Hello newbies and lurkers!
Actually I'm a lurker really, but I do peek my head out and post occasionally and everyone is lovely!

I lurked since 2011, when we decided to try for a baby in 2012. Finally had the guts to post when DD1 came along in 2014 and am now also the proud owner of DD2 for good measure.
I have laughed, cried (and laughed until I've cried), worried for people's safety, health and sanity, been told off like a naughty school kid and had some cracking advice. All from a bunch of strangers. Can't beat it (so join it!)

I've been lurking for a while and have now joined 
. I already spend too much time on Facebook should I be worried about even more time wasted on here?

Welcome all, I've not been on mumsnet long, but so glad I joined. The advice and the laughs you get on here are amazing.
If you want to start somewhere check the classics out, that's where I started. Just brilliant

Hi to all you lurkers and new members. It took me a month of lurking before I plucked up the courage to join and post, but really glad I did - I've had some great advice and lots of laughs.

Hello 
another long time lurker/very occasional poster here. Coming out of hiding with the hope of getting my hands on a mug

Hello lurkers... don't give me a mug I like to pretend I have never heard of mumsnet.
