God no, I’m not that invested.
Have seen some terrible Barney’s at work over the years mind.

Fave Mumsnet post of all time ?

I'm relatively new here so I don't have a lot to reference. More interesting than funny - possibly the lady who wants to meet a Partner, doesn't want to do online dating and says she only leaves the house to go to work. Doesn't want to change anything about her life either. Then when anyone suggested a small step to take, she replied with a slight attitude which was then expressed about by others.... 🀷

Your favourite MumsNet post? Enlighten me!

I'm not a fan of Jools Holland and Nick Knowles. There will be more. I don't watch a lot of TV though.

Last time you screamed out loud?

Nick Knowles gives me the heebs too lol

Having blood pressure done gives me a floaty ASMR feeling !
Wallowing in a good hangover in winter - duvet day tea n toast , hiding away feeling self indulgently sorry for self.

Body count aka number of sexual partners you’ve had

πŸ˜‚ This depends a lot on age and lifestyle though doesn't it! I wonder what the answers to this would be on the sex forum. Perhaps we should take this one there! πŸ˜‚

Spiders - and more recently dead pigeons (don't ask). Still traumatised from that one.

Do you hug/kiss your friends?

I am a big hugger and a big kisser! I’m very touchy feely.

If you were to get married/remarried what colour scheme or theme would you choose?

Ideal night out ?

After a day on the slopes, a few drinks in the mountain bars which then inevitably leads to a wild night in slope-side bars, lots of alcohol and table dancing. My days are numbered for this now I have a toddler though!

Sounds gorgeous!! I want to pinch the olive green bridesmaids now. If I ever do it all again again again πŸ˜‚

Maybelline Sky Tube mascara. It’s so reasonable and so good!

My uncle - don’t marry anyone you wouldn’t have as a business partner.

About a million MN threads have proven him right on this.

If you were forced to go on Britains Got Talent what would your act be?

If you were to get married/remarried what colour scheme or theme would you choose?

It would be a small intimate ceremony - possibly white and pale pink - lots of flowers - but it won't happen!

Would you be happy to go back in time and stay in that time?

OP posts:
MudandMoet · 20/08/2026 21:03

That is sound advice! Maybe I should have heard this years ago!

I am quite funny when I’ve have a few but comedians don’t generally do well on BGT so I’d have to fall back on my party trick of being able to wiggle my ears πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Dresses, Jeans or Trousers?

Thats a tough one. I was going to say I would definitely like to go back in time and stay there but then I wouldn’t have my little girl so no I’ll stay in present time.

How many β€˜best friends’ do you have?

That who you chose to father your kids is one of the most significant life choice you will ever make
Tight men are crap in bed
Anyone who has successfully got themself of heroin will be one of the strongest people you will ever meet ( work related )
Teenagers can be selfish to the point of cruelty- don’t take it personally

I think we are in a similar age bracket.

Skegness (I will likely upset people now!) It took forever to get there and I was seriously underwhelmed. So much so we decided to stop 1 night and go home the next morning. I don't understand why everything is built with it's back to the beach? 🀷 I've never seen that before or again since.

Best UK beach? 🌊

I love a walk in a country park or woodland with my family followed by a nice pub lunch, back to the farm to feed the cattle then getting cosy in the lounge to watch Stick Man or Wallace & Gromit (for the gazillionth time) Happy days.

What's the gift you actually hate to receive?

Gingerkittykat · 21/08/2026 05:43

I hate receiving alcohol because I very rarely drink. I also hate receiving sweet treats because I am diabetic but still have no self-control around food!
