how did you find out about mumsnet and how long have you been a mumsnetter?

[layla]

Thought it was time to do this thread-am always thinking of ideas for new 'other subjects'thread as it's my favourite thread.

I have been a mumsnetter for it must be 4 years now and first read about it in I think an observer article.

Oh should say I came here from a link on the GBSS website, this was something I was terribly worried about at the time and Mumsnet provided some much needed reassurance and light relief.

texan bars...you are the only person i know who seems to remember.....(not that a know you!!!).i found mumsnet through a search for the Hib booster and then was so releived that it wasn't just me worrying and have been hooked ever since......best thread is a hard one, but i loved a one called "i love.",(i think), all the personal little things our babies do

been on since feb this year
found it on another website
loads of favorite threads

Hi Batey,how y doin-bought any fat face clothes lately?I l remember the horse one,and Tinker had me in hysterics with her comments.
Yes berries I'm still around,enjoying it more now than the early days-it seems more friendly now and I don't feel like doing a strop these days.I've grown into it it feels like an old wooly jumper now.

I actually can't remember when I discovered MN - I think it was about 1 year ago, and I was searching for advice on weaning, I think. I can't recall! Being the selfish person that I am, my favorite threads are the ones that I start - that are extremely helpful to me

About three years, but didn't post for quite a while as too nervous! (And just look at me now, Ma.)

Can't remember how I found the site - by chance through a search engine I think.

....am waiting for the Fat Face sale now Layla!!

Just searched for me on the search board thing. It looks like I first posted in April, but I know I've been lurking for way longer than that.

Did a search for Gina Ford and got her transcript of the live chat from way back.

Ok so I am a bit bored and tired at the mo, fed up with tv, need to keep myself awake !!! Finding things to post on!!!
Came on here ooh about 10 weeks ago through ask jeeves and so far haven't left!!! There should be an addiction warning!!

After I left UKP in January after the usual cat-fights, I googled for "parenting" and voila!

Been here ever since - by far one of the most friendliest sites I've visited (not too difficult after UKP )

Wots UKP???

I've been here about 3 1/2 years, apparently - can't remember how I got here.

There are so many great threads on here, too many to choose a fave.

did an internet search on baby back pack around sept/oct, dh and ds not happy as I am addicted (ds gets fobt off with "I have to do some work now...)

Just looked through my posts, apparently I've been here for just over 2 years, though I confess leaving the fold for a while in the middle.

I too have NO idea how I found this place!

only since August, and I read an article in (I think) Practical Parenting. When I popped in for a look the first thread I saw was about Buffy so haven't left yet!

found it while doing a search on Omneo comfort, think its fab only been doing it about a week and addicted already!

Oldie here
Been for 4 years and discovered it via a friend who no longer posts ! Been addicted (DH says our sex life would be MUCH better without mumsnet,.... yeah right.... OK maybe he has a point he is in bed and I am posting )

The nursery where I work had some posters up promoting the Mumsnet book, and as I had ds1 and was pregnant with ds2 at the time, thought it might be an idea to have a look...

6 months later, I still come on most days to have a look at what everyone's up to!

V addictive! And some fantastic advice and support on here too.

lurking since late 2000 - omigod 3yrs! my mother had read about mumsnet and told me about it iirc. didn't post until august 2001.

since feb-march this year

Jasper introduced me to mumsnet just under 2 years ago. Can't believe it has been that long!

I found it in the Guardian I think - the weekly Editor used to have a column of good websites and I think this was in there - about 3 years ago - good grief!

Probably about 8 months now,I heard about it from the sunday times mag.
Have to thank jimjams and robinw for being a fantastic source of information and support.Have to have a lurk every night before I lay me down to sleep!

a friend told me about it before i got the internet link
am very sadly and deeply addicted!!!

About 3 weeks, children were winding each other up big style, bedrooms very messy...so typed in how to get children to tidy bedrooms and here it was. It really is the best website I have found as when feeling you're the only one with mad children you find you are completely the same as other parents....and love the ability to discuss any subject here.
