HOW TO SPOT A MN-THINK IM ONTO SUMT

[chocabloc]

AM I REALLY A NUT CASE? LOL!
maybe you would all think this is odd, but its a lovely litte forum happening here! i know i would hve loved this kind of network when i was preg, or didnt kno who to turn to, so its time to spread the word to everyone u know who would benefit i also thought that maybe we could all wear a special ribbon ( or anything universal and inexpensive) to show who we are?

as im starting to lokk at parents, or people that lokk like parents ?? And think, maybe i talked to them last night, is that weird, am i alone in thinking that? maybe tie sumt to ur pushchair, ribbon is inexpensive, and tie some to your pushchair, that way we could talk, ONLY IF WE ANTED TO _) or even just say hi, then you would know someone else locally, and maybe in another town what dya think!

ribbon is a good idea, actually.

I like the fact that Mn is somewhere that I can come away from the rest of my life so no I wouldn't be up for that. You can buy t shirts and stuff from the MN shop if you want to be a public MN'er!

there is a MN shop???

I'd rather not have people i know well in rl reading up on me here.
Have a feeling my xp2 is around already though!

thanks colditz! ok floss and quootie, didnt know teir was a shop?

but what about when people meet up, surley all anomity is lost! its nie to meet new people! but i can see whre ur coming from, nobodys knows u and u can say what u like! ill just spill most things to people, whats the worse they can do judge me/ u neve a know what goes on behind closed doors.... each 2 their own XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Meeting MNers is different though because they have already seen your posts! Anyone i know in rl hasn't.(as far as i know)

yeah but I SAW, they would not know hich name u went over, and most of us dont go into detail, so it would be impossible ish!??????

I can't find it actually - they are linked with kiddicare now. They used to do t shirts and knickers and stuff - honestly!!!

there was a woman in starbucks in solihull the other week who ihad down as a MNer - dontknow why really. She had a lovely little (big) baby boy and was appeared to be a Starbucks regular from her advice on what was or wasnt good to eat there

yeah BUT I SAW What diff wud it make, cos u dnt know mn's b4, and u dont know the people in ur area either, maybe, they could end up being a gud m8 of urs?? PLEASE SORRY, APPARENTLY IVE BECOME V DICTATING SINCE MY DS, IM NOT FORCING NE1, JUST SHOWING WHAT GUD CUD COME OUT OF IT?

thanks JAMPOTS! So im not going crazy then1 , u just get this feeling and then just smile, its nice i think, with all the wrongness hapnin in the world!

Ive put photos on members profile so anyone who knew me would soon know its me!
I'd love to meet some MNers in my area though.

And maybe JAMPOTS if peole dont want to be idenified, which is hard?? then if u see her again, maybe u could mention the site, u neva know she may need the company, she mayb crying inside, or she may be on top of th world!

SPREAD THE WORD LADIES, DNT KEEP IT TO URSELF! xx

i've met hunkermunker and thats it.

i'm not sure i would like to use ribbon tied to buggies as a sign i am a mumsnetter, as my buggies tend to have ribbons, hair bands etc round the handles anyway, as with 3 girls, one will always pull them out of their hair.

WELL I SAW, i started a thread for peole in my area, specic area, but had no reply! but there is one for surrounding areas, so maybe do that! cos its nie when u hava cov with a random person/ parent then may appreciate the company and a new local freind1 but then u neva see them again, is such a shame1 but then u cant just say! "HEY WANNA HOOK UP SUMTIME"

so this could be the way around it, a simple ribbon on ur puschair? or any suggestions guys,
START A THREAD AND SEE WHAT HAPPNS, NUTN 2 LOSE?

i am easily identifable anyway by my family situation and if you see my dh out and about you;d know. as he is apparently the only LVAD patient at home long term with his kind of machine.

Sorry but I'm not all that good with txt speak - I'm struggling to understand here.

I know there are a few sort of close by but without transport its not easy for me to get anywhere.Local meet up to me is doing a without children one which i can't do because i have no-one who can have my 4!

WELL MISDEE! what wud u suggest/ ACTUALL........... i do have teddys,( hat from summer, just pulled of today \and shopping , brolly ahnging off their, maybe a badge, i duuno>>>>>

i just want to stay a little bit annoyamous. the mumsnet shop sells stuff that make you very identifiable if you wante to be.

flossam, raed it out aloud1 not being funny it shud (should ) make sense then!

sorry miss d dont know what lvad is?

sorry, its a left ventriculat assist device. its an artificial heaart, big box on wheels, very noisy and very noticable.

www.waitingforthecall.blogspot.com has loads of stuff on it, its our blog.

i saw! my ds is 2, and he hasnt had a baysitter yet, as i have freinds and family closeby! but cudnt u have them all in bed, and get a baysitter, nkow their not cheap, but some people share them etc??? THEN GO ALL OUT! if not im sure if u go to your council, they could organise respite, cos u do need a break, if their is absolutley nobody to lend a hand, if i was near/ could drive, id cum cu!

Ahh misdee, must be even more of a challenge! cant say i know hwta its like! but my older brother has learning difficultes and it can be v isolating, it breaks my heart! where abouts u frm?
