Nowt, really.

Bit of naivety maybe.

Dowser · 27/10/2019 07:18

Probably for a bastard of an ex husband
Other than that I’m pretty anonymous

BethanyGilbert · 27/10/2019 07:31

I’ve had quite a few things in the papers from here. Under a different name to this of course.

BalloonWhisk · 27/10/2019 07:34

My abs.

Puta · 27/10/2019 07:34

I never notice anyone's username, and change my own every few weeks. If you want to be 'known', try Instagram.

Deathraystare · 27/10/2019 07:37

For my total hatred of Viscose I think! That and my lack of technical knowledge.

TokyoSushi · 27/10/2019 07:40

An absolutely horrendous house move and public service announcements regarding timings of votes on the Westminstenders threads.

And probably getting a little too excited on the snow watch threads, but hardly ever actually getting any snow!

My story was quite well known a few years ago. I had a thread when DH was admitted to ICU, I was 32 weeks pregnant with DD2. It was a lonely and terrifying time and I updated my thread with his progress, I ended up staying in hospital every night with him, sleeping on the floor with my pregnant belly so some Mumsnetters offered to bring me a camp bed etc. Tragically DH was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive cancer and died when I was 36 weeks pregnant. Mumsnet was a great source of support at the time.

5 years on I'm mostly known for telling posters never to be financially dependent on a man ever (thankfully I wasn't and we're ok).

Dowser · 27/10/2019 10:48

Oh grobags im so sorry to hear his
How horrendous and all within a month too
I hope life is being kind to you right now

madcatladyforever · 27/10/2019 10:49

Being a man hater I expect.

madcatladyforever · 27/10/2019 10:51

That's terrible grobags it happened to a friend of mine too. That God she had her own job and finances.

SingingLily · 27/10/2019 11:10

Nothing much, as I really only post on certain threads.

Graphista, I suspect you and I might be thought of as poles apart politically but I always read your posts because they are reasoned and sensible and make me think. You might be surprised how often I find myself nodding in agreement.

Gwenhwyfar · 27/10/2019 11:17

For disagreeing with things.
I disagree with that impression!

I suppose it is true that you're sometimes more motivated to wade into a conversation if you disagree, though.

A few of the Redditt women think I'm anti-disabled people because I don't have a bedside lamp in my flat, even though the light switch is near the bed and I never have disabled guests anyway.

Rockbird · 27/10/2019 11:19

Nothing. 13 years and nobody knows me Grin.

Nothing really, a tiny name may be

Graphista · 27/10/2019 14:14

Grobagsforever I’m so sorry for your loss.

Dowser to me you’re known for sensible relationship advice

SingingLily - thank you for that. I am quite opinionated I know that but even in real life I as a feminist, left wing, remainer vegetarian have really good close friends who are traditionalist, Tory voting, leave voting, pro hunting meat eaters 😂

While we may not always agree your humour is quite similar to mine so your posts make me smile.

We can have some quite “spirited” debates sometimes but I love them dearly and I hope they love me too and we just agree to disagree. I believe it’s entirely possible to be good friends with people you disagree with on various issues. I draw the line at bigotry/nastiness though and when the brexit ref was in full flow there were a couple of friends (not so close ones old classmates) who posted the most appalling xenophobic/racist shit on sm and I did cut them off. I was quite shocked at one of them as we had been in a group of friends in our class at school and one of the others was a Caribbean girl! I noticed she cut her from her friends list too! Awful situation.

Gwenhwyfar and I disagree at times too but generally I’d say the same is true of her too that she writes mostly reasonably so even if I disagree I like reading her posts and find them thought provoking.

Ssd I recognise you as a fellow weegie and find your posts are usually quite down to earth and sometimes amusing.

Corneliawildthing · 27/10/2019 14:15

Being invisible. People rarely reply to, or comment on, anything I post

Bluesheep8 · 27/10/2019 14:34

Er....recommending revitalash, f and b skimming stone, and a light fitting from Dunelm. Other than that, nothing really.

RedJoan · 27/10/2019 14:47

Hopefully nothing, I have been here since 2004 but try to remember to name change every couple of months.

AnotherEmma · 27/10/2019 14:53

I don't think I am particularly "known" but if I am I would guess it might be for my liberal use of LTB Grin

Gwenhwyfar · 27/10/2019 15:28

"I like reading her posts and find them thought provoking."

Thank you Smile

Pinkyyy · 27/10/2019 15:33

I very rarely remember posters. I sometimes recognise usernames, but I don't particularly know them for anything, just the username.

GinUnicorn · 27/10/2019 15:39

I don’t think I’m known for anything which is good when it comes to asking advice that you wouldn’t want linked back to your real life. I don’t really post often enough to be known.

GinUnicorn · 27/10/2019 15:39

@ Corneliawildthing I think we need to break that feeling. So hello
