And in what capacity? So it could be someone you just think seems really nice, and you could chat and have tea together. Or someone fun for drinks and going out. Somebody with whom you'd like to have a good debate and set the world to rights. A Mumsnetter you'd like to go shopping with, as you like the sound of their style. Or a wise, kindly soul whose advice you would unashamedly seek! An ideal dinner party guest, perhaps?
Looking forward to reading your replies (have name-changed though, as it just felt a bit awkward using my own!). I must confess to being shockingly unobservant when it comes to names on here, even if I have received some wonderful replies and perspectives over the years.

Let the unmumsnetty love commence! Grin

This is a bit old school, isn't it? I thought the days of sucking up to the yummy mummies on here were long gone.
FWIW, I've met tons of Mners from the old days. The least notable online were the nicest. The big cheeses less so. And, sorry to say, those local to me were markedly average. I can say all this because no- one knows me from a pile of poop these days.

Totally agree. Does feel a bit old girls fam club.
Mean girls style.

This is great because of none of these names mean anything to hardly anyone.

x2boys · 16/02/2024 18:42

This is in the same vein as who is your favourite mimsnetter
The same names popped up every time 🙄

Porfirio · 16/02/2024 18:42

ScottishMummy was the best.

IncompleteSenten · 16/02/2024 18:44

I'd like to meet the ones I've argued with.
We can duke it out 😂

Errr what ain't this an anonymous forum

Toddlerteaplease · 16/02/2024 18:46

@BaroqueInterlude Cheddar is definitely available for cuddles. Penelope may be amenable. I'm in the East Midlands if that's any good?!

SpringIsJustAboutSprung · 16/02/2024 18:47

I’ve met a few Mnetters over the years I’ve been on here, all lovely people and we still regularly meet up. I stayed away from some of the ‘well known’ ones on here, I agree with @Nightblindness some of the well known names weren't so nice in real life.

idliketogetdownnow · 16/02/2024 18:47

I'd like to meet @Otherpeoplemanage who was having a very rough patch with her mental health a few months ago. I still think about her and hope she's ok.

GoodOldEmmaNess · 16/02/2024 18:47

I never notice anyone's names anymore. Bit sad really.

TakeMeToKernow · 16/02/2024 18:47

I would like SoupDragon to wingman me through every awkward encounter.

I would like to have a cuppa with Catlady(?) and Mini to see if they’re okay these days

peachgreen · 16/02/2024 18:50

I only remember the annoying ones.

Deliadidit · 16/02/2024 18:53

70isalimitnotatarget because they seem to like a lot of the the same things that I like, and I enjoy their posting style.

Formerly Hectate - I should think they go by a different name now, but years ago when I was on Mumsnet a lot, Hectate was a very prolific poster and was always interesting and fair.

I would have loved to meet Bluntness

Ugh, she was bloody awful.

stopmefeelingsick · 16/02/2024 18:56

@Babyroobs for always giving such amazing advice about benefits. It's such a minefield and she/he has been really helpful so many times.

MargaretThursday · 16/02/2024 18:56

Mitmoo.

That's me banned then. 🤣

Can't remember what the fuss was about, but I remember it being very funny.

Yeah, everyone sucking up to the mean girl clique.

CreateHope · 16/02/2024 19:02

@Nightblindness I agree - I was here back in the days and it wasn’t pleasant.

I met some a while back - became very very close friends with one, our kids grew up together. Then she died 😢😢. Miss her so much x

MermaidEyes · 16/02/2024 19:04

I recognise a lot of regular usernames but I wouldn't want to meet any of them in real life because someone's style of posting on an anonymous forum doesn't actually tell you anything about what they may be like in real life. I would like to be nosey and know who might live in my town though!

ooooohnoooooo · 16/02/2024 19:06

@peachgreen because we knew each other from Twitter IRL and have never met.

She's utterly lovely.

I NC a while ago after one of my posts blew up but I'm sure peach knows who I am.

My lovely SIL is on here too but that's cheating !

Februaryfeels · 16/02/2024 19:07

I think most people name change regularly now

I've been to a meet up and met some nice and some not so nice but I only remember the name of the annoying one. She still posts about her DS and how much she knows about education BlushConfused.

I hate these thinly veiled suck up threads

ooooohnoooooo · 16/02/2024 19:07

Oh and if I'm allowed an additional please can I meet @fiveyearsleft.

She kept me sane with her witty posts when meno insomnia was taking over my life. She's so funny too.
