To think that there must be mumsnetters out there that don't use/aren't on Facebook?

[LaurieFairyCake]

there must be.....

Say I'm not the only one (don't have one now, got rid more than 4 years ago)

People who think they are oh so above Fb get on my tits tbh

I'm not on FB

Me. You are not alone.

i am not on facebook , i did look at it when i had my first request to be a friend,but had no idea what i was doing and then got fed up recieving all the emails from others wanting me to be their "friend"I am happy to just be on MN

Another problem with FB is arsey bastards who want you to go on FB so they can "friend" you. I get all sorts of shite about seeing their kids grow up, er I can see your kids when your nagging me about FB and quite honestly if I don't "like" you in real life I'm not going to want you looking at my stuff.

Stands to reason, usualsuspect, you handpick your fb friends, mn is just a loose community you choose to participate in. Or not.

If you don't like FB fair enough , no need to slag it off though

It doesn't make you a better person

I'm not on it, neither is DH, and he also doesn't even have a mobile phone.

What technical luddites we are!

I'm not on facebook. Though I think you may have gathered that you're not alone by now.

True LowFlyingBirds, I wish there was an ignore poster option on here though

Ha! Ive had that too.

My sister got all huffy that i got rid of fb, what about seeing her pics of the family, the kids etc??

I do want to see their pictures and hear what theyre up to but managed that just fine before fb with emails, phone calls...

Have a FB account only because without it I could not see pics of an event I had help organise. I rarely look at it. I don't care what people eat for supper or for the opinions of people I don't know and will never meet. If people I know can't be bothered to contact me in person then there is no point of thinking there's any kind of relationship. There's RL, there's FB. I appreciate that some people cannot go out and about and for them interaction online may be a lifeline. It is not for me but is clearly important for many. Any medium of communication can be used to spread scurrilous gossip etc newspapers so that's not restricted to FB

LOL at Pascha . I have never been on facebook.

Not on Facebook. Never have been.

I'm not on Facebook, mainly because I waste enough time every day on MN and so daren't sign up to anything else.

In truth, it's also because I find it all a little bit confusing and I'm concerned I would get my security settings all wrong etc. I blame my age. I used to be pretty good at this technology lark, but seem to be getting worse at it the older I get.

I'm on Facebook because I have lots of family overseas and use it to share photos etc.

Having said that, I only look at the thing once every couple of weeks at most. I think I have about 20 Facebook 'friends'. Makes me chortle when I see that 'yoofs that I know' have approximately 925 'friends' each.

Do you also enjoy cooking over an open fire and cleaning your house with a damo cloth and a dustpan and brush?

I'm not on it.

Too many exes and not good from a professional point of view.

Sometimes wish I was though tbh.

Me I don't use it

Not on it either

Me. Never used it and can't see the point to be honest. I seems daft to me.

• "do you enjoy cooking on an open fire" - er yeah... Got the kettle on top of a wood burner

'clean with a damp cloth and sweep the floors' - yeah to that too, got pets and floorboards.

I don't have Facebook not because I'm sniffy about it - I don't have it because you can't keep it properly private. Mine was 'private' 4 years ago, people (students and clients) still found me. So now I don't have it - it's just easier

Laurie- me too. I couldn't think of suitably Luddite household tasks at that time of the morning!
