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.

Joined 2004/5 I think, mostly lurked on the multiple births threads initially, I remember cod’s toilet training boot camps and moldiegate but not what I was called then #senile

BIWI · 06/01/2019 20:54

Moldies was Christmas 2008. Seared on my memory Grin

Under a few names, though this one for 12 years now. I joined in 2002 when ds was a baby. More prolific poster in the early years (when this was all fields.........).

GobblersKnob · 06/01/2019 20:56

DerRosenkavelier fuckyouchrisandyourhorse? Maybe?

UCM is that you? was awesome Grin
And the saga of the booble plate.

Old and wrinkled here
Will check the year but 2009?

ChanklyBore · 06/01/2019 20:59

I’ve been here 13 years but no one would recognise me. Many, many name changes.

QOD · 06/01/2019 21:02

Ermagad!!
January 2008 so 11 yrs!!!

elQuintoConyo · 06/01/2019 21:02

DerRosenkavelier FuckYouChris AndYourHorse? I think she sadly passed away last year, if I'm not mistaken.

I joined around November 2011, a live birth thread sucked me in (baby ISBN, cannot remember the poster's name Blush she owned a bookshop hence the baby nickname).

I recognise many of the previous posters, and also don't recognise many. This place has become a little vicious, especially aibu. But there are still some wise words to be read and some funny threads (even if they have to state the bleeding 'lighthearted' obvious!).

Celeriacacaca · 06/01/2019 21:05

Here since 2001 but not as active as before. Can't bear the long posts that seem to be the norm now - and miss the humour!

Drookit · 06/01/2019 21:07

I joined when my youngest was about 2.5 so.....2009 maybe.
I enjoyed long chatty threads about pushchairs with a group of like-minded enthusiasts.
Off the top of my head I remember
Kormachameleon
The fishy one
Expat
Pagwatch
Aitch
Morningpaper
Hedgewitch
Thumbwitch
Riven

And more

Llareggub · 06/01/2019 21:09

I've been here since 2006 when pregnant with my now giant son. Stopped looking for parenting advice until around now, just as the teenage hormones are kicking in.

backaftera2yearbreak · 06/01/2019 21:12
  1. Round about the time she who must not be named.

Girlylala
Girlylala0807

And my name now

GobblersKnob · 06/01/2019 21:13

elQuintoConyo she posted in November? Am really hoping not.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 06/01/2019 21:16

Oh no! Is that really true about FuckYouChris? Sad Sad

Somehow I missed that.

TheyBuiltThePyramids · 06/01/2019 21:17

Was it Nickelbabe - the live birth thread? I still miss GetOrfMoiLand and whoever it was who lived abroad and had YumYum Frankie the local policeman (it's annoying me as I can't remember) and Cha0s and her l0st v0wels. And I joined in about 2006 and reregged and name changed many times in the past. Not recently though as I have forgotten my password Confused. It used to be much funnier on here. "Love Bus to Crealy" anyone?

WindyWednesday · 06/01/2019 21:17

Been here in many names since 2010.

Remember these names.

HullyGully
Pagwatch
MarmaladeTwatkins
Bupcakes
Loads more,

Thought I bumped into Xenia the other day on a thread.

AnyFucker · 06/01/2019 21:18

I joined in ? 2007 (is there a way to check ?) just before Mouldie Gate so had no clue what was happening at the time

Seen a few changes since then 😁

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 06/01/2019 21:18

I’ve been here since I stumbled across the place on a Google search as a 20 year old childless student in 2009 ish. A few name changes since then!

I still think of Riven frequently enough- she was having a tough time of things before she finished posting.

GetOrfMoiLand- she changed her sheets nightly if I remember correctly!

Reality and her odd SIL.

LaQueen and her weird in-laws.

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond- didn’t she catch a newish bf on a dating website and she catfished him and got him to agree to meeting up at the penguin exhibit at the zoo?

I don’t know why I can remember so much of this stuff but constantly forget where I put my house keys.

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 06/01/2019 21:19

Windy Xenia is still about the place!

Jaggythistle · 06/01/2019 21:21

Pretty sure Xenia is around. She's been on a few FWR and related threads that I've been on.

HumourlessFeminist · 06/01/2019 21:21

I've been here forever, but namechange a lot.

😂 at UCM is that you?

There's also a great thread somewhere where a poster asks a question about a particular pushchair that they were thinking about buying, then they came back a couple of years later and answered their own question (as they'd bought it after all) without realising 😄.

Jaggythistle · 06/01/2019 21:22

I'm kind of loving seeing all these names here. Blush

WindyWednesday · 06/01/2019 21:23

I’m sure I saw her, she upset a few posters on a thread if it was her, by trying to make it all about her.
