I met a mumsnetter in Spain... How did I recognise her? (Just for fun, but I did meet one of us in the wild and there was a recognising factor).

I don’t know this one!

She had a 10 year old child rear facing in her car?

That was such a good thread.

Omg that was epic! Well remembered!

Noshowlomo · 11/05/2026 21:51

Was she complaining about the number of dogs in a cafe, or arguing with herself should she grab a table before she queued up to order her food?

Peclet · 11/05/2026 21:53

B word has to be Boden and I think probably she was complaining about school fees?

You were at a wedding and recognised a dress from Mumsnet

Scorchio84 · 11/05/2026 21:56

This thread is brilliant! So many memories of threads of mumsnet past

Thanks for the laughs 😆

She was showing everyone her marriage proposal video

She was internationally on the run from a particularly vicious crow?

No, but I think that may be why the OP hasn't returned.

said cockwomble?

Read the first 8 pages and still don’t know what the B word is 🤷‍♀️. I’ve been on MN for years and remember all the classics mentioned here but I’ve obviously missed the B word. If anyone finds out please let me know 😂

Her husband was doing t rex arms in a supermarket 😂

My DP literally does that T-Rex arms thing when he’s asleep on his back.

Looseweightlooseinterest · 11/05/2026 22:07

She was setting boundaries 🤦‍♀️🙄

Charmatt · 11/05/2026 22:14

She had forbidden anyone to see her PFB for the first 6 months after they were born?

OhFeyreDarling · 11/05/2026 22:14

Did she tell someone ODFOD?

The Mumsnet scarf.

Came to say the same!

BretonStripe · 11/05/2026 22:15

I reckon she was wearing Boden.

Would like to know a bit more about how they got chatting though.

TheBluntSeal · 11/05/2026 22:16

Was her DH's name Brian and they hail from Hull?

Can I see pics of MN scarf?

Her son Balonz had a toy bat and Brian was discussing Yoni muffs and if Boden would be interested in some kind of partnership.

Delici · 11/05/2026 22:20

This guy?

OP is trolling and you have all fallen for it. MNers do not go and make pointless small talk with random strangers.

She absentmindedly stood bottomless next to the pool whilst blowing up an inflatable, and her DH shouted "YOUR MINGE" to alert her to this?

Did I miss a thread? 😂 if so please point me to it

maudelovesharold · 11/05/2026 22:27

Was she wearing a t-shirt with this B word on?
