… what?

What can you blame MN for recently?
Have you bought anything totally unnecessary, something which never would’ve never been on your radar until you saw it here?
Have you read a book due to someone mentioning it on MN?
Maybe even named your child a name which had never crossed your mind before? 😁

Thanks to MN, I have gone and … booked a holiday to Seville!
It has always been on the cards, but reading all about the current love for the city gave me the impetus to go ahead with it.
So actually I can also blame MN for being skint now 😆

Become a trustee of my local women's refuge. It's only been a couple of years but I'm learning a lot. The many, many accounts on here of abuse gave me the impetus.

Wow. Well done that's amazing. Thank you.

Learned to appreciate women so much more. You are all amazing!

Got 15 % of my house sale. The links to how to deal with damp put me in touch with a video for Wally Damp man. This allowed me to negotiate on damp etc.

TY mumsnet

I am one of the ones who LTB. Years and years of abuse skewed my radar and MN reset it.
Since then, advice and support on everything. It's been wonderful.

[Plus a heated airer (love), dehumidifier (love), reusable nappies (bought a lot from a MNetter who I'm now FB friends with!), slings, god- so much! Sometimes I just google:
'Item I need + Mumsnet' and then read all of your opinions and recommendations. Thanks!]

Became gender critical, discovered my inner feminist and attended various meetings, met amazing mumsnetters there.

Thanks to MN I bought Hake instead of cod or haddock from the supermarket. It was significantly cheaper, full of flavour and DH make it into a scrumptious curry tonight.
If I could remember who recommended it I'd thank them personally. So good!
