To think that MN seems to have had quite a lot of newbies over the past few days?

Is it just me?

Seem to have opened up a lot of threads where the poster is new to MN. Not that this is a problem of course - I think it's lovely. Though I am almost certain it has something to do with the massive amount of free advertising MN has had from the Netmums v Mumsnet battle Grin!

AlCrowley · 27/08/2010 09:38

Why won't that work?

mi-warning-lol.html ah, there was a space in the word health

AlCrowley · 27/08/2010 09:38

I give up!

dingdongmrs · 27/08/2010 09:39

lol its ok, i managed it, but thank you for trying.:o

TSC - did said monkey actually ejaculate on your bonnet?!

Two days in a row now you've made me think of stuff I'd really rather not have in my mind - 'ped0filz' and monkey-spunk - thanks awfully.

seaturtle - your fetishes/kids faces has made me type a rare LOL (but I actually did)

This thread has made lying in bed while my newborn farts away on me actually quite pleasurable (and that's not a fetish).

dingdong - just had a look at the netmums sex thread. That MarianneO is a goer isn't she. I think she needs to be extended an invite round to MN for Friday night supper.

I love the way she struggles to get many of the NMummers to join in. But it feels weird with her pic on the posts with DS on her lap.

Will a photo of herself and her child and a description of her sex life be hanging around forever...urgh.

In a hundred years time, when they are doing "Who Do You Think You Are" type programmes all this will be unearthed.

'This is your great grandma with your grandfather on her lap. Can you see the family resemblance? We haven't been able to piece together much of her life, but she did have a vamp fetish, and never could quite see the point of ironing school uniforms'

'I never knew my great grandma had such an amazing life'

Grin at wukter's Who do you think you are!

TSC - Boak at the simian semen screen splash

I'm frightened to tell you anything about my daughter, you might sully her loveliness with one of your minging mind infections Wink

Not sure I believe in a hearts and flowers version of TSC Smile

She's called Aurelia and is also 4 weeks (so technically not a newborn anymore Sad) and has totally converted me to the idea of a daughter (couldn't imagine having one after my scrummy PFB DS!)

Just finished bf her so she's grunting and squeaking contentedly, which makes a refreshing change to the farting.

And I've so just outed myself to anyone who knows me in RL!

How's it going with your new boy? You've got a toddler too, right? All manner of shit-covered madness isn't it?

Now look at us turning this thread all hunni. pmsl, lol, etc

Anniegetyourgun · 27/08/2010 15:47

THERE IS NO "LOL"

THERE IS ONLY THE Grin EMOTICON

Now behave Angry

AlCrowley, that link was like Twi sluts on magic mushrooms Grin

CakeandRoses · 27/08/2010 15:57

Sorry Annie, hun Grin

Thank you TSC Smile - looks like she'll have reddish-brown locks like me You're good!

Oh and while I think of it: NM-speak is getting everywhere, in my Boots Baby Club newsletter (actual paper thing not email/web) they actually had quotes where they talked of a baby as 'lo', ffs.

CakeandRoses · 27/08/2010 15:59

Voldemort - you posted above or below Kreecher earlier. Rather ticked me, that.

CakeandRoses · 27/08/2010 16:09

'tickled' that is, not covered me in parasites

I once cocked up a bid to take on a company's internal news filming contract by saying "I have an A-level in Film Studies"

and I couldn't understand why everyone was so pissed off with me afterwards. Well I was young-ish Blush

It gets a bit obsessive trying to work out whose colouring/nose/lips/toes the baby has, doesn't it? DS is a blond, big-kneed mini-me of DH so I'm kind of hoping that this one looks a bit like me!
