to feel I haven't really "made it" on mumsnet as I've not been mentioned in the talk round-up email yet ?

(Goes off to sulk).

I want to be famous.

Well, in the mumsnet talk round up anyhow.

I never have.

In years

MrsJingleBells74 · 21/12/2012 19:59

I scan it religiously every week in the hope of seeing my name but never do Hmm

Fairylea · 21/12/2012 20:00

Clearly I have nothing interesting to quote. Which in fairness is probably true :)

I will have to plot an amazing response... to something.... anything.

Ive been here forever, and Ive never even heard of the fucking round up.

Am I on it?

MistletoeAndTomHardyPlease · 21/12/2012 20:02

I did, years ago. Under another name

HumphreyCobbler · 21/12/2012 20:02

I have twice yet I feel I still have not arrived. It was under different names.

I made the round up on the morning I was going in for my section with DD. DH accused me of being more pleased about that than the impending birth of our daughter Grin

IloveChristmasandsodoesmydog · 21/12/2012 20:04

I've been mentioned on it.

I commented on the poor MNer who got stick in her loft hatch, dressed in her swimming costume, unshaven, and some firemen had to help her out.

I don't feel like I've made it though, if that helps.

Fairylea · 21/12/2012 20:05

At least I'm not alone in scanning it then...

I'm sure the first time I'm ever on it - if ever - will be something hideously embarrassing like the time I posted on the piles in pregnancy thread or something like that. Nothing more glam than bum grapes at 38 weeks pregnant.

Never been on it that I know of. Have scrutinised it a couple of years ago, but don't bother now. Not me, oh no.

Asinine · 21/12/2012 20:08

I've never read it, thanks for giving me something else to be offended about.

WhenAChildIsBawnTigga · 21/12/2012 20:11

Erm, I don't read it, it goes straight to the junk mail folder.

I want to see Brian Cox's enormous cunt on the roundup .
Any chance of that MNHQ?
Funniest thing I've seen all week (mostly the comments afterwards tbf).

MikeLitorisHasChristmasLights · 21/12/2012 20:32

I've been in it.

Your best bet is to do something embarrassing.

Get stuck somewhere, say something cringeworthy or generally get everyone pointing at you and laughing.

I have only been on mn a couple of weeks and was proud as punch that my comment about lying to my son made it into this weeks round up. Unfortunately it was attributed to someone called goldenlula whoever that is.

I know it doesn't matter but I am a little bit miffed. It was me, me, me who told my son that tower blocks of flats are castles

sweetkitty · 21/12/2012 20:38

I've been on it twice I think Grin

SPsFanjoIsSantasLittleHoHoHo · 21/12/2012 20:38

I'm in it nearly every week. I feel like a d list celeb tbh Grin

Rollmops · 21/12/2012 20:39

Why would you care? Why?

[whatever it is]

3b1g · 21/12/2012 20:41

I made it in my first fortnight, with a quote that included the only word that needed to be asterisked in the whole round-up. If you look back at my posts, you'll realise how hilarious this is, as I'm one of the least sweary people on MN.

Meglet · 21/12/2012 20:42

Somehow I've been mentioned on there 3 times. I suspect that those were the weeks I was ill and posting loads and eventually something was amusing / insightful.

Tigerbomb · 21/12/2012 20:55

I've been in it twice .

I am so far from "arrived" that I haven't even left

Teladi · 21/12/2012 20:56

I had a (very short) quote in there once. It made me feel like a real MNetter, even though I am really just a lurker!

TheCortanaThatStoleChristmas · 21/12/2012 21:01

I can only dream of talk roundup. I have made topics of the week twice in the last two weeks though. I reckon this is the MN equivalent of being Dean Gaffney.

SugaricePlumFairy · 21/12/2012 21:34

Where is it, never heard of it!
