Slight tweak to the suggestion, but here it is.

I think you can make it so profile details aren't visible on the group?

Allflightscancelled · 06/07/2020 12:48

dowser that article you linked to at 10.27 today is brilliant. I'm gonna bookmark it.

Thanks everyone! I've just been googling groups it seems fairly straightforward and the whole admin thing means D's could be blocked if they infiltrate. Think the group pic should be the wanksock meme! Also, depending on your FB settings I don't think you can't actually see a member's profile unless you are friends - I just went through mine and it's all baking or skiing so no real surprises there (1 bed apartment not a chateau!). Do you want to have a go @incognitomum (about to not be very incognito!) and shout if you need any help?

If I'm being truly honest, joining this group will only be because I want to see @BubbleIsNotAFuckingVerb's mohican, @Mascotte's holiday pics and @AnxiousElephant77's wedding photos Grin

I would probably speak more openly on a FB group. There have been things I've haven't said here about how the virus is impacting me because they would be outing and I would breathe a sigh of relief to share those with people. I can't imagine anyone caring that much if they did spot me on here but at the same time I do like the idea of being anonymous. No judgement of anyone else - it's just lovely to connect with people who feel the same. This group has genuinely saved my sanity over the past few weeks. I would love very hard though if I joined the group on FB and one of you turned out to be a close friend or something. It would be hilarious. I don't think it's very likely though!!

I can see it now. We'll bond even more and in thirty years time we'll still be holidaying together and getting up to mischief (including drinking a lot of gin) as we reminisce about how shit this time was.

Allflightscancelled · 06/07/2020 12:53

Oh and GeneGenie in my experience MN are very selective about how they moderate. If you're expressing a view that isn't the accepted MN view you can be called all sorts of names and no one gives a toss. But if you're toeing the part line you are untouchable. Step away from the thread. You can't argue with stupid.

I have messaged :-)

This is interesting. Think if i posted it elsewhere it would blow mn out the water! Saw it on Scottish us 4 them.

Ibake · 06/07/2020 12:57

How exciting! Have just messaged you.

PickAChew · 06/07/2020 12:57

@Blobby10

PickAChew I get the same advert - all the bloody time! I never had a problem with holes until I got given a bee house and since then its gradually got worse. I had a bottle of gin delivered for my birthday in collapsible honeycomb type cardboard and couldn't even touch it! Had to get one of the kids to put it in the recycling bin straight away - the cardboard, not the gin !!! Grin
Hahaha. I hope I don't get that bad!

I have a fb friend I “met” when I sold her a second hand sports item on gumtree. When she posted photos of her child at prom, I thought it was taken outside the school. Nope, was in fact her house! 😲😂 what I’m trying to say is that she’s not an arse.

I already know hester and I suspect another one of you... happy to go on FB and share my shite life with you. 😁

Allflightscancelled · 06/07/2020 12:59

Oh I don't think I could join an FB group. I don't do FB. Hope it goes welll, though x

@Willow2017 that’s my pet peeve too.

That is an interesting perspective.

@ibake
Don’t worry about me I bake
I’ve a skin like a rhino 😂
And yes I’ve been a very fortunate second home owner both here and abroad but I’m just a normal northern girl from a very working class background
I’ve got friends in both camps and fit in wherever.
It’s not what you have it’s who you are that matters
And we all leave as we came in ..with nothing.
Well with nothing save our Reputation .
I once found a poem about this about acting through life with integrity and dignity so that when you passed people remembered you fondly. I gave it to my first husband who passed it to our son.
Oh the irony. He was exposed as a liar, a cheat on me, a serial cheat at that. He didn’t even include his children and beloved grandchildren in his will when he passed away
Just look at the Legacy he left behind.

Now as for the lovely Mr Dowser...( he’s in my good books today 😂)
I’ve told this story on Mn several times . When first husband was putting me through hell in the marriage breakdown from hell
My lovely mum would say..I wish your dad was here, he’d punch him on the nose.
Mum, I’d say..dad would be 80
Doesn’t matter she’d say..he’d still punch him on the nose.
Right I must stop rabbiting
We’re off to york ring road to plunder primani 👍

I'm up for joining a secret FB group as long as we limit it to regular ADs from the threads to avoid Dementor infiltration.

There are a lot of vindictive arseholes around.

I think it’s the same one I posted a few pages back

I’ve posted it on the caravan threads on fb and told them to argue with the professor.
I must be feeling a bit better today..( tummy bug) yesterday

Count me in

Ibake · 06/07/2020 13:06

Too funny, just tried to search for it and the unfortunate thing about having 'Ds' and 'safe haven' in there is that my search has now brought up a shit load of Dom sub groups - and fuck only knows what that's going to do to my adverts now!

Ok having difficulty inviting people. Try and see if I can add you?

PickAChew · 06/07/2020 13:10

I don't do Facebook.

fartingsparkles · 06/07/2020 13:11

Love the fb group! @incognito I can't work out how to msg off the app, but definitely want to be added 'pretty please!!'
