Mumsnet in the Times

Here's a nice article about Mumsnet - make way for the newbies.

And blimey don't Justine and Carrie have a lot of children?

Boysontoast, will you marry me

i think ive given up holding a degree upa s the holy grail of self-worth. have realised i cant be arsed

now i want to do something terribly im pressive anyway and then harp on about how i did it despite not having a degree... lol

As a relative newbie (long-time on and off lurker), It thought it was an excellent piece. Although I occasionally used to search for advice on here - in those panicky PFB days, this place was a life-saver - it was actually CM who made me realise just how f-ing funny this place is.

Of course she was going to write about some of the regulars - it's not up to MN how the piece is written and her editor will have wanted all the "colour" Aitch mentioned. And it's those regulars who do set the tone. What do you want a Netmums blah-blah fest or a place where you're guranteed to laugh out loud at least once a day?

And believe you me, there are HUNDREDS of websites/companies/organisations that are much bigger and more prominent than Mumsnet who would be creaming their pants at having a three page feature in the Times Magazine.

Many a PR person will be getting bollocked on Monday morning for not having the same amount of coverage!

yes tamum. i cant afford a carriage but youll look sweet on a mn/eco friendly bicylce made for 2.

MARTIANBISHOP....sorry to shout and hijack but please could you amble over to Health - I have a quick question about MMR and reaction times and yurt1 said you may be able to help. Thank you

I don't recall saying that at all LittleLapin but then that's happening to me far more frequently these days

aw wabbit, its the nerd part. try rebranding as IT genius or IT superstar... that might wet a few knickers

that's becasue you've got 9 children Justine as we can see from your fotoshoot

no i havent watched cranford either i am afraid it sounded dullsville

arent tnhere always articles about mn

and they are always nice too

no i havnt seen cranford either . all ref's to said go way over my head.

spooky x post

oh i just love being proposed to !

is the diamond reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally big? (what with impressive geneticists paypacket an all) [groin]

ha tamum post conjured up a completely different image to me..think i must have had my romantic genes replaced with filthy ones

Makes me proud to be a MNetter.

i dont think she meant innocent per se, wabbit. more that youre not as diiiiiiiirrrtty as the rest of us them . probably.

I love the [groin], especially in conjunction withzippi's impressively revolting speculations. Yes, it's a diamond, and no, my pay packet is not remotely huge, sadly

I am rofl trying to imagine what a [groin] smiley would look like

Ah but MP I think I have made it my buisness to only ever mention blowjobs (in the context of me giving them anyway) when hiding under one of my impressive list of other names.

On a similar note, DH and I made a plan to have a ritualistic burning of all the home porn pics from years ago in the interest of the kids or grandkids never having to "deal" with them and then need to spend their hardearned cash on therapy. Must get on with that!

and zippi proves my point beautifully !

is mp really a trainee vicar from somerset?

NO
