You know you are an old hand on Mumsnet when...

[marthamoo]

You can do links without reading the instructions.

In 'normal' emails you type [ grin ] without thinking

that will be me then

use dd, ds and dh in rl and rl friends have no idea what you are talking about.

You can't be bothered to click on yet another parp subject thread even though it's ratcheted up 100 posts within 20 minutes.

um, you like cod no offence intended.

x-posts MT

when conversations in real life start with..."well WigWamBam says..."

When DH and Brother both tell you in the same day that if another conversation starts with "on Mumsnet today" they will go mad.

ditto flutterbee

You read posts and know who is going to come on to that thread and slate it!

lmao tipex, good idea apart from I'm on maternity leave at the moment, "what about I heard on the radio today"

Meeeeeeeee then

God yes, I am the same, I am almost embarrased to say it now!! The other day I was chatting to my sisters about Celebrity BB and they said 'I thought you didn't watch it?' to which I replied 'Oh I don't I just read about it on Mumsnet'

Also now if DH sees me on the pc he says "let me guess Mumsnet" in a really sarcastic haven't you got anything better to be doing voice.

When you're reading a thread like this for about the 5th time

You can read and understand the fishy ones posts!

when u search ppls names (incase of trolling) and think ooh they're newbies only been here for a few weeks

when you say...
deffo brill... in RL

What is Parp?

Is it Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)?

Oh, the shame

When you can guess who started a thread just from the title on active conversations.
