Mumsnet seems to constantly be having a bashing in the media so I thought I'd come and see what all the fuss is about. Are you all cackling o'l know it all witches and woman scorned doing voodoo dances naked? Wink

Should I run for the hills? Grin

Joining up after media-bashing is as good a reason as any - that's why I joined up (it was this article).

Yes we accept children, as MN is really a front for guerilla army, but don't tell anyone.

Gin usually helps.

YouTheCat · 24/04/2013 21:54

I could do with a gin or five. Grin

LadyMacmuff · 24/04/2013 21:54

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 24/04/2013 21:55

yes, I think you will fit in here. Grin

NoSuchFairytale · 24/04/2013 21:55

Found, a bit of both -a natural cynic who's life is one thing after another.

My feet fit nicely under the table here. Could do with some slippers, though.

You're not alone OP, I joined after MN was in the media specifically the Daily Mail clutching its pearls about Friday night Bumsex threads

I have never looked back Grin

Welcome, welcome, welcome. There is an initiation though. Once you are sucked in, well it gets a little Hotel California.

Grin Wine not gin cuz gin is gopping.

MadameDefarge · 24/04/2013 22:14

sign here, dear gal, 'tis wondrous, hideous, eyepopping and adorable..plus the best place ever to come if your will to live has dwindled to nowt and you need a kick up the backside/a bit of love/understanding, and quite possibly a combination of all three.

As for the gin. Do try Heston's earl grey gin in waitrose (not a waitrose shopper) but oh my. oh. yes.

Gin and a tiny cute kitten and an NPD relative will ensure lots of lurrrve. And abuse. And the best forum ever....

MadameDefarge · 24/04/2013 22:15

damn you, children??? Had no idea!

Sunnywithshowers · 24/04/2013 22:19

MN is a lovely nest of vipers. Grin

Have some more Wine

NoSuchFairytale · 24/04/2013 22:24

LadyMacmuff · 24/04/2013 22:29

LadyMacmuff · 24/04/2013 22:30
