Have been here a good few years, met some amazing people, made some great friendships, and had some very supportive advice, but now I think it is time to leave - I don't think I fit here any more, maybe a reflection of the divisions in our society or of my rapidly increasing age !

Love and peace to all x

I will also be sorry to see you leaving 💖 take care.

Beamur · 19/02/2020 22:51

I recognise your name.
Sometimes we need to have a break.
I had a few years out after the hack thingy and it was good to reclaim that time
But, I'm here now and enjoy the site again.

Tiredmumno1 · 19/02/2020 22:57

Quite a few older names on this thread which is lovely to see, made me smile Smile

Also know how you feel Kurri, I read more than post nowadays.

Another name that'll vanish, we are all disappearing Sad bye bye Kurri

derxa · 19/02/2020 22:59

I recognise your name. Please don't go.

AnyFucker · 19/02/2020 23:00

Go well, kurri. I have enjoyed your contributions. Real life is not so bad 😁

MuscatelGrapes · 19/02/2020 23:01

You won’t know me, because I name change every week or two, but I’ve been seeing you around on various threads down the years. Good luck to you.

Flipswhitefudge · 19/02/2020 23:01

I'm wondering if you live in Kurri Kurri Australia?

AutumnRose1 · 19/02/2020 23:08

What a pity for us

Regular NC here but we have chatted. It’s been lovely. All good wishes Flowers

DesdemonaDryEyes · 19/02/2020 23:12

Lol.

Waitingfordennis · 19/02/2020 23:13

Oh no don't go! I've been here for 15 years, name change constantly because, well things are different. I remember you very well when your marriage broke down and it just all looked so raw, I hate to think how many years ago that may have been now? It's such a shame, I think a lot of old regulars do still post but we just don't recognise each other anymore Sad. Keep well xx

Bluerussian · 19/02/2020 23:14

Have a break and return.

morrisseysquif · 19/02/2020 23:15

Sorry to see you go.....

We need a diverse voices.........otherwise Mumsnet doesn't work, nothing works. Sad

PegasusReturns · 19/02/2020 23:15

Always appreciated your contributions Kuri

Lots of old names on this thread - for those losing the MN connection where are you headed instead?

VivaDixie · 19/02/2020 23:16

Another regular name changed here. I have tread the boards since 2008. I know you and will miss you Flowers

ChippingIn · 19/02/2020 23:16

@KurriKurri - I understand how you feel.

You know where to find us if you want to 🌷

Thank you for calling a bunch of ‘old timers’ together. I very much miss the old days.

I name change these days, since the hacks & the continual ‘gutter press’ crap

Good to see some friends 👋🏻

DecemberSnow · 19/02/2020 23:18

I've been here about 7 years, under lots of names

Take care !! 🍫💐

Bourdic · 19/02/2020 23:20

Random fgs don’t go to GN - therein madness lies

goldfinchfan · 19/02/2020 23:23

GN is harsh unless you fit in
I came here to escape that and sad to see older ones are leaving
where else is there to go?

Bourdic · 19/02/2020 23:25

GN is everything that is awful and then some

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 19/02/2020 23:25

Oh KurriKurri no! Please don't go, you're one of the old gimmers like me, when all of this was fields. I've namechanged a lot since I first joined, but you've always been someone who, even if I disagreed with you, would make me think 'maybe I should think about this from the other side.' because you never really got nasty or insulting.That's really important on here.

halexanderamilton · 19/02/2020 23:30

Oh Kurri - a long time ago, when I had a different user name, you helped me an incredible amount and I have often seen your name since speaking sense on threads.
I'm sorry you are going. Please know that you helped a stranger at a very scary point of her life and I am so grateful for that. You I'll be missed.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 19/02/2020 23:31

oh please don't go. We need all the voices of yore - and of older in years if that applies (as it does to me!) - the voices of experience. You always talked such sense. I hate to see you go.

What will be left if all the 'oldies' go? GN is a no-no from what I have seen. Where to next?

Sheldonesque · 19/02/2020 23:33

Ah now I enjoyed reading your posts.

I name change a bit but pull this one out of the hat for special - even after a wee ‘outing’ incident.

I hope you don’t go for ever and I wish you well.

Haste ye back though Flowers

marashino · 19/02/2020 23:41

I've wondered about gransnet but I've never ventured in, is it all jam, Jerusalem and knitting nannas ? (Slightly tongue in cheek....)

IchbineinBerlinner · 19/02/2020 23:43

I'm only on mumsnet the lat year or so. I'd love to hear how it has changed?
