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).

She said she'd gone no - contacto with her parents ?

MoreRabbit · 12/05/2026 20:32

Ooh was she panicking that she didn't have an ERF car seat for her 10-yr old's 5-minute taxi journey? (And I say that as an ERFer...)

Was she wearing a light cardigan or wrap for the evening whilst whizzing round with her Shark travel hoover?

Fivekidsandcountingsheep · 12/05/2026 20:34

She was getting her ducks in a row

Runlikesomeoneleftgateopen · 12/05/2026 20:40

Was she complaining about dogs everywhere ?
Asking strangers how old she looked ?
Writing her Xmas lunch menu ?
Complaining about cyclists ?

CoffeeAndWalnut26 · 12/05/2026 20:49

You heard her say ‘leave the bastard’ to her friend?!

What is naice? Is is just another word for posh?

Are you even a MNer if you don’t know ‘naice’

Mumandcarer80 · 12/05/2026 20:53

She called out come along darling children.
Or her DC was called Jimberly.

TheDevilWears · 12/05/2026 20:56

She told you to LTB…

JulietteHasAGun · 12/05/2026 21:08

Did she have a MN tote bag which says “I believe in icod” on it?

Did she cancel the cheque?

Fantastic

Carrying a penis beaker?

I'm working class and Welsh. This word isn't really used here.

AliceAbsolum · 12/05/2026 21:12

Does her DH have a beaker for his penis?

fruitypancake · 12/05/2026 21:14

Was she clutching her pearls ?

HappyHacienda · 12/05/2026 21:17

murasaki · 11/05/2026 15:31

She was not getting along with her MIL.

Or her step children. Bastards.

randomfemthinker · 12/05/2026 18:14

She asked you for a handhold after an argument with her partner resulting in her screaming, "cocklodger" at him as he didn't go 50/50 on the holiday.

😂😂😂

HasDepth · 12/05/2026 21:23

that is all repetitive now...where are gone OP
some proper update pls

Mumandcarer80 · 12/05/2026 21:27

Shinyhappyapple · 12/05/2026 18:28

Just what I was thinking! Everyone knows that the whole of Spain is ‘Brits Abroad’ and a true MNer only holidays in France or Greece. Although Spain may be allowed if it’s an Ikos hotel.

Ahem I love Spain it’s my favourite holiday destination.

horsemadgal · 12/05/2026 21:29

Did she tell you that you're the carcass?

JulietteHasAGun · 12/05/2026 21:32

EarthSight · 12/05/2026 21:10

I'm working class and Welsh. This word isn't really used here.

It isn’t used anywhere apart from on MN and by dyslexic supermarket shoppers purchasing ham.

JulietteHasAGun · 12/05/2026 21:33

I got recognised as a mumsnetter on a train from Sheffield once and the other person started a thread about me. 😁

in my case I was reading mn on my phone which was a massive give away.

Same here. It still feels like most of Mumsnet thinks that Spain is one giant AI hotel where people go to lay by the pool getting pissed and shout at their DC for two weeks, only getting up to fight over chips at the buffet.
