I am 13 miles north of Cambridge and have a few mumsnet mates. I have 2 mumsnet scarves and haven't spotted anyone else wearing one.

Grin fruitshoots. That made me laugh

I spotted an MN scarf once, in purple, but was too far away to do anything about it.

I'm in central Cambridge! Never admitted to anyone that I go on mn though, and rarely post on the local board.

I must activate my profile page - I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE!

I'm in a south cambs village. I wear my (brown) MN scarf in the school playground sometimes and nobody has ever given me a secret sign. Sad

DD only has fruitshoots (or is it frootshoots?) -when she bullies me into submission-- once in a blue moon though.

BarbaraWoodlouse · 01/03/2012 20:22

Bugger, strike out fail. I've clearly outed myself as a non-academic genius type then Grin

sairygamp · 01/03/2012 20:28

there, I have outed myself Grin have a real l fe profile!

Lilymaid · 01/03/2012 20:29

Also in a village to the south of Cambridge - though am, sadly, MN scarfless.

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 01/03/2012 20:29

I knew you were all out there somewhere!

I keep on telling people that I go on a parenting forum to see if anyone bites.. the only one who did asked me if it was the elimination communication forum..hmm no.. but I did use washable nappies (aware for most pathetic answer goes to ME!!)

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 01/03/2012 20:29

not public Sairy

overmydeadbody · 01/03/2012 20:31

sairygump your profile page isn't public yet, I cannot see anything

MN scarf is an animal-print style scarf you can buy on Ebay in a number of colours. I don't own one myself.

I wonder if I know you softsheen?

no mn scarf just 2 boisterous boys and a haggard mother desperately trying not to be "the shouty mum"

Lyftiduft · 01/03/2012 20:46

I'm north of Cambridge nearer Norfolk probably. A meet up would be a great idea I think...

ChasingSquirrels · 01/03/2012 20:54

Cambs village here too - Swaffhams, and work in Newmarket.

TheFowlAndThePussycat · 01/03/2012 20:58

I'm another N Cambridge village resident - I know looooads of people who read mumsnet, but mostly lurkers I think. I don't have a scarf though and my kids drink fruitshoots quite regularly so I expect to have my registration cancelled pretty soon.

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 01/03/2012 21:00

TheFowl do we know each other?

TheFowlAndThePussycat · 01/03/2012 21:24

I don't know NKU, I have 2 dds, 4yo & 2yo, one brunette, one blond - does that help?

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 01/03/2012 21:26

ah not 2 little blondies then?? would have been wierd to meet 2 of my friends on here

springlenner · 01/03/2012 21:32

I'm in Cambridge. DS is in, I believe, a quite MNetty school. I don't unfortunately have a MN scarf. And have only once met a "known" MNetter. Ahhh! This is very cathartic, almost like AA Grin

TheFowlAndThePussycat · 01/03/2012 21:32

No, one of each Grin I looked at your profile & your cakes are amazing! I do a bit of cake decorating myself but you are clearly a pro!

GrouchingTiggerHiddenSomething · 01/03/2012 21:34

I'm in central Cambridge - have only just joined MN though so am still finding my feet - mostly I lurk

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 01/03/2012 21:34
