Shiney is the boss around here and makes sure everyone is feeling welcome, thread number 18 sure says a lot!

All welcome, its not just diet talk either, mucho chatting and gossip too

Well with your experience Shiney I will take that as a glowing review

HolyGuacamole · 12/09/2009 00:12

Trills, again, I agree with Shiney. He is being open about this and sounds like he is probably being led a bit. Get this friendship out in the open and take the mystery out of it.

OK, I have logged in and taken my picture down from Twitter. In fact, I'm closing it right now. I can't fucking believe this. Really sorry for the language.

You could ask mnhq to delete your posts- they might do it if you are under threat in RL? It depends what she will do with the info? Does she know you are on MN though? She might have just found a mutual friend on twitter and traced you that way...

TrillianAstra · 12/09/2009 00:15

That is annoying HG. Did anything on your Twitter mention MN? Is she likely to follow you here?

I really don't know. I don't think she knows I am on MN, it's been a great hideout for me. She has found me before elsewhere and in the past I've had to threaten her with the Police. Long story.

I was wondering if Twitter was like FB and that maybe she has my address in her email from all that time ago and maybe Twitter tried to match it up or something ....but then she wouldn't know that address. I've not been on my Twitter for months. Have closed it now.

You'll be happy to know that googling your MN name does not bring up MN on the first page of hits.

TrillianAstra · 12/09/2009 00:24

Off to bed now I think. Night.

HolyGuacamole · 12/09/2009 00:28

Night Trills.

I am going to namechange.

DreamsInBinary · 12/09/2009 00:31

Off to bed, too.

Night all.

Give us a twirl tomorrow HG. Or maybe it's better not to? Do come back in some guise or another, and hope it all turns out OK.

DreamsInBinary · 12/09/2009 00:37

Holy, I think I can see your Twitter page. Did you tweet about apologising?

DreamsInBinary · 12/09/2009 00:39

Just realised how weird that sounded. I'm not trying to add to your list of stalkers .

DreamsInBinary · 12/09/2009 00:41

Really going to bed now. Night

BitOfFun · 12/09/2009 00:46

Night all

ABitWrong · 12/09/2009 03:26

HG - namechange and set up a new account on MN. Set up a new email account on hotmail or something, and put in a fake postcode and use that for all your online dealings - FB, twitter, MN etc. - that you don't want to be traceable.

And make sure you tell us who you are!

FlamingoBingo · 12/09/2009 08:01

ABW - I am so, so glad you came back and got enough support to survive the night.

Please, please try calling samaritans next time, before you get drunk. They are very good at talking you up from the pits of despair.

And get some help from your GP asap!

Morning Cinders and Shine.

Shine - I was all set to cyber-yell at that bint last night, but thought she would disappear faster if we all ignored her and she was just randomly posting.

I suggest that if we have a rude idiot like that again, we just all report her but not say, just ignore, ignore, ignore.

FlamingoBingo · 12/09/2009 08:03

Oh, and my rocketmail address seems to not be working because I didn't use it for 35 minutes or some ridiculously short time, and I can't seem to reactivate it. I hope no one's emailed me on it for ages!

Have got a new one, and a new facebook page - can you add me to the cult? Flamingobingo Mumsnet is my facebook name and if you takethe caps and spaces out and add 'at hotmail dot com' to the end, that's my email address.

LovelyLulu · 12/09/2009 08:14

Morning all .... second day of healthy eating and exercise plan!

Flam, I agree with what you said about unpleasant person with problem. I did just that.

How are you today?

FlamingoBingo · 12/09/2009 08:18

I'm ok so far, Lulu, thank you. Except I did have a brief moment of self-dislike earlier on, when I remembered something I'd said the other day about DH that could have been really disloyal. Sometimes the moments of self-dislike signal a returning for my black dog.

However, I wrote a note to DD1 and put it by her pillow with the rainbow magic books box set I got her from freecycle and had a nice 'I am a nice mum' moment when I did that - hopefully it cancelled the negative feeling out!

DD1 came down ten minutes later having woken up and discovered her note and pressie and gave me a huge cuddle and said thank you

Good luck with your day 2, Lulu - remind me how much you have to lose?

LovelyLulu · 12/09/2009 08:27

Winston Churchill had a black dog as well!

I did a parenting course recently, and we were advised to replace negative self-talk with a positive one, it sounds like you are doing really well. Also, I can blow little things well out of proportion, also advice was to stop and think - "will this be a problem when I am old or in a few days time?"

That is so lovely what you did with dd, the next time I feel I've messed things up will try that.

I keep meaning to go on freecycle, perhaps good for raffle prizes. I still do dd's pre-school committee.

I have 2 and a half stone to lose.

TheMitsubishiWarrioress · 12/09/2009 08:32

Maybe Mr Trill is privately concerned that if the two of you get to know each other she will make a hit on you Trill.

She is a bit out of order and I would push for the two of you to meet. She must realise that he will talk to you. That is what most couples do. Invite her to dinner with a friendly note.

Ummmm, a round up.

I'll try and do this one from memory.

Pixie, Buda, 1stbabyboyjoy, iggi

Plumprumps is doing her blackbelt and does a lot of furniture polishing.

Naughtyalice is getting a kitten.

Some of us are kicking the Hairy Arse of the Black Dog, who seems to have a voracious appetite, but he is doomed, doomed I tell you. Especially ABW's for whom we all send really special fighting the BD vibes.

Old timers jet and jaq popped in.

SHINEY ADMITTED SHE HAD ONCE EATEN AN APPLE.

Oh god..

Some people are cutting out smoking, and coffee if you want to join them, and () is doing the exercise challenge, so if you want to be on her list give he a wave.

There has been some mild 'diva-ish' behaviour from people who have been accidentally omitted from lists or think they have been 'forgotten'

Just remember girls, you are all loved equally by mamashiney.

Oh this is mad.. OK I cheated and used an extra tab and I've only got to page 5 .

Where do you want me to put the recipe link and do you want it to have a snappy title?

I am TMW by the way and I have about 1/2 st to lose but am trying to get back to good eating habits that developed when my own black gog gave me the run around.

DRINK MORE WATER!!
