Okay, I know my name ruffles feathers. MNHQ sent me a (very nice) email back in February asking if I would consider changing it, I have only just seen the email Blush

I said to MNHQ that I might throw it open to a poll. They said probably not a good idea because people who would prefer me to change it might be reluctant to admit it for fear of being called a prude. So here's the deal; you can be honest. If you think I should revert to CupcakesandBunting say so and no-one will call you a prude here. If you'd like my present name to stay say so too. No-one will call you a potty-mouthed numpty. Also, if you couldn't give a crap, you can say so too Wink

well bupcakes, do you like your name? If so then why not just keep it?

BupcakesandCunting · 15/07/2011 23:37

No-one has called you a prude or alluded to it, Vanilla. I was just asking what you meant.

Well after being a Mummy all day, I like to have a Wine or three of an evening and lurk on Mumsnet and having people with sweary usernames just adds to the fun so what if I'm a potty-mouthed numpty imo

Bupcakes I think you may be mistaking my tone to be a lot more serious than I am being...that is the problem with words on the page....
I wasn't saying you were alluding to it or anyone alluding to calling me a prude, not you but others were but......oh yawn
I thought everyone knew what Baps were, wasn't the alternative name of 'Baywatch' 'Bapwatch'?

HalfTermHero · 15/07/2011 23:42

Just 'Cunt' would be really quite nice. Fuck the haters.

usualsuspect · 15/07/2011 23:42

I know Grin

I love you all

DogsBestFriend · 15/07/2011 23:43

What Scottishmummy said.

The only thing that irritates me is that it reminds me of the infuriating, "Eat your bread and buppy" saying that my mum used when I was a child! :o

Keep it, please. We're big girls (and boys) on here and if it's okay to say that something's pissed you off or that someone drives like a cunt it's okay to have your name.

BupcakesandCunting · 15/07/2011 23:43

Must be a regional thing, Vanilla!

MumblingRagDoll · 15/07/2011 23:44

MN HQ only moan periodically because they have a decent image to uphold....they probably don't give a shit...but they know some advertisers might...BUT...they wont ask us to never swear as people would be put off.

HalfTermHero · 15/07/2011 23:45

Love you too, Usual

Tiredmumno1 · 15/07/2011 23:45

HalfTermHero · 15/07/2011 23:46
