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 had a Bobble plate stuck behind a toilet on her t-shirt???
She needs to spend more time in S&B 😄

Is the B word Beaker (of the penis variety)?

She bought a chicken in the supermarket and you overheard her telling her husband it would feed them for the week?

Was she watching her DH reverse the car, open-mouthed at his competence and transfixed by his forearms which were exposed by his shirt sleeves rolled up at the elbow and slung behind her headrest as he masterfully carried out the manoeuvre??

Just a thought.

She was wearing head to toe leopard print and was getting on a bit.

Did she say "are you ok Hun?" whilst she sat next to her cock lodger.

WhitePudding · 11/05/2026 17:55

She was head to toe in Boden and had ‘Cod’ on a necklace.

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

Was she telling someone that despite the fact that they had been unconscious for ten minutes and their arm crushed under a collection of sun loungers, A&E was for emergencies only?

Busybeemumm · 11/05/2026 17:55

Did she ask you to choose a name for her child who was now almost 12 months old

@UrsulasHerbBag "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!!!"

Why isn't Aldi mumsnetty and what's the B word?

DPotter · 11/05/2026 17:58

place the divider on the supermarket conveyor belt lengthways?

You were minding your own business when a woman hove into view and she was doing the secret MN sign; one hand raised holding a rubber chicken and the other hand splayed out to indicate 'five days'?

She had a name badge with Bastard on it?

JeopardyLeopardy · 11/05/2026 18:01

Did she have a penguin up her jumper?

Calliopespa · 11/05/2026 18:03

Her son was AT LEAST 6 foot and EVERYONE was looking at her DD when she entered a room, despite valiant attempts to conceal her DD's great beauty.

JJMama · 11/05/2026 18:04

Was she eating a Massive Salad?

Calliopespa · 11/05/2026 18:05

Do Mners go to Spain though?

Carlie97 · 11/05/2026 18:07

She was telling the tale of her Mexican house thief to her new holiday pals.

Calliopespa · 11/05/2026 18:07

She was shouting "Read the F^&%$G thread!"

LBFseBrom · 11/05/2026 18:08

She told you your fella was a cocklodger and to LTB.

GlitteryRainbow · 11/05/2026 18:10

She was reading or posting on Mumsnet?

Carlie97 · 11/05/2026 18:11

She was comparing the price of Carrefour with her shop of choice back home, Waitrose.

KojaksLollipop · 11/05/2026 18:11

Was she carrying a poo knife?

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 11/05/2026 18:11

You saw her in the hotel lobby as she staggered by with a mini freezer full of pre-prepped bagged up meal portions?

Cryingatthegym · 11/05/2026 18:12

She flashed her minge at the side of the pool?
