Who are the newbies?

I've only been on mn for a few months - August I think it was. Who else is a newbie? It's hard to tell from posts who is new and who is 'old'! Also, do any other newbies find

1 you can kill a thread stone dead with one flash of your nickname?

2 your threads fall off the active convos at an alarming rate

3 you spend ages thinking of something incredibly witty to say and no-one notices?

only joking really, love mn, am an addict!

Hello fellow newbies. Iam a MN of about 4 months standing. I made the mistake of jumping right in all of the threads when I first started and except for the lovely lulumam's bar was ritually ignored. I have tried starting a few convos with mixed success. But I still enjoy being here and wasting far too much time..

hi all. so pleased to see lots of newbies in one place. i was starting to feel v lonely

Don't want to be part of a clique, but I'm sort of a newbie. Joined in May as I had loads of stuff to flog before I moved house. Found the site confusing at first but now got the hang of it. In answer to original question yes to all three. I have since changed my name because it just didn't sound right on MN. I was Framan before! Might see you at the bar sometimes Lulumama and yet to meet your sister Taylormama as I know she lives in my area.

Another newbie here! Have been around since about October, when I was searching for people's views on baby wipes. I'm a market researcher and was doing a project for Huggies!

Since then have been completely addicted (am a mum in my own right, with 2 ds aged 14 and 11)

newbie too, since probably may. haven't been around much in the last month. I'm also Italian, so english is not my first language, and it takes me ages to write a post....

SpookyMadMerryChristmasMummy · 09/12/2006 17:11
