Just killed my first thread in mumsnet - do I win an award?

[Redtartanlass]

Only been on mumsnet for about 4 weeks and have just killed a thread. I wonder what other hurdles to I have to lok forward to before loosing the cloak of newness!!

no..killing threads should just about do it..you need to kill a few more though!

i am a thread killer.

thread killing, and getting caught up in the breastfeeding/bottlefeeding threads.

both rites of passage.

Redtartanlass - you've got to have a flounce to lose the newbie cloak.

oh yes i forgot flouncing..or is it ferrrrlouncing toothache??

4 weeks before you killed one I look back through "threads I am on" and it is full of ones with me as the last one.

You have to flounce, then start a thread announcing you are flouncing, then have hundreds begging you to stay - and then you can shed the cloak of newness.

And weaning threads!

Spacecadet - If redtartanlass is Scottish as her name suggests..... then it's most definitely a >Ferrrrrrrrrlounce

Would that not be ferrrrllllooooonce though Toothache?

ok what's the flouncing bit. I thought I'd have to fall out with a couple of people as part of my iniation, or is mumsnet too nice for playground bitching, that i've heard happenns on other websites!

Myturn - It very much depends on which part of Gods Country you're from. Anything North of Dundee would be a Ferrrrrlooooonce. But in the Central Belt its most certainly a Ferrrrrlounce (quite posh actually).

Depends whereabouts in Scotland she comes from...we don't all have Glasgie accents! Welcome, Redtart - oh, another thing to look forward to are the heated debates about whether MN is cliquey or not, and the threads were WW3 breaks out, the posts get reeeeeally vicious and the insults get hurled - and no-one knows quite why! Good if there's nothing on the telly

ex tayport so Ferrrrrlounce it is then!!

I think you're passed the initiation...... your posting name has already been affectionately shortened to 'Redtart'!!

Great! Being from the Central Belt I must be posh then hooray! (Yes, I would pronounce it ferrrrlounce...)

Where Myturn??? And why didn't you come to the Meet-up in Edinburgh today? Hmmm?????

Thing I can?t believe is how bloody highly additive it is!

RTL - oh yes, and there is no cure for MN addiction...

Toothache, I am full of the cold - you would not thank me for coming and infecting you all. Next time though... did it go well?

The cold must be spreading and multiplying through the central belt...I feel like crap tonight with one. Actually, it might be flu.

Message withdrawn

Not at all! Just that everyone south of the border thinks that everyone in Scotland has one

truthfully though, oldtimers ....how many hours a day/week are you logged onto mumsnet.
