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).

B word?

The MN scarf takes me back.

She told you that she didn't know how on earth she'd managed to get to Spain for a holiday because she and her husband were currently slumming it on 200 grand between the two of them?

That's brilliant!

Complaining that retired 84yo MIL is spending her inheritance on cruises instead of looking after her 7 kids every day?

MagicMagpie · 11/05/2026 17:20

Was she heading for the airport as her friend had been ignoring her since they arrived?

MyShrivelledGnarlyFinger · 11/05/2026 17:24

Was she spray-painting a pigeon?

2Ex2 · 11/05/2026 17:26

In a hotel and she was disgusted that the bedding was only going to be changed once a day?

ThreeDeafMice · 11/05/2026 17:26

Because her first post nailed it?

MagicMagpie · 11/05/2026 17:26

Was she arguing with her husband about who was going to refrain from alcohol that night as someone had to be able to look after their 17 year-old twins?

Clemmie?

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

Oh god, i’d forgotten this one! 😆🙌🏼

Handeyethingyowl · 11/05/2026 17:31

Was she telling someone to go to A&E now, and asking why on earth they weren’t already there?

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?

While looking at a loo brush and having an attack of the vapours...

Caterpillargirl23 · 11/05/2026 17:33

Did she ask you how old she looks?

AnnaQuayRules · 11/05/2026 15:16

She had a child called Balonz?

🤣🤣

BunnyLake · 11/05/2026 17:36

She told you that you had a face like an armpit.

Indigomelon · 11/05/2026 17:39

Was she ‘genuinely baffled’ by all the CFs reserving sunbeds with their towels?

HasDepth · 11/05/2026 17:39

Her husband left her alone with the kids and is spending time on the beach with her best friend, both of whom are claiming it is only enjoying the sunset, while she tucks the kids in bed....

BeckyAMumsnet · 11/05/2026 17:40

It's obvious, @UrsulasHerbBag - she had a massive salad.

oneoneone · 11/05/2026 17:41

She claimed to be able to smell unwashed vagina across the room?

HasDepth · 11/05/2026 17:42

She was sitting by herself, finished typing something and cackled to herself, saying: Ahhhhh, am glad listened to the advice of the wise vipers

nam3c4ang3 · 11/05/2026 17:43

She was talking to her husband about his penis beaker incident last night?! HHahhahahahahhahaha

OonaStubbs · 11/05/2026 17:44

I always draw half a fish on the ground and if the other person draws the other half, I know their a fellow MNer.

ilovepixie · 11/05/2026 17:44

Was she carrying a penis beaker?

spiderlight · 11/05/2026 17:45

Was her DH off doing his hobby but she couldn't tell you what it was because it would be outing?

Hopefully not from a penis beaker!

Yes! Fond memories of the penis beaker. Simpler times 😂
