It's the lady from the chutney threads. I read all her threads and kept up with her son being born and all the other things that happened and I often think of her and wonder if she's ok. He must be at least 8 by now

@WalkingInTheAir13 yes!! Thank you. Still think of her

@AlternativePerspective

Apparently about 90% of deaths announced online are trolls.

My instant thought about saying someone was told not to ring a&e so she didn’t but died I would automatically assume that they were a troll.

Let’s be honest, would any of your DH’s or families think to log on to mn and update that had died? Of course they wouldn’t.

I often think of @misdee and I have tagged her previously in these types of threads. I remember giving out my mobile number to a MN’er (it was back in the early days when MN was much smaller) the night her DH had a heart transplant and I had to go out but wanted to know if he’d come through.

IIRC they went on to have another 4 or 5 children after that.

Hello

I had to reset my password to reply :)

Thank you for thinking of us. P is now 14 years post transplant. He went back to work for a while. We did have another 4 children. The last few years have been very hectic as our youngest was diagnosed with an extremely rare genetic condition which had implications on the rest of the family and also on work unfortunately. I don’t post here anymore due to the media trawling threads for content. I am still extremely grateful for all the support all those years ago. Flowers

Gosh Misdee it’s so,lovely to hear from you. And that Pink Peter is well!

@Jackthementalkitten

Does anybody know what happened to the poster -who write the thread about eating the hamster? I know it was a wind up, written by someone called green ( something) way back in 2006 I think.
I've got vague memories of a thread by hullygully (?) involving a hamster stew, but I may have misremembered crucial details!

On the other hand, AS has just turned this dubious thread up Hmm

@playmelikeasymphony

TwitterQueen was the poster who was told not to go to A&E who turned out to have ovarian cancer. She died a couple of years ago.

There was also another poster who was advised not to go to A&E last year who was then diagnosed with leukaemia. Can’t remember their name.

Twitterqueen was a friend IRL. She was a lovely lady and is sadly missed.

I often think about the poster from this thread, it's still on my watchlist and I hope she's in a better position now.

[quote FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge]**@DerAlteMann* I think you are asking after the truly lovely @dementedma*[/quote]
Yes, I am but wasn't sure if it was OK to name names. But if we are, another poster I remember with affection was the wonderful WellWhoKnew who actually made the horror story of her divorce funny. Hope she's happy.

DerAlteMann · 31/08/2021 11:33

[quote dementedma]**@deralteman, how lovely you remember me. Still have purple hair! I was also one of the witnesses at the MN wedding in rural Scotland along with @venusandmars.[/quote]
@dementedma Every Xmas I think about your triangle Ma and Midget Obama. Stay safe and be happy.

dementedma · 31/08/2021 11:53

Midget Obama!! I'd forgotten that referenceGrin. Still produce my triangle at Christmas. It never fails to delight.

Thank you, whoever you are!

BOF -RIP
Anyfucker- I didn't know she'd gone
Mrs Wembley- I met her. She was nice and lives/lived near to me.
Dittany
Bupcakesandcunting - hilarious

The young woman who had twin girls early and some complications herself. She was so upbeat and her babies were getting better. She used to post from her hospital bed and then there was a post from her husband saying she had died. The sadest thing ever on Mumsnet Sad

I was on a thread with Anyfucker yesterday. She's not gone anywhere!

@BiddyPop

CatThiefKeith (but I knew she had passed away).

WellWhoKnew (she quit MN at some stage but had been very strong leaving her H and supporting others as well)

TheFormidableMrsC (I think) who's H moved in with another widow and abandoned their SN DS

There was another poster in Scotland who's DD passed away from cancer after a long fight

And another mother dealing with her DS's illness (and death) despite the strong interference of her ILs who were making it all about them.

@BiddyPop I'm still here! Things didn't really stop with my threads unfortunately. Ex-h has moved to Scotland with OW and has lost contact rights with our son. OW is subject to injunctive measures in relation to DS too. I could write a whole new set of threads of the chaos that toxic pair have caused not just to me but to others who had become victims of them and had contacted me out of fear for my son's welfare. They live very remotely now I'm told and I hope they are never seen again. Last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer, they both took this as a signal to up their abuse, OW banned my son from their home so ex-h couldn't help me while I had surgery and treatment and I shut the whole thing down via court. I have no doubt that the stress I have been under contributed to my illness. DS is 10 now and doing ok. He has had to see a psychologist unfortunately because of his father and has self harmed and has had a very difficult time but we are slowly making progress.

In terms of WellWhoKnew, we remain friends and she's just finished an amazing adventure! She's a truly wonderful woman!

Thank you for remembering us!

TheFormidableMrsC · 31/08/2021 17:02

This has been such an interesting thread. I am really sad to read about BitOfFun. I knew she was ill and her cancer had returned when I visited the cancer support threads myself when I was diagnosed last year. I didn't realise she had passed. She was so lovely, she was incredibly supportive to me on my threads about my horror divorce. I will never forget her.

I miss Somerville too. We used to chat in DM and she was so lovely. I think she name changed and we lost touch. If she's still here, I hope all is well and I send my love ❤️

LondonSouth28 · 31/08/2021 20:15

Always read @AnyFucker comments and @TheFormidableMrsC 's I read all your divorce posts and felt so angry at your ExH on your behalf. Your ex is a knob of the highest order.

changeyourname11111 · 31/08/2021 22:59

@WaterIsBest

I will always remember the poster who asked for advice on here , she was a regular, had been around awhile

She was ill and was contemplating going to A&E,
People responded with ‘Dont go to A&E,
If your posting on here, You cant be that ill…

She died of sepsis

I always think about her when people post advice to not go to A&E.
Its very dangerous and i dont think it should be allowed

That is so terrible Sad.
PricklesTheHedgehog · 31/08/2021 23:12

I think of @Gobbin who once really helped me (under a different username) get through a Crohn's crisis.

She sounded like she was suffering herself. Hope you're ok Gobbin!
