To wonder what happened to these old Mumsnetters?

[Kallabra]

There was Kewcumber who adopted from abroad as a single lady, there was a mum who always talked about her son Wilf, and there was a very direct, blunt and often right woman who I think wrote with no punctuation, who seemed to be on every thread and gave me lots of harsh truths! Going back a good decade now…

Anyone know what happened to them? Anyone else you wonder about?

So did I. Found her really unpleasant actually.

I've skimmed through the thread and surprised at how many old names I recognised! Was quite nice really! I'm happy being more anonymous though personally.

Is Xenia still around? She's from my local area I think judging by the schools she always talks about. I wonder if I've met her IRL

I agree, I was on the end of a particularly vicious take down one day. Completely uncalled for as I dared to disagree and as she was a household name I was ganged up on. Mean.

Placemarking to see if anyone mentions my name.

I remember most of these names under my previous guises. Izzyizin game me wonderful support when I found out my partner was leading a double life. She was brilliant ❤️

I made friends with and met up with a fantastic group of women on the recurrent miscarriage boards… At least twenty of us and every one of us went on to have at least one child :)

Yes she’s still here and posting every few days recently.

Does anyone remember @Firesgoneoutshe was fabulous. There you go - sorted it for you!

OP who mentioned someone posting without grammar - do you mean mrsjay? Sure I saw her here recently?

Was Scottish mummy the same one who said she was Calvin Harris’s sister?

That’s a shame. I didn’t necessarily agree with her at times but she came across as a level headed person…unusual on MN !!

This was my first thought too.

Maybe don’t read them?

yes I remember AnyFucker

Yes, I remember Pamela.

Also, I think, bloodywhitecat? I think she was a fosterer and I believe her husband died? I think of her often.

I don’t often look at usernames tbh but Anyfucker and bluntness always stood out.

2shoes was lovely.

Lang Cleg was magnificent on women’s rights. I hope she’s still here under a new name.

I hope Bluntness is ok. I always liked her posts and advice.
I hope it's just that she changed her names on here.

I remember when people were losing loved ones and were unable to see elderly relatives in care homes, she started a very tone deaf thread moaning about not being able to visit her holiday home.

I think sadly it turned a few of her 'loyal followers' against her.

Wasn’t BoF gorgeous?

The painting her talented DH did of her it the most romantic lovely thing I can think of.

She was also shit hot on safeguarding.
She apparently upset someone/people at Mumsnet Towers and was permanently banned.
I don't know any more but i think it is unlikely she would be allowed back, even if she wanted to be.

Yes me too. Was thinking about her the other day.

There was an author whose book I bought and enjoyed. I've forgotten their name now

Oh jesus christ, ALWAYSRIGHT was the single worst human being I've ever come across, I left BC because I could not stand to see her name anymore. Please say she doesn't lurk here.

GetOrfMyLand?

<old>

Does anyone remember the red toothbrush lady?

I think she was fleeing an abusive situation and had a very specific style of writing

I remember bluntnes!
For sheer sharpness tempered by humanity it would have to be Bertrand Russell.
She always had an interesting perspective and managed to have an edginess without meanness. I haven’t seen posts from her for years though think I may detect her humour in some
