Hahahah. I'd make them publish a retraction next week. On the front page. We'll all know if we live near you when next week's headline is 'Irate Mum is Mumsnetter'

YANBU to be upset but YABU to be shocked - these are journalists we're talking about here! Not renowned for their stunning levels of accuracy... Wink

How bemusing would a retraction be if you weren't aware of either site?

"MsNickelhasababy, featured in last week's paper, has asked us to point out that she is a member of popular social networking site Mumsnet, not equally popular but slightly more lols and hun-based site NetMums. We are happy to provide the correction though slightly baffled by the difference.

Aw bless. I know it's probably a really tough game but I'd love to have a bookshop...

nickelhasababy · 09/05/2012 14:02

"propped up in her tiny hands" - she holds the book. it's not contrived. i didn't start the feature until she could hold the book (for about 3 seconds while i take the picture)
she just eats them now.

i love having a bookshop.

it's not profitable, but it gives me something to do.

WilsonFrickett · 09/05/2012 14:03

When I finish my book and get it published I will come and do an author's talk for you, cross my heart Smile

nickelhasababy · 09/05/2012 14:05

cool, that sounds good to me

I love having events, but find it hard because it's only me. :)

And there I was, reconciled to local papers after our local one did such a great job of covering the riots last summer! They even had up-to-the hour coverage and pictures on the website! Shock

(I'm not being sarcastic: it was well done. Mind you, given that it was SE London, and there was stuff to write about, it would have been a shame if they had fluffed it!).

Love her pose with the book, btw; it's so cazh...

Oh that is so funny nickel

A friend of mine opened a book shop a few years ago. I don't think she made any money from it but she just loved it and it made her so happy.
