Just curious really, as to why it might be

Those bloody red socks are everywhere!!

BTW, if anyone is looking for somewhere different to have a fabulous meal at, I can't recommend The Three Blackbirds at Woodditton highly enough. They're very much back at the top of their game.

cbmum which nursery, A or B?

Well, if it's sunny today, I'll be at Jesus Green playground after school. Just sayin...

OOh I know the Missing Sock! (only by driving past, never been in!)

However I have never been to Milton Country Park

lynniep · 02/03/2012 10:26

I never post in local. But I'm not in Cambridge, I'm in Cambridgeshire (very near flowery actually!)

magpieC · 02/03/2012 10:34

I'm in central Cambridge too. Met my first RL MNer on Tues as we'd both posted on one of the local threads about swimming :)

FruitShootsAndHeaves · 02/03/2012 10:37

I'm not in Cambridge or Cambridgeshire, I am a gatecrasher from Suffolk, but I only live 30 mins from Cambridge so I stick my nose in include myself on Cambridge threads!

sairygamp · 02/03/2012 11:17

This is all very mysterious and exciting isn't it?! I buy Fruit Shoots in pubs sometimes :(

ohmygoshandgolly · 02/03/2012 11:26

Hello all!

I know a couple of MNers and am always suspecting others. I think my part of town is full of them...

sairygamp · 02/03/2012 11:28

gis a clue where you are then.....Grin

ohmygoshandgolly · 02/03/2012 11:31

the 'dodgy' part of town that is always described as 'eclectic' and 'unique'.

I love it!

thereonthestair · 02/03/2012 11:32

I live and work within 10 minutes walk of both the train station and central Cambridge, but I don't want my real and virtual lives to collide. So you may well know me, and you could work out who I was from my posts, but I'd rather you didn't

fluffywhitekittens · 02/03/2012 11:43

I'm in East Cambs, but do venture out of the Fens and not Cambridge every so often :)

I know people in my village and some friends use mumsnet but I don't know their mn names.

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 02/03/2012 11:47

you in a village fluffy?

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 02/03/2012 11:49

sorry, just realised you may want to stay anon Grin

fluffywhitekittens · 02/03/2012 11:54

I am in a village just outside Ely :)
And my previous post should read into Cambridge not, not ...
I went to sixth form in Cambridge and used to work in Woolworths tea bar back in the day :)

eau, unless you've namechanged you're not the neighbour I meant, but you could be a different one! Exciting!

Milton CP on April Fool's Day works for me. How shall those of us without a MN scarf identify ourselves? A Fruit Shoot in our buttonhole?

Fishandjam · 02/03/2012 14:30

trills, I commute Huntingdon to Cambridge so don't feel it's a long way away - though the A14 can sometimes persuade me otherwise!

flowery · 02/03/2012 15:40

Are you my neighbour fishandjam...? It wouldn't surprise me, I make no attempt to conceal my identity!

Hooferoo · 02/03/2012 15:45

I always wondered this too. I tend to frequent BC, and only ever met one mum who uses it. I know a couple who use MN. One had a hard time over a personal issue. I don't know about the other one. Plenty of NTC mums though.

bonkersLFDT20 · 02/03/2012 15:53

Fruit Ooooo, I think you live near me!

I don't know anyone IRL who hangs about on MN.
