This isn't meant for posts or chat, just for off-thread tidying really.

The current list, I've gone halphabetical, kept Head Girl at top tho . I just know I've made some mistakes or missed people off.

Add/delete/amend, you know the score.

Missing persons you know who you are- where are you??? Come back! Post anything, small or large, trivial or earth-shattering.

it looks like you are questioning our credentials....how very dare you!
Only joking - thanks for doing the admin, MrsS
Could you maybe have me as Japan, as I do not actually live in Tokyo? (50kms southwest of Tokyo to be exact...)

SuperBunny · 25/09/2008 02:25

Good idea, thanks MrsS

Welcome ZamMummy - look forward to your first post on the proper thread. You could write what I know about Zambia on half a postage stamp.

Yup. Still here.
Nothing coherent to post. Being very emotional at the moment, and have to find work. And I am behind in my current job. It shucks a little at the moment.

teafortwo · 25/09/2008 21:36

Oh I am loving the foocing admin - Just called dh through screaming "BEERFORTWO BEEEEEEERRRRFORRRRRRTWOOOO - look look loooook at how many foocs there are now!!!"

He looked a bit confused.... read the list and went "WOW! Impressive!"

Oh and pssssssssssssssttt... did anyone else think that ninedragons was robbed??? - I REALLY thought she would be quote of the week this week in the Mumsnet e-mail- the posts she made on what it is like to be a Mother in China right now - completely human - completely overwhelmingly heart touching! If you are reading this, ninedragons, your my quote of the week anyway!

SuperBunny · 26/09/2008 00:45

Califrau, I did think of doing that

Well there is a spreadsheet in 'My Docs'... [geeeeeeeeeeeek]

Imagine the arguments about whether India is Asia or a category of its own.

SuperBunny · 26/09/2008 01:22

And what would you put first? The US thread was easy - start on the East Coast, north to south, then move west just like the Pioneers

dooneygirl · 26/09/2008 03:51

Can I join you all? Or is Oregon too boring? Actually don't answer that, I'm sure it is.

Ozziegirly · 26/09/2008 07:31

Can I join too - I'm in Sydney. (Originally from UK)

frannikin · 26/09/2008 14:22

And may I come along, although not actually a mummy? I'm a governess in Paris.

WelliesAndPyjamas · 26/09/2008 14:26

frannikin, now then, your last sentence alone is a thread in the making

MrsSprat, good work. Approved. Although perhaps for extra practice you could place us in regional order...
