How did I recognise a fellow Mumsnetter while in Spain?

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 called her kid a tiny wanker?

Bonus points if it was at the doctors 😁

JustPlainStanfreyPock · 11/05/2026 15:54

Comfy but stylish sandals?

She told you to give your head a wobble?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 brilliant!

Was it me? I’m sure I opened the app at a cafe briefly 😬

Yourangduckie · 11/05/2026 15:58

She was walking with a row of ducks behind her? 🤷‍♀️

UrsulasHerbBag · 11/05/2026 15:59

I literally just went to Aldi (not mumsnetty) and you all got on board. She was utterly lovely and she was wearing the B word!!! 😂

Did she tell about her friends who she actually dislikes?

Piknik · 11/05/2026 15:59

She had an elderly Korean lady living on her hotel balcony?

JustSawJohnny · 11/05/2026 16:02

Did she eat an 8 egg omelette and then ask the restaurant to vote if her portion was unreasonable?

What is the B word? Boden?

Villanousvillans · 11/05/2026 16:02

She was overheard saying she was no contact with her MIL and that she’d refused the HV service.

Her husband snapped at her during a small tiff so she immediately left the bastard. This was easy as she had recourse to the tens of thousands of pounds she had in her secret ‘just in case fund’.

I was thinking Burtons

You was in the Maldives and she was telling you she was having to use a food bank with her and dh earning 300k each per year.

She said her teeny tiny salad was normally enoughfood to feed her family of eight for a month.

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 11/05/2026 16:06

She asked the woman on reception to guess her age.

If it's this, could you please ask her for the details because I'm still trying to find a pair that match this description....😉

Skechers meditation sandals I think they're called. Like walking on clouds and they look beautiful too😊

thedayisstretchedahead · 11/05/2026 16:08

Was she crying and shaking?

CrowsInMyGarden · 11/05/2026 16:10

She pushed her MIL in the pool because she doesn't have boundaries, told her husband she was going to LTB even though she had chicken that could last the week with the massive salad and her ducks were nowhere in line. She had to give her head a wobble and send a complaining note to the school when she saw a dog in the cafe and had to go no contact with the rest of the holiday group as they only change their bedding/bra twice a week and think their bums clean when they just use toilet paper.

Owlmoonstar · 11/05/2026 16:12

She made sure everyone was aware she was 'only having salad from the buffet for lunch' whilst looking at everyone else in disgust for behaving like animals at the trough.

Squidgoals · 11/05/2026 16:13

Did you overhear me tell a bloke that he deserved to be the subject of a Mumsnet thread?
(He’s come on a driving holiday, leaving his wife at home to look after their baby and toddler, and is also missing their wedding anniversary)

Carandache18 · 11/05/2026 16:14

Did she interrupt you to say, 'Kindly, but...'

A necklace saying "Balonz"??

I expect she was fumming to be spotted.

Cleocaterpillar · 11/05/2026 16:14

What's the B word?
