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).

Oh come on @UrsulasHerbBag everyone is waiting for an explanation as to what the B stands for! For the love of god put us out of our misery! Even MNHQ has contributed.

She mentioned the Spanish spiders had been rubbing their Willies on the beach towels she left out overnight?

she told you she cooked a whole chicken and had made 45 meals from it

She diagnosed your whole family with autism based on a tiny interaction.

She said cancel the cheque everytime someone said something somebody else had already said.

Did she ask you a question then disappear for 10 hours without giving the answer, whilst the rest of you all discussed what the answer could be though?

She was eating naice jamon.

She had a hobby that was ’Outing?’

Was she screaming at a beautifully decorated ceiling?

🤣🤣🤣

NewLifter · 11/05/2026 22:41

Did she request that penguin bollards be installed around her sun lounger so no one comes near her?

Fridaynightsarentwhattheywere · 11/05/2026 22:42

Was she eating lasagne with boiled potatoes?

When walking towards the pool, did her husband shout out to her "your minge!'"whereupon she realised she had forgotten to put her bikini bottoms on?

Edited

Even though the OP is incredibly annoying for posting intriguing statement and disappearing…I am glad I found about this! 🤣

WhataGinormousPITA · 11/05/2026 22:52

Well, if she was dressed head to toe in Boden that makes her likely to be English or an Anglophile, of a certain economic bracket, and therefore very likely to be a Mumsnetter?

Blondiney · 11/05/2026 22:57

Was her boyfriend doing T-Rex?

Calliopespa · 11/05/2026 22:59

She used the word "gently" or "kindly" before proceeding to denigrate every inch of you?

GenialHarrietGrouty · 11/05/2026 23:05

She claimed that someone was vile.

Hellohelga · 11/05/2026 23:19

Did she look like Suzie Quatro’s fat nan?

SalmonRunner · 11/05/2026 23:23

You were both wearing the same dress from ME+EM?

Pom Bears for dinner?

Peelgirl76 · 11/05/2026 23:45

Omg I love this thread, it’s made me laugh so much after a shit day 😂!!

Sgtmajormummy · 11/05/2026 23:57

Did she say “Should I ask Piglet John for advice on our leaky toilet back in the villa?”

Woodfiresareamazing2 · 12/05/2026 00:08

Was she sat there eating a teeny tiny salad, then she turned around and said to her friend (who she doesn't actually like very much at all because her DD was upset by friend's DD, and friend just pretended like nothing happened) "I don't know but I think he might be ND but I'll never leave him because I completely love him even though he strips to his pants every time he comes home".
And did her friend turn around and tell her he was a pervy arsehole and she should LTB.

Or something like that.

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

Was this in an actual thread?!! And if so how can I find it?

And picky bits and that weird teddy bear pretend ham.
