Mumsnet in the news again....

In the Sunday Telegraph!

Cannot for the life of me find a link to it on the net, but will post as soon as i do!

It mentions the Pirate sex thread as if it was a serious thread....

No mention of Fanjo though!!!

Thanks kelly...you're a star!!

I am in the cafe of a hotel logging in to see what people were saying about the article

I had no idea people didn't know what my name meant

thought the article was quite good, very positive about the site

I have loads of gossip especially about NQC'S FABBO HOUSE

oops sorry and her dh is gorgeous as well

ps Greeny is sitting on the pc next to mine and our dps are being quite rude about our little 'addiction'

This fame lark has really gone to her head you know, she has been unbearable since yesterday

I read it last night in bed, in the Stella magazine bit which I always enjoy.
Good comment about some mothers not coming on until after 6 like their mothers deciding not to have the first G&T until after 6pm.

I actually live in a small rat-infested shed. Don't believe anything else Franny says. She never even did the eyeball challenge!

(I am slightly ruined from last night, sadly, and eating leftover bread and butter pudding.)

"a fascinating insight into the life of the British middle-class mummy."

Well at least that puts a stop to that discussion then. We're all middle-class.... apparently.

And bugger I'll have to think up a more literary name....

joelallie - we do sound rather like Country and Western singers adrift in a sea of literary quinoa eating yummy mummie...

I think my name is pretty bloody kulchered too

pmsl at Emmylou and joelallie being C&W singers....

where's Billy-bob

Like to think that Orlando wasn't mentioned as it's just too highbrow a literary reference...

Orlando the marmalade cat?

'S'OK I know what it really refers too.....I'm kulchered me.

I don't have the norks to be a c&w singer. Nor the voice for that matter.... Maybe I'll have to be reborn as something else.

If not norks or voice you could at least have the boots. Are cowboy boots still in this year?

Don't have them either. Will wellies do?

Hmmm. Yes, at a pinch. Do you remember The Worzels?

My Boden Sassy jeans query is in the article

[/boast]

Yeah! I do. They come from round here . Shall I just run with the straw in the hair and string round the trousers idea then?

Okay. But maybe to add a special mumsnet twist you should make sure the trousers are Boden sassy jeans. (If NDP says they're alright-- what did the thread conclude?)

Ms March won't come to a meet-up in case other Mners remember that she digs dirty kecks out of the wash basket... but she tells the whole country via a national newspaper that she does the aforementioned... under her real name? I think not...!!!

".... straps babies to rockets and fires them into southern lebanon"

Oh PMSL-and-buy-me-some-Tenalady...!!! I missed that comment orignally!! ! That's hilarious!

And what's so baffling about such basic acronyms as DH, DS etc..??! All the forums use them....!

(But I liked the article over all.. and the fact that I can lump myself in with all those middle class high income mums.. when I'm actually "working class but benefit claiming [currently] only high-school ecucated scum")

I think the general concensus was that the jeans are ok but nothing special.

Perfect for joelallie's Worzel vibe then. Thank you.

OMG I'm famous . But can I just state that whilst I know theoretically how to get 6 wears out of a G-string, I have never actually done it.

I demand to know exactly how.. and to avoid being minging! The string can only go up your bum crack can't it????
