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?

Definitely remember Anyfucker and Worra. I remember thinking this must be like their full time job. But on a thread about 6 years ago Anyfucker give me some of the best, direct advice I've ever had and I still think about it regularly. It honestly saved my marriage. (Even though I probably wasn't the most fond of her otherwise!)

That was so sudden and sad.

We had a few overseas members, warm climates, beaches, wonderful foods, lifestyle. I used to enjoy those threads.

Loved Cod - so funny! Wonder where Marsmum is - she was cool

Wilf lives in the area I used to live in Kent, he is in his 20s and lives a happy life , and is very popular in the community

AnyFucker still posts

I'm still in touch with Riven. The Child's still in and out of hospital, now a young adult against all the odds. Riven still can't rely on carers turning up, is still battling her own health problems and periodically 'disappears' for long periods.

I was in touch with Hully and others on various channels for years after the moldie debacle, but it was all fragmented and sort of fizzled out. I bet some have stayed firm friends, though.

Who was the poster with the brown decor? I liked her!

There was also one from Silverdale (or might’ve had a second home there).

I rarely enjoy trolls, but her and Norland Nanny/Miss Loadsmoney were very entertaining for a while. No one tries to be entertaining anymore in their colossal BSing. I blame the cost of living making it too unbelievable.

@Izzy24 really? I haven't noticed her in ages!

Zombie. She was absolutely lovely to me when I was a naive —twat— newbie. I wish I’d chatted more with her when she was alive.

Ah ffs, messed up the strikethrough. I should just give up now.

Getorfmyland (Sp?). Is she still around?

True. Zombie was lovely.

I'm newish to Mumsnet so have no-one to reminisce about, but believe I know what Wilf you are talking about.

I've seen him post his love for Percy Pig in some Facebook groups (like extreme couponing), he seems to have a FB presence.

Cat Keith thief or very similar died really young 😥

I was just going to mention Zombie, @ScrambledSmegs! Do you recall when she drove through the night to rescue a poster trying to leave a violent partner? Everyone was telling her not to, asking MNHQ to call the police (!?!) and many being quite horrible to her. She saved the woman 🤗

Came to say the same thing

Lily007, she was so inspiring. Her DH of 20
odd years left for his affair partner and she just left him to it. A lady with such grace and dignity.

I liked Marmalade Twatkins’ posts. I hope Daughter Drowning In Junk is okay, I still think about her.

Me neither. Been here years ( can't remember that either)
For me the predicable posters are the worse bit. I enjoy the variety of opinion from randoms.

Me too! I almost always agreed with her.

There’s nothing wrong with remembering women who’ve advised and supported each other in moments of need.

I've been posting under one account/username or other for the best part of 12 years now. Hate the thought of being identified so change names and accounts regularly. Half these 'famous' names were extremely rude when I posted a list of food id eaten prior to having an upset stomach and embarrassing occurrence happened to me requiring me to need to change clothes (a repeat occurrence in my life at the time). Ended up with the thread taken down by Mumsnet due to the pile on and mass reports insisting 'they could always tell who was a troll, OG posters always know' etc. Well - they couldn't tell. I was and still am a genuine person who has thankfully since discovered that dairy was the culprit.

Misdee’s husband is still with us. She’s a superstar:)
