Forgive me if this has been a topic of discussion in the past but following on from a recent thread in the for sale section of MN I was wondering what others thought about this.

It makes me so cross on the for sale board saying "will only sell to or prefer to sell to regular MN" I can understand they don't want any funny business as there has been the odd scammer on here ripping people off, but it puts newer members off asking anything in fear that they will get shunned! And even if you haven't just joined - when is it exactly does one become a "regular" MN?

I have come on here daily for approx 7 months now.... Although I haven't posted on all of the talk boards I have certainly posted on a few in the past and often browse topics similar to ones I may be experienceing at the present for advice. I mainly buy off the for sale board and have sold a couple of bits as well.

I feel there is to much cliqiness amongst the "regulars" which puts off some mums from ever posting.

I think I'm just a sad one that has not much of a RL, living in the middle of a field somewhere in rural France. Thats good enough for me!

I'm disappointed in the buggy lady, the answer wasn't as interesting as it seemed.

vs - i thought it was interesting! Hard to believe you could keep that many in the house - I was sure they'd be in a garage somewhere. It was good you asked actually - if I had been interested in buying one Iwould have been reassured.

lulumama · 20/11/2007 14:10

what was the answer?

NorthernLurker · 20/11/2007 14:18

sorry - my post was quite cryptic wasn't it - she is expecting again and needs to liberate space in her lounge

VictorianSqualor · 20/11/2007 16:33

She's pregnat again, that's it. I could've worked out that much from the OP.

Ha, I have a december baby, and also just realised about an hour ago, that today is exactly 7 years since I went into prem labour with my DD, so I have a nov one too.

VictorianSqualor · 20/11/2007 19:27
