How do you imagine the average Mumsnetter to be?

[mycatisannoying]

• Sensible
• Sensible clothing
• Frugal with money
• Disapproving of trivialities, such as spending too much on Christmas presents or cosmetics
• Assertive
• Will say 'no' for the sake of it sometimes
• Uncompromising
• Very high expectations in relationships
• Intelligent

Any others?

I actually think mumsnet is pretty diverse, it's one of the reasons I like it

I don't mean diverse in the new narrow sense like just race and sexuality... I mean diversity of thought, opinion and values

Thanks for taking this thread in the (semi) tongue-in-cheek way it was intended!
Goodness, yes, there will be many UK cottage holidays. Or camping ones in France.

I’d be so interested in a MN survey of “average” in a nosy but lighthearted way.

Obviously it would be completely factual too!

God yes, absolute wedding hatred.
And not too keen on the in-laws either ...
