Why do I keep clicking on that link? WHYYYY???

YANBU I am nosy too.

I would put a photo up, but then I'd be identified in my job, and I couldn't use this site.

I don't have Facebook for the same reason.

MrsMadWriggle - I actually have to agree with you on that basis, because without the bumsex threads and similar freedom of expression I would not be so nosey in the first place :)

Karastarbuckthrace - that's cheating Wink

I never think to look at profiles so it wouldn't make any difference.

superv1xen · 16/09/2010 09:57

i have pics on mine!

(but i do have another log in in case i need to ask or talk about something that would get me in trouble / embarassed in RL) :o

DastardlyandSmugly · 16/09/2010 09:59

I have pics too!

cupcakesandbunting · 16/09/2010 10:04

YANBU but only because I am also a nosey fecker.

My profile is open. Didn't used to be but then I realised I'm probably safer with my MN profile open than with my wide-open for all to see MySpace page Blush Not that any fucker uses MySpace nowadays...

gingerkirsty · 16/09/2010 10:05

supervixen yes you are, indeedy!

Dastardly there are enough pics on your profile to keep me happy for aaaages! Gorgeous gorgeous wedding pics you both look lovely :)

For some reason I don't feel comfortable putting me on my profile pics. However I am completely not anonymous and anyone who has 30 seconds to spare could easily find a picture of me on t'internet anyway, so I don't really know why I'm hesitant about it.

Wow! I've just seen the website Rabbit, your husband's ever so clever.

I wish I could draw or paint, I'm hopeless at art. Envy

DastardlyandSmugly · 16/09/2010 11:22

Thanks gingerkirsty. I am ridiculously proud of my family Grin

DastardlyandSmugly · 16/09/2010 11:23

Oh and have just added some new recent ones of the DCs.

dingdongmrs · 16/09/2010 11:26

im still new and have no idea how to put a profile pic on!

thespindoctor · 16/09/2010 11:26

I quite like seeing your pictures but I'm an ugly old boot. I might put you off your lunch Grin

cherylvole · 16/09/2010 11:28

what a fucking stupid idea

GetOrfMoiLand · 16/09/2010 11:31

I can count on one hand those MNers whose prifile I have read.

I don't see the point in it really, certainly wouldn't want my pic up. It would be like bloody netmums with sparkly shit.

piscesmoon · 16/09/2010 15:28

I have read only 2-one who asked us a question about something and one woman who irritated me with every post! It just never occurs to me.

pagwatch · 16/09/2010 15:29

I would like sparkly shit.

gingerkirsty · 16/09/2010 16:40

Dastardly the pics are gorgeous and you quite rightly have plenty to be proud of!

Thanks Vall!

and thanks AddictedToRadley - he uses a mixture of pencil, watercolour, pen, acrylic, and Illustrator.

TakeLovingChances · 17/09/2010 16:55

Could someone please look and tell me if it is displaying okay? Thanks.

gingerkirsty · 17/09/2010 17:10
