OK, I have no shame. But if you fancy wasting time today you might want to look at this It's something that I wrote ages ago about Mumsnet that was supposed to see the light of day but didn't, but I thought you lot might want to read it anyway - so I whacked it on my blog. There's other bits and pieces that may or may not make you chuckle. If it does, leave me a message on the site ... she pleaded pathetically.

I really enjoyed reading that (excellent and true analysis of mumsnet meetups!) and though I'm not in the West London crew, I am a veteran mumsnet-meeter and have met some of your gang elsewhere......

RudolphCAM · 14/12/2004 14:07

Middlesex is a big county - and very nice too! Which side of London are you? Also, what did you do at WC? Every time I drive past it I am jealous that I didn't have all the new shops and cafes when I was there - apparently they even have music recitals (when they aren't making people redundant)! Were you programme based? I worked with a rather well known red head.

Subtitling - still do it I live towards the western end of the Central Line.

Are we talking a winking redhead here? I know someone who worked writing questions for her.
