I am back on Mumsnet potentially briefly I was on here a lot from around 2009 to maybe 2012 when my children were small and i was deep in sleepless nights etc etc all seems a distant memory now mine are teens. I’ve flitted in and out very briefly over the years. But really I remember when this was all fields 😂.

Are there any long term posters still going? I had an accident so my memory isn’t that great but so far on my brief travels I am yet to see any familiar names on any threads.

id update you all on my car crash life but I seriously doubt anyone remembers me its been that long

Despite some of the sad stories, I’ve read all the posts as this is such a wholesome thread 😍😍

ChocolateTea · 22/04/2025 22:34

Ive been here under a few different names since about 2006. Went to a few London meet ups around 2011-2014 I think? Knew a few people from here. I’d kept the same name for about 8 years but then switched it around a lot from 2015 onwards for various reasons.

LittleFiendSusan · 22/04/2025 22:38

I’ve been here since the early 2000’s and pop on most days to see what’s going on.

@weegiemum how do you see your member number?

I’ve been here since 2006 when I had my dd, think I’ve only changed my username once or twice as I’m quite lazy.

Arraminta · 22/04/2025 22:43

Yep, have been here (in various guises) since around 2007?

ChoccyJules · 22/04/2025 22:44

Yes, well not as old as those whom I used to call old-timers but here since 2008 I think (breastfeeding scrolling).

Ohyoudodoyou · 22/04/2025 22:46

Been here 20 years - mouldie-gate, penguins, lemon drizzle cake, Mexican house thief, so many memories.

BunnyRuddington · 22/04/2025 22:47

2006 but also a name changer.

SatanicAngel · 22/04/2025 22:48

Been here since 2003 when my eldest was born. Many, many name changes later.

MilnersGold · 22/04/2025 22:51

Been here since early 2000s under various names. My babies are now driving around and sitting A levels. Welcome back

ChoccyJules · 22/04/2025 22:51

Oh and @D0gI remember the first accident you mention when the air ambulance also came. I am so pleased you are doing OK and are in a happier place now that useless rucksack has left the building!

Davros · 22/04/2025 23:00

I joined in 2003. I’ve had the same name the whole time 👋

VanCleefArpels · 22/04/2025 23:01

I’ve been here under various names for 20 years or so!

Kneeslikethese · 22/04/2025 23:03

Been here since around 2009, quite a few name changes. MN seems much bigger now, not so much familiarity.

CamillaMacauley · 22/04/2025 23:09

I’ve been here well over 20 years. I name change a lot but was stripeyknickersspottysocks a long time ago and also VivaLeBeaver. I remember your name @D0g Was your first horse accident on the beach with a dog chasing the horse..? Or was that someone else. I remember tiredemma as well.

MrsCarson · 22/04/2025 23:12

I've changed my name so many times.
I've been here since about 2007/8 quite regularly when Dd was a toddler, and we were talking about moving back to UK, but was here way before that under another name/account I don't remember how long ago.

MilnersGold · 22/04/2025 23:12

@D0g I now remember you properly. You gave me invaluable advice when I was recovering from a shattered ankle. I think you had just recovered from your accident with your horse.

Thank you so much, your advice really helped and made a big difference. It was a long time ago but I haven't forgotten your kindness. Thank you.

ErrolTheDragon · 22/04/2025 23:25

I remember you too, D0g (I’ll avoid the @ to spare your poor inbox from a notification). I’m sorry you’ve had such an awful amount of bad luck.Flowers

D0g · 22/04/2025 23:25

@MilnersGoldI think i vaguely remember this actually!! I’m glad to have helped albeit in a
small wayhow is your ankle now?

Been here for years, name change loads and often nowadays.

Sorry to hear of your woes, DOg.

D0g · 22/04/2025 23:27

@CamillaMacauley def remember you as stripeyknickers actually this thread is helpful for my stupid brain is definitely jogging old memoreis. Yes it was a dog trainer’s dog chased and lunged at us!

D0g · 22/04/2025 23:30

Errol I think I have solved the million email barrage issue now 😂 pretty certain i remember your name too 😃

MilnersGold · 22/04/2025 23:33

@D0g my ankle is actually doing really well. Probably due to your excellent advice. Full of metalwork etc but as long as I don't paddle in cold water absolutely fine. Happy days. I'll never be a cold water swimmer and I had to give up trail running but all things considered I'm extremely grateful.

Scrabblingaround · 22/04/2025 23:33

Cutted up pear, cube of poo... I went off it all a bit when penis beaker happened but have drifted back again.
I remember you D0G, but I've changed my name so many times and always lurked more than posted.
