thats nice to hear, how are you and your big boys doing, and of course the baby!! my eldest is 20 , I still remember the lovely letter you sent me about my mum, it was much appreciated at a really difficult time.

Fucking hell I've been on here exactly ten years, I've just realised that. I joined in January 2009 when DS1 was about 3 months old. I def remember the BLW forum, shame it has gone, BLW has suddenly exploded in popularity in the US if you follow any reddit parenting sites, so she'd probably have scope to start it up again but her kids must be teens now.

Mathanxiety, helped me leave my abusive X, some others as well. I am rubbish with names but recognise lots here.

Been here 17 years jeez!!!!

The famous “UCM is that you??” Will forever make me chuckle 😂

Dittany was lovely to me on, of all things, a bonkers conkers Amanda Knox thread.
I hope she's still around in disguise.

Frankwhippery, I used to have such a laugh with her. Some on here I miss, others I don’t, such is life.

Lots of old names here! Was Pan and variations thereof.
Registered at SWMNBM and sort of trailed off....probs like most people?
DD had just started at primary. Now She is just starting a nursing degree.

Oh now I’m laughing my head off at “UCM, is that you”? after all these years!

I have an awful memory for names, I do recall princess peahead though.

I joined 10 years ago this year. I was CheekyLittleSox then I was M0naLisa then MoaningLisa

I've just remembered BrevilleTron, I wonder if she's still here under a new NN? She used to start some hilarious threads, mainly about her minor mishaps at work!
