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?

Some lovely old names on here. I joined in 2001. Baby Centre suggestion. My baby is 24 this summer 🙈

People are saying what they see on here and on other platforms. Lots of us have children with additional needs and understand the importance of consent.

Oh god, Lavenderrrr! She was properly bonkers.

SuzyWong, CountessDracula, Hunkermunker, essbee, Snafu, Ladymuck, Marina, Twiglet...many others too. Fun times.

I have been here under various names since 2001 ish. I remember Riven, Willow, Thom Cat, Moon Dog ( so cantankerous), Xenia, Cod Worra and so many more.

More recently Pamela. I think about her, Jacob and Keir often

Wilf's mum's user name was LottieJenkins, but I think she changed it. I heard her speaking on Radio 2 once.

She or Wilf pop up occasionally.

I don’t remember AnyFucker posting without grammar. The opposite in fact but yes direct.

What’s that about DoC? No way, NHS worker.

NorthernLurker?

It was Bananafish81 and I think about her from time to time too. She was really funny and supportive despite her situation. We were on the same threads for a while (I had a different username back then), and most of us were eventually successful in our fertility journeys, but as far as I remember she wasn't. I hope she is doing well and had a happy outcome in the end.

Yes that's who I was thinking of.

Nice to see old times discussed. I'm 21 years in and still think about a lot of these, especially the lovely Pruni, harpsichordcarrier and aloha. I'd guess some drop in and some go cold turkey.

I often wonder how VicarInATutu is doing.. little did I know at the time reading her posts about her boy that one of my child was also autistic.

TDWP - Complete nightmare but often entertaining.

And RIP FluffyDressingGown, you are still missed.

Does anyone remember Mrs Presley? I will never forget her story.

I miss FrannyandZooey

I thought AF was a nurse?

Ah, Pruni was indeed absolutely lovely.

Also Crumbs. I feel sure she was simply someone's exercise in creative writing but so unintentionally funny.

@AnyoneWhoHasAHeart was wondering about Riven too. The whole thread leading up to ‘outing’ her was an absolute train wreck. I remember feeling so sorry for her, the whole thing was totally out of control.

I remember she married and was having ivf?

Xenia has been seen recently on the adult children section

@RitaAndFrank i went to a mn meet up in London and Mhaimi was trying to climb the walls in a bar 🙈

There was a lady called Marslady? She of the lemon drizzle traybake. She wad a nurse.

I can't even remember my old names never mind anyone else's 😀Some do ring a bell but I couldn't independently be able to say someone's name from the past.

😆 Sounds like an interesting night!

Yes, Mars’s Lemon Drizzle cake was apparently legendary.

Lovely young widow with children who eventually remarried a nice chap and had another child. I loved following her story because she was so good natured and could be very humourous

Sorry that was to @LushLemonTart

My faves are the ones who come on with a different name to mention their old name

I went to that one as well. Very odd evening!
