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).

What's the B word?

Im plumping for bumbag.

You stubbed your toe on a sun lounger and she told you to log it with 101?

Applecup · 11/05/2026 16:17

Did she give you an unmumsnetty hug

Villanousvillans · 11/05/2026 16:20

She was busy drawing a diagram, whilst complaining about a CF neighbour who parks outside her house.

Were you in Puerto Pollensa?. That place must be crawling with Mumsnetters. I didn't care for it much and thought there were nicer places in Mallorca but I did find a gin bar, so perhaps that's the attraction.

Is the B word Birkenstocks?

DoggusDomesticus · 11/05/2026 16:20

She spat coffee out all over her keyboard?
She howled?
Her teenage sons were strapping 6ft plus-ers, top in their all classes, very good looking, and just amazing human beings?

She was wearing a £300 Rixo dress, just to walk to the supermarket (?)

Stoicandhappy · 11/05/2026 16:21

She referred to her MIL/DD

Bjorkdidit · 11/05/2026 16:21

She was at the all inclusive buffet and all she had was one croissant, because Mumsnetters are weirdly obsessed with 'pastries' on holiday even though they'd never eat them at home, and some naice jamon.

FlibbertyGibbitt · 11/05/2026 16:23

Was she clutching her pearls ?

Bjorkdidit · 11/05/2026 16:23

You walked past her room when she was demanding that the cleaner removed the toilet brush from her bathroom because she couldn't bear the thought of the presence of a toilet brush that someone else had used?

PurpleDisco · 11/05/2026 16:25

@UrsulasHerbBag she said LTB!

TallMam · 11/05/2026 16:26

She told you LTB!!! When your DH dared to look at another woman

PrincessHoneysuckle · 11/05/2026 16:26

She talked about a random man's comment

Pieceofpurplesky · 11/05/2026 16:28

Wearing the B word ... nope can't get it although naive ham is my fave typo ever!

ParmaVioletTea · 11/05/2026 16:28

The Mumsnet scarf.

Justthisthanks · 11/05/2026 16:29

Did she use the word “limerance”?

CircusAcer · 11/05/2026 16:30

Shufflebumnessie · 11/05/2026 16:07

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....😉

I second the Skechers suggestion for sandals. I find them incredibly comfortable.

dudsville · 11/05/2026 16:30

What a lovely trip down memory lane this has been, even if its left us all baffled as to the actual answer!

SpaDaysForAll · 11/05/2026 16:31

Refusing to tip and reading children’s books by the pool?

Theonebutnotonly · 11/05/2026 16:32

You heard her telling someone to respect her boundaries or she would go NC?

Jacopo · 11/05/2026 16:33

She had the word Balonz on her t-shirt?

MaCheCazzo · 11/05/2026 16:35

Was she armed with two bottles of bleach, three different sized scrubbing brushes, an industrial container of Dettol, a pack of face masks and some latex gloves?

SpaDaysForAll · 11/05/2026 16:36

Was she hard work?
