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).

Did she give you an unmumsnetty hug?

I'm picturing her wearing a gold necklace with the word BASTARDS on it. Classic mn

I can see it now, she has a lovely top on saying 'star'. Then she removes her jacket and boom! BASTARDS revealed.

She complains about her sunburnt norks and tells everyone who'll listen how they're wearing the wrong size bra.

Didshe tell someone to “FOTTFSOF(AWYGTFOSM)”
and if she did, did they deserve it 😉

Did she address her family as DD1, DD2, DS1 and DH?

Always a giveaway every time.

Sent the same post a day or so ago. When Mumsnet was playing up.
So if has been duplicated.Apologies.

She addressed her children and husband as DD1, DD2, DS1 and DH.

Always a dead give away.

👍

Don't forget the Ddog and Dcat... 😄

Eating a massive salad?
Feeding 20 people with one medium sized chicken?
Checking her husband's 'phone?

Did she tell you about her visit to the Oxo tower and wondered if she should bleach first?

I’ve been watching a lot of Sir David Attenborough with DS this week, which may explain why I’m now reading this thread entirely in his voice. Here we observe the Mumsnetter in her natural habitat, calmly feeding an entire herd from a single chicken...

She said "whilst"

Nope, though that's par for the course these days.

How annoying?!?!

ThreeDeafMice · 14/05/2026 21:26

Did she refuse to answer the door because she wasn't expecting a visitor?

After being on MN for more than 10 years I love this thread. Even though the OP hasn’t come back.

I think I learned from pedants’ corner to say “more than” - apparently saying “over ten years” is American 😀
